Sunday is a massive game
Doesn't fall into must win due to games remaining. But its one of those where a win reduces boro to then concentrate on play offs. Depending on other results similar to them too.
We have got to show up. We really do
Speaking to a boro friend they think Hackney will be back. | |

Read somewhere they were in top two for over 200 days. Heck of a fall-off but certainly not out of it. |  |

Losing Hayden Hackney and Morgan Whittaker at the same time would seriously weaken any team. |  | | |

Apart from the fact we can probably lose one and draw one and still go up…. |  | | |

I disagree, this is a must win, otherwise we're looking at having to win 3 of the last 4 and draw Vs Southampton. Both remaining home games are must win to give leeway in the 3 away games back to back to back. |  |

by very definition, then it's not a must-win because (as you say) we have leeway!
it would be very useful to win though! |  |

I'm not overly optimistic for Sunday we go one down we are hopeless and gutless. Sounds harsh I think very fifty fifty if we can get over the line. | | | |

that's a bit defeatist and based on one poor result.
looking more positively:-
we've gone 1 up more often than we've gone 1 down
before portsmouth, the last 5 times we went 1-0 down, we pulled it back to parity (we went on to lose at wrexham and win v brum), hardly gutless | |

Not at all based on one result until Birmingham we had not come back from being a goal down for 18 months plus and that game we was very fortunate to win with the goal that never was. | | | |

That's taking must win to the literal word of the letter and if you get to that point you're done for already.
Realistically if we want to finish in the top 2 this is one where I think anything other than a win is a huge blow.
Only exception being a draw, when Saints and Millwall both lose but there is zero chance of that happening. | |

read it again, we came back from 1 down in the previous 5 games before pompey, if brum was a tad lucky (our stats were better in just about every way), double that for stoke and leicester! | |

a must-win is one that we *must* win, clue's in the wording, a draw would keep us above boro and in the box seat against soton and millwall with our game in hand.
there is not zero chance of soton and millwall losing (but a draw is also very handy!)
it'd be handy to win, but we won't be promoted with a win or play-off bound with a loss, stop catastrophising! | |

Ok, that's your view, for me it's a must win, if not I struggle to see us getting top 2. Must win in football terms isn't only used exclusively in the context where if you don't win you mathematically can't achieve something any more.
For Man City the Arsenal game is a 'must win' for instance, although that wouldn't fit you criteria. | |

how many "must-win" games have we had so far?
some people have had 41, we've failed to win 20 and we're still 2nd with a game in hand!
just go one game at a time, try and win it, if we fail or succeed, try and win the next one.
last 6 games last promotion season, a lot of people had them as must-wins, yet we could have won zero and still be promoted... | |
