| A win which takes the pressure off. 09:44 - Oct 11 with 1899 views | muccletonjoe |
No one would be expecting to win at Manchester City next week and in all honesty , we probably won't. But we have given ourselves a free game with that result yesterday.
I think the long break was showing its effects in parts of that game yesterday, we were far from our best , but the important bit is the scoreline and at the end of the day You don't get any extra points for playing well. Full marks to the players for believing . Walton and Lukic were two that stood out for Me.
Just need to keep picking these points up where and when we can. Making it easier on ourselves at the minute by getting them 3 at a time. A good habit. |  | | |  |

It’s probably just me but I dislike the terms “free games” or “free hits”.
I understand your logic but I hope that the players do not go into that match with that mentality. As you said, three points is unlikely but sometimes upsets do happen. |  | | |

I think confidence will be high after fulham, so i am sure they will ho there thinking they can do something. As you say, upsets can happen. We all know its a tough ask though. | | | |

Very much doubt that that’s the attitude of the squad and staff but as fans we can say it, it manages expectation.
I’ll of course be travelling up to Manchester next week with hope that we can get a result, a draw at best, but I travel there expecting to travel back with nil pois - but if I travel back disappointed with nothing then I know we gave it a good go. |  |

O'Neil takes a lot of pride from beating Man City and was a bit of ego (which I'm fine with) in hiwnhe out his Wolves side out and the plan worked perfectly.
Only concern is he changes a bit too much and tries to be a bit clever with it but he knows what he is doing and he really wants another result and won't be seeing it as a free hit.
A draw would be lovely frankly. |  |

It’ll be a tough ask - they do have a CL match against PSG this week as well as another CL match next week as well. Possibly Enzo Maresca will try to manage his squad and rest players for our match? | | | |

Ignoring their form for a moment, nobody expected us to take anything from Man Utd or Liverpool, so you might look at it that we’ve won 3/4 games where we might have been expected to get something - and the one we lost was with 10 men. A lot of positives - getting anything at MC would be huge. | | | |

I'm not seeing or feeling this pressure thing.
We're not after the title or champions league place. We're lower tier. We don't have to win most games and are not expected to. We're going to have bad runs and get battered now and then. But we can afford to go on bad runs if we go on mini good runs.
With 6 games gone, I do not understand looking too deeply into it.
Can't we just enjoy it. I don't care too much if we lose to Man City as long we're competitive against bottom 10 or 12 teams. | | | |

I expect next week we will continue the same match plan as all games regardless of opponent to get our lads playing our plan A the best way possible |  |

I wouldn’t put ManUre in the same bracket as City and Liverpool. They have been dire all season and their only win so far has been against us, a match which we should have gotten something from. We were suicidal at Old Trafford, make no mistake about that | | | |

I agree, I don't really see any way that we get a result against Cheateh although hoping for some minor miracle.
To be honest I'd take a 0-2 now and move on to the games that affect our season.
Whilst it's not a 'free hit' GON will no doubt go for it and we'll likely lose by 4 or 5 which is no disgrace, may as well go and give there and give it a go rather than sit back.
The Forest game is a also a tough one, you just know no goal Delap will score and Forest should have battered Palace yesterday but didn't. | |

Very unlikely the biggest thing is to win the games like Sunderland, palace , Fulham and possibly Everton 3 out of 4 is good . We have 1.5 points a game would give you 57 points which would be incredible. Just take games as they come. I'm sure come Jan a few fringe players will leave and a few players to help us further improve will arrive. | | | |

We'll probably beat Man City and then all of their results for the season will be expunged next week. |  | | |

We're on -3 goal difference we don't want that to damaged, |  | | |
