I'm sure they'll be thinking the same.
Given a lot of their spend was players from last season they were obliged to buy, id be most disappointed if we cannot edge this.

You're right, but they’re just not very good and favourites to go down …

… as you say, this will be a disappointment if we fail to win.
 
Interesting seeing the predictions for relegation from fans on socials and we are appearing less and less.

Means nowt, but it’s pleasant to see.

Burnley firmly bottom in everyone’s eyes.
Hope those predictions gain some traction at 5 pm on Saturday. Bit early after one match,but,after two!
 
I was busy yesterday so only just watched the RLB pre-Burnley press conference......I'm more and more impressed with him.
Say something at the if you kna why these 2 should not be joined together in holy matrimony speak now or forever hold your tongue

say aye the lads kick off in a hour jobs a good un lol
 
Seriously, if we can’t have a decent expectation of beating Burnley I don’t think we can be confident for the rest of the season …

… we won’t get many better chances for three points than tomorrow.
Completely agree Smug. In my opinion, this is one of the target games where we expect to pick up points, it might not happen but we should target teams that we expect to be in and around us. There will be plenty games where we need to park the bus and anything we get from those games will be a bonus.
Faint heart never won fair maiden, lets have a bit of belief in ourselves. I am sure the quality of players we have brought in, they will go into this game confident of a win.
We probably need to finish on 38 points to be safe so 35 more to go :emoticon-0105-wink:
