Your stats may well be right but I am pretty sure that your view of the players and the manager especially are not right. If I ever thought differently, my very long love affair with this great club would be over....
As fans, we can play our part on Saturday and I fully expect an excellent matchday atmosphere.

Fair comments, mate. My wife was astonished I put it on - I'm just all nerves about this one.
Apologies, all.

Their keeper who has let in four absolute howlers removes his mask in Scooby Doo fashion to reveal his secret identity........... David Button, the only keeper to have saved a penalty from John Swift in his professional career.

  ;D ;D

That is a brilliant answer!!

No need for apologies. I am nervous too, it is natural...

there may well have been an element of we have secured the play off spot and cannot challenge for top 2 so ....
added to a pinch of "bugger if we get promoted, I will have to move home / schools / family because I am out of contract and not going to get a prem deal.
All topped off with a drizzle of new team at the top, they are going to make their presence felt

and a side portion of "my agent keeps banging on about, last chance to get a deal and cash in the bank"

Cynical yes, but inevitable with an over the hill / end of contract dominated squad.
the road to the summit has dips, keep the faith when navigating those dips !!
Albion Family !!!

Needs a fast paced start really - try and get the crowd involved and put the game to bed as soon as possible.

We really do not want this lingering into the second half after yet another limp first half performance.

One thing that has got to happen is for the fans to get behind the team.

I believe we are something like 20th in the league table for the past 6 games on 4 points. Thankfully so are Preston  :P

This time tomorrow we'll either be in the play offs or witnessing a massive meltdown on here with wild comments aplenty.

Yes. Come out all guns blazing, frighten them and keep them on the back foot.
Attack is the best form of defence.
If you are in their half, they have to run the length of the pitch to try to score.

Well, at least half a pitch length (less shooting range)

Nappy filling man babies 'aplenty' having emotional outpourings would be my guess  ;D .
It doesn't matter how many resources you have.
If you don't know how to use them, they will never be enough.
Oh, and always remember to defecate on those Vile chaps in claret and spew.

I think there’ll be a great atmosphere tomorrow and I think we’ll win.

The play-offs are a different story, but let’s get there first.

Over the top hypebole calling for the manager's head stuff like that or to be blunt what Dan says.

What qualifies/defines people as filling their pants though?

What if people are 'just ' disappointed? I'd be very disappointed and for me the season will be a failure, i got no problem stating that now. I understand that others might not see things that way but i'm not sure that makes people wild etc.

In most situations after a "disappointment" anger and frustration set in and we say things that in a more rational state of mind we would'nt.
This is not everyone but seeing the comments on the matchday thread and after a loss I would fully expect a massive meltdown.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up   :)

I fully expect us to achieve the point required for a play off place! The play offs themselves are a different kettle of fish which tbh I'd be surprised if we got through! I expected this season to be a struggle, next season probably will be irrelevant of which league we're in! We've done well, what will be will be! 1-0 for me!

We have done very well, over-achieved in my book. Having got this close however it would be disappointing to miss out. Come on lads, do it for us. Let’s worry about play-offs once we get there.

For me it’s a failure if we don’t make the play offs now given the position we were in.

I'm confident about tomorrow, wouldn't be surprised if both Norwich and Hull lose either.
