Simplify it all, win this and stay up. Full focus on this game, win and all will be ok; well sort of until the insurrection that is the transfer thread.

Don't fill your kecks and finish the job off.

Winning does it for us.

But if not we have some insurance if Burnley dont get a point off Villa and join Leeds in needing a win last day.

I presume that they'll all have received their instructions.

I know it doesn’t really mean anything but after briefly looking over this years games, Leeds and Burnley have both won once when played on the same day. (May be wrong and looked over a week but if not once, twice.)

Good stat. Very unlikely they both get points never mind wins and on the same day.

If we dont get out of it on Thursday the next best thing is keeping Burnley 2 points behind us.

I mean we're only really short of Collina looking at that lineup

Brentford wont roll over they hate each other

Now you're talking. There is history between us and Leeds. Sunday is a grudge match. Us Bees hate Leeds & vice versa, it goes back to our days in the Championship. Thomas Frank is despised by Leeds. Try not to worry too much Evertonians, the Bees ought to win & THEY WILL give 100% , I can assure you. There's no love lost between Bees and Leeds. However it crucial for you to beat Palace. That's the question.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I can't see Burnley beating Villa.

If we don't win this, we're relying on Brentford or Newcastle to do us a massive favour IMO.

Newcastle are snides, so my hope would be Brentford.

I've realised the past week that Brentford fans really don't like Leeds, there's some bad blood there around 'mind the gap' which perhaps our new Brentford visitors could inform on.

I'm sure their manager would be relishing the prospect to relegate them.

According to the Daily Fail...

• Crystal Palace are planning on staying at a secret location outside of Merseyside ahead of Thursday's clash at Everton to avoid being woken up in the middle of the night by fireworks.

I’m cautiously optimistic we can get a result against palace. Big atmosphere at Goodison and as long as our players don’t give the ref any decisions to make in terms of potential red cards then we’ve every chance. Of course palace are a better side than us currently but it wouldn’t be that much of an upset for us to win.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Soton were made safe by Leeds drawing at the weekend. Wish we were...

 

[Bilbo]

The back four will need to shape up, whoever FL plays...

 

[Lob]

Thinking we might be better to just start this game with 10 men to save the wear and tear of the red cards for the officials. Kind and considerate and all that.
