So we were all looking at the Leicester game thinking it was a must win, but I think this Saturday is more important. Tuesday night left me wondering what the f*ck is going again....... more or less how I felt for the whole of last season and the start of this one. If we lose on Saturday - and you can bet that Burnley won't be coming for a point, or playing "conservatively", then I think the wheels might come off entirely.
There was a moment against Swansea - I have already mentioned it, but you know I am getting on so bear with me - when Charlie clearly had a right old moan at Harry on the touchline. I saw his point, we were playing like we had no plan at all let alone a "conservative" one. Doesn't bode well, in my opinion.
I am hoping against hope that we do get a result on Saturday, but at this stage I have to say that I'm not optimistic. |  |

If there's such a thing as a "must win" then both games are/were; which is part of the problem if you have a strategy that involves not taking any points from away fixtures. |  | | |

Personally, I'm hoping for another Championship farce of a game with the same outcome. Entertaining stuff but this time maybe just a little less nerve wracking.
And after last Saturdays result I am fairly confident of us getting a result. I really don't think Tuedays result will have any bearing on this game.
2-1 |  |

I'm hoping that you're right. Coming out and playing well would be in line with our apparent home and away schizophrenia. | |

my worry is burnley have proper strikers both better than leciesters and on a par to Austin in my view |  |

As bad as we've been away we've been good at home, holding man city is no mean feat and we nearly beat them, lets not go over board, nothing to suggest we shouldn't put in a good performance against burnley. |  |

At home we've been pretty good all season so would expect a close game and a decent chance of winning, similar to last week won't be easy and with Ings in form they are likely to score but would make us slight favourites.
The way we're approaching away games means every home game is a must win and if we do win it that should put us in a decent position ahead of the Christmas games, well better than it looked a few weeks back anyway |  | | |

There is no doubt that both teams will be up for it and it should be an exciting game. There is no reason why we should play differently than how we recently played at home.
I am very pleased that I will see one of my very rare live matches and am hoping for a 3-1 win. |  | | |

I'm bricking it TBH. Even with our home advantage I can see Burnley giving us real problems. The Leicester game was brilliant ( especially for the neutral and Sky stactition) but it was far far from a convincing performance.
This brilliant reply to Clive's report ( also brilliant) on the Swansea game from RangerKIK
sums up how I feel..

Excellent report as always. You always watch the same game as me!
I didn't post at the weekend as I didn't want to rain on the full steam ahead parade that beating Leicester had seemingly created. Some even posted that you report was overly mocking. I thought that was ridiculous. You just told it how it was but put a positive, not to say fun, spin on what most of know was one of the most tactically inept displays of football we have ever seen. We won on Sat by admirable determination AND a massive slice of luck. Football can be more Poker than Roulette Harry it really can.
Saturday 29th Nov - 'So boss what is the game plan for today' HR - 'Everyone do what you want and hopefully we will win'
Tuesday 2nd Dec - 'So boss what is the game plan for tonight' HR - 'Everyone panic from start to finish'
We were so outclassed last night is was frightening. No one played with any composure at all. BUT what makes these two games so frustrating is we are much better than this. Yes we lost to Chelsea but at least we looked organised and made them really have to work for any clear cut chances. Last night it was 'help yourself chaps, oh you missed, never mind here is the ball back, have another go'. Thank God for Green having an inspired night otherwise this could easily have been another 5 or 6 nil defeat.
Where has the Liverpool home form gone. Yes we lost but we know that was a freak. This Sat if we play against Burnley how we played against Liverpool......4 - 0 to us and no blood dripping off the tips of my fingers. Play on Sat like we played against Leicester.......who knows, toss a coin in the air someone.
I guess if we had got what we deserved against Chelsea and Liverpool it would have been a massive turning point and confidence would be so much higher. Maybe that explains last night. But it just so frustrating to see us seemingly, once again, to have no game plan at all. Has Sandro's and Zamora's absence ruined everything? Even Sat, after somehow getting to half time in the lead, did Harry tactically change the set up to fill the holes and slow the game down? Er no, seemingly said nothing. And when is he going to stop making excuses for everything! Apparently now he is saying the fixture list and quality of the opposition has conspired against us! Streuth!
But even through all this I still have a sense that getting away from the bottom 3 will free up the undouted talent in our team's legs. And Sat gives us this opportunity. Rodney has even gone so far as to say if we win Sat we stay up!!!! Hope you are right there Legend.
Come on you R's you are much better than this.

Given our away form every home game is a must win. The crazy thing is just 3 points away from home over 7 games would have placed us outside the drop, yet we are told away games are bonuses. |  |

Yep ..We could've had them at Newcastle if we looked at away games as every other team does. Another game where the goal is to beat the opposition or at least avoid defeat.
Feck all this 'bonus game' crap..

Hmm Burnley are picking up form ominously now, I have a bad feeling about this one.
I think it will be a score draw, but fear a narrow loss.
Is Zamora back? Our hit the ball long to Bobby is the only tactic Redknapp has stumbled upon that has really worked all season. | | | |

If Burnley come and attack us it may be because they are playing away to a team near the bottom of the league..An opportunity that the fixture list hasnt given us yet . How do you know what Austin said to Redknapp? |  | | |

Oh good morning, Harry. Nice move referring to yourself in the third person. Shouldn't you be out on the training ground with the lads?
Anyone who was there on Tuesday would have seen the exchange and I don't think that Charlie was being complimentary about "the system" we were playing.
As for the idea that the only reason we've had no points away is because of how hard our away fixtures have been, to believe that you really would have to ignore just how inept the performances have been. Yes, we've played good teams, but had we actually played to a plan ourselves - instead of reverting to the dross we played on Tuesday, for example. | |

Exactly, we might as well have Prem 1 and Prem 2 officially if we aren't going to attempt to win games against anyone in the top 10 coz it's 'ard...
If we'd got one win or even just a couple of draws against midtable oppo (Newcastle, West Ham, Swansea, Soton) we would be out of the relegation zone now. | | | |
