West Brom is not a must win game 09:25 - Apr 4 with 4383 viewsSwansIndependent


West Brom is not a must win game 4th Apr 2018 09:23
I have read many times on here, and other sources, in recent days that Saturday's game at West Brom is a must win game for the Swans but we should come away from statements like that as they just aren't true. 0



What will the result be against West Brom?

There's only one game that is a 'must win', that's the game that will see us mathematically relegated if we don't take three points.

However, we have three games left where our chances of winning are highest and WBA is one of them. We obviously also don't know what points total will make us safe yet, but I would suggest we need at least seven more points, so those three games take on extra significance.

I think 'must not lose' is a better label for this one.

I agree - mostly. Personally, I'd take a point now (I wouldn't have said that before Pardew was sacked). 35 points may even be enough, but obviously shouldn't be the target! If we win on Saturday though, I think we'll be way more than fine. Big game, and a point would keep the momentum going - just, especially with JA (not just the Jack Army...) back against Everton.

Must win for me. If we go down the 'must not lose' route before you know it'll be like under Monk and Clement camped on the edge of our 18 yards box for 75 minutes match.

Course its a must win match.. if we do win and other results go our way then that will take a big step to safety and the opposite scenario if we lose.

The management and players need to embrace the pressure and deal with it and not hide behind the pressure of may be losing.

I think you are going to lose. You will need to beat Stoke on the last day, almost like a playoff.

That would be most like us; never do things the simple way when you can have a bit of drama. I see others have reminded you of PO matches against Stoke, so don't need to go there

Depends how you frame the 'must win' question. If we want to stay up without an absolute pressure cooker experience, then it's absolutely a must win, yes. This is the last 'free hit' before it gets bloody tough (don't be fooled by Everton or Chelsea, they have much better players than WBA to damage us, and we aint getting nowt at Etihad.

They are bottom with 20 points from 32 games because they are shit and haven't won since the ice age.

We might not win of course, nthing's ever certain, but we must go into it with a 'must win' attitude in the team and the fans. If we don't win, certainly if we lose, we should be bitterly disappointed in my view, however we try and dress it up and pick out 'the positives'.

2 wins should be enough from here.

we have 4 very winnable games left
WBA, Everton, Southampton and Stoke.

plus 2 games were a draw is very possible
Chelsea, Bournemouth

so 14 achievable points up for grabs, if we get half of them we'll probably stay up

I agree, lose it and we have 3 very difficult to follow, we don’t need to be going into the last 3 games having to win two of them.

It is for me.
If we are not going all out to win this, then we could end up trying a backs to the wall approach and getting caught out.
Plus it puts more pressure on us for the remaining matches.

In my book it has to be 3 points as the quicker we attain the target which should be around 37/38 points this term we can rest easy . . we don't want to start having nerves affecting us if it drags on and especially not down to the last game against Stoke who I really want to see gone !!

Never liked Stoke but I did enjoy that game.

Surely it must be easier to get over, the more promotions you miss out on?

Yes, exactly my point, think of it like getting over a woman, it gets far easier the more you through to the point where you barely notice or care. I gave up caring about Cardiff City F.C. a long time ago. Still follow, but doesn’t affect my life one bit like most people I know. It always amazes me people get so worked up, have they nothing else going on in there lives ffs?

Rondon worry's me and now with Pardew gone I fear for us there Saturday, they'll play with freedom and I can see a 2-0 or a 3-1 defeat, really hope I'm wrong, but they've a lot of very decent players who could well decide to turn up this Saturday.
