Surely we must win on Saturday!?

A dire performance tonight on Sky.

 

I hope so.

I know I have not exactly been complimentary towards Murray but I wish him well and hope he can get us his first win for us at the weekend.

 

With Barnsley and Stoke defences its got a 5-5 draw written all over it.

 

I'll go 5-4 to us

 

Depends which way the ref is kicking.

 

I'd be telling Murray if we can get us the win on saturday then he can have the job until the end of the season and let him have the proper opportunity to put his stamp on this team.

Lose to this shower and we need to rule him out of the job.

 

And if we draw ( probably the most likely result?(

 

Two dreadful teams. A non or low scoring game littered with nerves and indecision.

 

I'm hoping nerves will.be less given they're playing at home.

 

Another draw.

 

They will appoint a new manager this week,he will then give them a kick up the backside and then they will hammer us it’s bloody nailed on.

 

Think i'd file a draw under the same as a loss considering the opposition

 

We’ve already lost to Huddersfield rather miserably though. Even if we beat Stoke, who else are you expecting us to beat? Are our expectations really this battered

 

The games we've done well in are the games we're supposed to lose. I think it'll be a cagey game and if we win it'll be a scraped 1-0. Stoke don't come out and play so it could be difficult.

 

They are unbelievably battered mate for me anyway. Think this is the bottom of the barrel for me though if we can't get 3 points at home against this sorry state then we are well and truly knackered.

 

It'll be an intriguing one. We're obviously lacking quality, but we've got fight and passion - looks by all accounts like Stoke are missing both. I think we could do well.

 

Beating bottom of the league gets you the job. Shows how much fans expectations have lowered.

 

If we won on Saturday then that would be six points from his five games. That would be 55 points over a season by itself, but three of those five were against teams currently sitting in the top six.

6 from a possible 15 is hardly playoff form, but I think it would be a very creditable return from some tough games in difficult circumstances.

 

Unless the board saw Murray as a possible replacement to DS all along then they would be foolish to rush into appointing him permanently imo. He's making a go of it right now and I hope that continues but if it's just based on his results as to now I personally would rather they showed more caution.

 

Although it was a top v bottom clash WBA defended very well .
Stoke are nothing to write home about but they do carry a threat going forward ,
It’s a threat that a good defence can comfortably cope with and that’s where we could fall down .
Stoke defenders is questionable mind so as said above it could be a high scoring game but now I’ve said it it’ll be 0-0
