We have to set realistic expectations for today - both the players and us as a fan base.
No game is a gimme so we have a chance of a surprise a la Brentford, but realistically a draw would be a great result.
MR got it right last game and pressure is on to do the same. As always, we look better when we aren’t set up to be ultra defensive, as it just invites pressure and we can’t get the ball successfully up the pitch.
I would stick with two up front, and probably start Walker/Gyokeres, as the latter will harry and pressurise. I’d worry Godden would overdo it and re-injure himself. However if he starts then him/MR will have a based it on medicinal opinions and facts I’m sure.
Ideally we get through today unscathed and with a point, and perhaps with a big underdog performance and them being off form we get more.
Either way, it’s not a loss that should result in agenda pushing and breakdowns on here but I’m sure some have their knives sharpening as we speak.
What are your realistic expectations for today G?Rinse and repeat from (not very) great expectations

How would you set up for the game today? Would you stick with two up front? I’m struggling to work out how it would be best to approach this one to be honestDepends - he could rest players ahead of next week

I'll never be able to view a poxy little club like Bournemouth as a free hit, regardless of the players on their books. Hope we play 2 up top again and go for them.Far too much "free hit" nonsense banded about
He’s bottled it quite frankly, he’s shit himself again at this level.Surprised he hasn’t rested Godden he must see us getting at their defence today

Exactly what I was thinking.?? Is this sarcasm??
They’re not invincible. They’re fighting for the top six, not pissing the leagueCan’t see anything but a hammering looking at their side. Would love to be wrong.
Yes mate. Tongue in cheek, having a poke at CC84COV’s comment about Robins?? Is this sarcasm??
I wonder what copy and paste responses he will use todayYes mate. Tongue in cheek, having a poke at CC84COV’s comment about Robins
Let’s hope Godden don’t break down again today then else we know what everyone will be saying with another game coming Thursday arguably the biggest of the seasonHe’s bottled it quite frankly, he’s shit himself again at this level.
