Next Stop Reality Central

People have been talking about Must Win games since the pre season friendlies, and that's all been nonsense.
However , I think we have to face the fact that what happens this Saturday will determine the rest of the campaign.
We cannot afford another meltdown like the last two at this stage of the season simply because the chances of correcting the trajectory are running down. They haven't quite run out, but the targets and now clear and we must reach them or fail.
If there's a repeat of recent apathy and carelessness then we will really have hit that brick wall that Mr Merson's been speaking of.
If on the other hand we can at least rally enough to gain a point and regain some confidence in the players, that's a realistic aim which could be a turning point.
A win, which we really should be capable of ,would be better of course and it's not unrealistic providing the confidence returns .
So, here we are then. I've stated the obvious, I know that, but it needs saying nonetheless because this really is the defining moment of our season and we have to face it.
I could, like everyone else , state my opinion of how we should line up and the tactics which I think are most likely to succeed , but I'm not picking the team. Sir Neil is doing and we must put our faith in him to do it correctly.
Let's intend to be successful .

Yeah but... you said that using your own algorithms you've worked out that we are definately going to finish 10th.
So will you now admit your calculations didn't exist and it was a (inaccurate) guess?
