Clearly.  But calling tomorrow’s game anything like a ‘need’ to win defies even that.

Clearly you don't understand the psychology of going into a match without anything but a need to win it mentality. Bnmth will be so up for it because they need it so bad and if we don't match that intensity we will quite probably struggle, so logically, to do well tomorrow, we have to be as fired up as Bnmth if not more so, because they are easily capable of beating us if not.  Every game is a cup final for clubs trying to get promoted and we HAVE to treat games the same way, otherwise those two points we need will get harder and harder to come by.  That means we have to play as if we need those points - which of course we actually do!

I've watched so many matches this season where we've just managed to come out on top, usually because of inept finishing by opposition teams. Bnmth/Watford/Barnsley - even Reading are all quite capable of beating us, QPR are a bit unpredictable.  I know the chances of us not getting two points are slim, we should do it, but anyone who thinks our matches are not must wins is not really thinking on the level. Until we get those two points, they are must wins.

This could all be academic if Brentford/Swansea drop points, but until they do, or we get those two points, the mentality has to be at the very highest of standards.

Our matches are " must not lose".

Holy crap, some people can waffle for England!

We have never won so many games in a season by just one goal but looked so comfortable just the same.

Just the first two. Do that and we can lose the next three 10-0.

Lakey of course would come out with some theory that the team must go into the close season on a high ( conveniently forgetting that last season a Premier League team humiliatingly lost all their last 9 fixtures, were relegated but now sit 15 points clear of 3rd with 5 games to play 😎 )

Norwich City 2 AFC Bournemouth 2..............

[Essjayess 307]

Swansea and Brentford both look nailed down to win their games tomorrow so i can see the Champers being put on ice for 1 more week. 4 draws and 1 defeat to equal exact stats of 2 years ago..long shot but could happen  considering who we play. But eventually Swansea, Brentford, Watford and Bournemouth all have games coming up , just like us, where they have to play other teams in the top 6, so  promotion is still just a matter of time.

Pure guess like the rest  on here, but a draw  for me or a narrow defeat..for once i sense we could lose, but would not be disasterous.

[Yellow Fever 3,785]

I always fear banana skins but Farke doesn't do these anymore.

I suspect a dull 1:1

1 - 1 for me too

Another classy Dowell effort from the edge of the box after 57mins followed 12mins later by a Solanke equaliser. A cagey finish with Pukki & Cantwell and also Billing going close but overall a fair result. Buendia to receive some more 'special treatment.' A couple of hairy moments for Omobamidele but another solid display on the whole. The job gets completed early next week.

City 1, Bournemouth 0.

City fan here for many years.  Also a Wyoming Cowboys football fan.

As we don't need to win this game, perhaps we can rest Buendia & Cantwell in ready for Watford who are challenging us for the title, Can't afford to have those two injured unnecessarily.

We need to get over the line as soon as possible. I literally can't believe some of you are so sure of yourselves. Lose today, lose against Watford and suddenly we will be hardly clear of second place and if brentford and swansea getting six points, possibly looking as if they could catch us, or at least threatening to.    We'll do it, but we need to do it today if possible - so best team out there, 100% at it.  Win today and we are there. Lose and we see a bit of pressure starting for the next games.

[HazzaJet 253]

Bournemouth were looking like they were going to finish outside the playoffs, but now they’re back in business. Our current league statistics are down to our form though. 1-1

[Danke bitte 965]

A tough game tbf. A draw probably. 0-0 or 1-1.

We just have to wait a little while longer for promotion confirmation (given I doubt Swansea and Brentford will lose today).

I think Bournemouth will come at us, and if they score first we could have a tough game. But this team is made of some tough stuff and beating us isn't easy anymore. A 2-1 come from behind win, and another class performance from Cantwell the unpredictable.

Yes, but he also knows that dropping the intensity at this stage would mean we start dropping points too. I get the feeling that some people just think we have to turn up and it's a done deal - but every game is a battle and these next few games are no different.  

On the small chance that Brentford or Swansea manage to win their remaining games, we have to be at our very best to make sure we get over the line, sooner rather than later.  Today would be great.

 

[Fiery Zac 1,066]

“I’m looking forward to that feeling again”

”that makes this promotion even more valuable”

 

Farke knows it’s a done deal. Why shouldn’t we fans express it too and enjoy ourselves.
