    There is no chance they come here to take a draw, knowing all the pressure is likely on us. They'll be wanting to win the game and the way they'll do that is by hitting us on the counter attack. They'll be quite happy for us to have the ball.

    A draw probably suits us more to be honest. We would still keep the distance, they need to win both their games in hand to actually go top and we have more of a chance of getting our better players back fit(Abada, CCV, Reo) and keeping them fit, while hopefully adding the quality we hope we are going to get in the winter window.

    You look at the * Rangers have out and it's not exactly like their good players. Just players they think are good. * Lundstrum and Jack do * all but kick people, Raskin is vastly overrated by their fans and Lawrence hasn't been off the treatment table and gets better in their minds the less he plays. Danilo is also absolutely garbage as well. We've been missing our best players for large parts of the season.

    Not going to lie, I'd take a draw right now, if it was offered.

    CCV out has hampered us big time. Not at all confident about tomorrow tbh. This was a game 3 weeks ago we looked like dominating. Will be lucky to score and certainly lucky not to concede.

    Are we the under dogs going in to this game??

    Definitely a far more pessimistic feeling going in to this game for a long time.

    We should not be in this position going into this game. We should've been comfortable in the league and had a very strong squad.

    It’s when players get injured you really realise how terrible our last 3 transfer windows have been. Get Mark Lawwell out of my club

    CCV out is a massive blow obviously but they have injuries too. There’ll be one day we go into a game v them when we don’t have major players injured. Imagine CCV and fit and firing Hatate and Abada? If only.

    Ugh honestly can’t believe CCV. That Clement’s luck has been endless so far

    Disappointed at how many fans are so depressed and pessimistic about this game and are almost running scared of their team and putting it on bad fortune. They have the spine of their team missing and we are at home, full crowd, yes missing one or two but most core players are there. What the actual fck goes through people's minds. We are favourites and we will remain that way for the foreseeable.

    This is the most pessimistic I have been about a derby game since the Huns rose from the dead! I would take a draw at this moment in time.

    They've got a few injuries too and even less depth than us..

    Getting nervous now but if we turn up we win simple as that..

    Crazy to see how many people would take a point now.

    They have plenty of injuries as well and it's not like they're flying or anything, luck has little to do with the refs/var keeping them in it, even with our inconsistency recently we would still be miles clear of them if not for that, we don't have anything to fear from their actual team.

    A draw would not be good enough. We simply have to win to take away their 2 games in hand advantage.

    A draw isn't great but it's not fatal.

    However, lose and we're 4 behind as the Huns will win their two games in hand.

    That's an appalling situation to be in.
