RDZ is right in that nothing else matters but saving the club from relegation. Do not give a toss at the moment about which players are going, who we might buy, whether ENIC or Vinai or Lange will stay or go, the financial implications of failure. It is all about Sunday. Succeed and we can then think about the future. Fail and it will set us back years, no guarantee that like last time we will get back straightaway but the damage it could do will affect us for several seasons.

Cannot see Maddison starting after what RDZ & Maddison said yesterday. Hope Solanke can also get 30 mins. We must go for the win and that means we need an attacking option on the bench unlike recent matches. If no Solanke then one of the kids. We need to get a win so that we do not have the pressure of starting next season with the record of not having won at home in 8 months.

Yes, we should have Melia or a n other attacking option if Solanke isn't able to take any part in the match.

Missing the game. Maybe for the best. Got to go to a BBQ with my partners two friends. One is a Chelsea fan.

Poor sod , they’ve got absolutely nothing to play for on Sunday; go easy on him ….
 
Can Everton make Europe with a win against us?

Somebody wrote yesterday that the Conference Cup is a possibility. I think it's a very slim outside chance, based on the other teams that have to play each other and goal difference.

I don't know how much of this nothing to play for is being evidenced but in the main (he says hopefully), home advantage in a last game of the season is better than being away. Mind you, so far the one team to lose and buck that trend is Everton.

How much Moyes will want to end the sesson with a win, and how hard he pushes his players is unknown,but I suspect they would want to show professional pride.

But that much to play for - I don't see it myself.
 
I'm not entirely pessimistic and I expect us to get a result and stay up. That said, if we do actually get a penalty, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the taker miss. That basically has to be the outcome, right?
