Sadly I will be missing yet another game at the Bridge tomorrow.
I fancy us to win comfortably tomorrow but I’m not sure why. Fernandez will probably score a couple.
Anyway, Come on my mighty Blues.

Certainly, hope it will be Fernandez, not Fernandes, on the score sheet with a couple, Tom!
Sorry you will not be there to cheer the lads on.
Frankly, I don't know what to expect tomorrow night, but I'd think a win for us is essential, but given their points advantage, not so much for them in terms of ECL qualification. Having said that, our home form in the EPL has been largely abysmal all season, and United will be coming off that loss to Brighton, and will probably think we're there for the taking. Let's hope they're wrong, and that EF's return will fire us up and get us creating and taking chances.
Another home loss may see our EPL season disintegrate, and even Conference League football not happen.
Mind you, what do others think: would it be better to have no Conference League (English League One level) football and focus on the EPL and domestic cups? If that is the case, and we miss out on the Champions League and UEFA competitions? Or would picking up another trophy, however poor the competition, be better than none?

No Conference League, thanks. I'd prefer no European football if we're not in the CL. Players would get rested during the week, and hopefully the club is going to spend some money on mercenaries in the summer anyway.

We have 'already won it all', therefore, if it's not ECL or Europa, ditch the Conference League.

As for tomorrow's game, two mediocre teams playing each other: who knows? If we don't get CL football, I would prefer no European football. There is no glory in the other European tournaments, which are set up to appease also rans. Also, it means more Thursday and Sunday football; you can go months without a 3:00PM Saturday game.
