    I'd argue it is, despite us not having Davies. The squad otherwise, is about as strong as it is going to be on the run in. 3 points tomorrow & Sunderland & Pompey have a lot to do.

    I don’t think any game at this stage is must win but it will br a big miss if we don’t win tomorrow. Walsall are doggers at the minute so we need to beat them.

    These gave Sunderland a game at SoL last week so no mugs .
    However we’ve more than enough in the existing squad to win this just hope we start putting our chances away and the rest will look after itself imo

    Business end of the season now.. must win every game until we're over the line..
    For everyone we don't win, it puts more pressure on the next game Need to be heaping pressure on Sunderland not ourselves

    Walsall fans aren't too optomistic on their forum. Think we really need to win this one simply to put the pressure on points wise.

    Well if we lost and won the next 7 I think we would probably go up.
    But considering that is unlikely i would say it almost is. We really need to win the next 2 as to apply maximum pressure on Sunderland

    It is for me. Need to get back in the winning habit, begin the final push and put some pressure on our rivals.

    All these last games are must win. Every team in the top few of any division must be winning games at this point of the season. A draw is not the end of the world but we really need the 3 points....

    Every game from now on in is a must win game. There aren’t enough left for luxuries. And with the gap over Sunderland minimal as it is, 3 pts tomorrow is a must. Won’t be the end of the world if it’s 1, but then we even more reliant on others slipping up. Lot of talk about Sunderland and their fixture pile up, but success breeds success. We’v Seen it at Barnsley. Get on a confident run and 3 games in 8 days means nowt. We need wins. Play offs are a lottery..

    Presume Cam and Brown will be back tomorrow. If so then I'd expect us to draw at least.
    I'm really hoping those two will be able to slot straight back into the side without much trouble.

    Yes.

    Win the next two and I'll be confident we will get promoted. Sunderland would have the pressure of having to win all three games in hand to overtake us. With nine games in April it will be hard for Sunderland to keep the players both fresh and injury free with a workload they will be carrying knocks and picking up niggles in. Sunderland also have a tougher run in than us.

    Nothing is and nothing will be decided on this game alone.. but YES of course we've got to be looking to score some goals and win this game. Rather than try to hang on and accept another awful 0-0 point!.

    I'd say they're all must win because we're at the point where a draw is about as useful as a defeat, other than for the purpose of keeping the unbeaten run going.

    Dunno about everyone else, but I think playing before everyone else adds it's own pressure, and I'll be glad to get tomorrow out of the way and back to 3 o'clock kick offs.

    Luton v Donny tomorrow. Donny haven't won there for 60odd years, so can't see that going in our favour.

    Pompey starting to spring to life, so we need to retain the gap, although their recent record at Shrewsbury isn't good, so you never know there.

    Main job is making Sunderlands games "must win" now. Let them have a bit of pressure to contend with.

    I'm very positive for tomorrow. It's "as you were" in terms of having the same team that started at Southend, plus Brown who missed a large chunk of it.

    2 goalless draws have changed some people's mindset, but for me, we've played 2 good teams, and apart from Dougals injury we came through unscathed, and I still think we've got enough to get us over the line.
