The 'right' approach might only be possible with hindsight. If the club did as you suggest and the team went out and didn't perform, everyone would be rightly on their backs for not recognising the importance of the match to the fans. With owners / senior management that lots of fans still have considerable misgivings over, a new manager, and lots of new players, I think it's important the club signals to fans that they do recognise the added importance to us of beating that lot.

Nope, not the last time I looked 😂 Wow, this thread brings back a lot of memories!
