Is anyone else bizarrely confident that we will stay up?

    I’m not sure quite why but I’ve got a good feeling that we will stay up this year.

    No. The last time I felt as certain we'd be relegated was the 2008/09 season. We stayed up by the skin of our teeth.:D

    Not confident at all, playing catch up. As we saw last season when we had points on the board and Sunderland and pompey had games in hand always better to have points on the board. Hope I'm wrong but think we will be playing accrington rather than aston villa next season.

    It's the football they've tried to play all season that's made me think we'll stay up.

    I am very confident we will stay up simply for a few reasons...

    - We are now grinding out results to get either draws or wins
    - We have clicked into gear with our first 11, and can make "effective" changes if needed.
    - We have three home games in March, all of which we are capable of 9 points
    - We have different adaptions to the diamond which have proved sustainable to gain points
    - Solbauer and Halme have developed a very strong and confident partnership, Collins has put in top performances to increase the likelihood of clean sheets.
    - Mowatt has covered every blade of grass this season and will continue to do so.

    I feel if we get to April and we are still in with a shot of staying up, then its all 'throw the kitchen sink at it'. Struber has instilled belief into this squad, something Stendel couldn't do, The players definitely show that they care and want to stay in this league.

    Not at all confident just hoping , it’s a reasonable task at present but needs a massive effort from the whole club and certain other teams to lapse a bit but all’s not lost yet .
    We can avoid the drop whether we will is a story to come .

    Not confident unfortunately. I think it was the Charlton game that decided it for me, followed by draws against poor Sheff weds and Brum sides BUT I have enjoyed the way we've played football on the whole this season and its nice to see the young uns developing.

    Don't think we'll stay up, but made a better fist of it than I thought we would. Our record against the likes of Stoke, Luton and Charlton will ultimately be the undoing of us.

    I'm more hopeful than confident, we have a decent chance and are currently playing well enough to grasp that chance.

    Couldn't have put my own thoughts better myself tbh. Except we contrived to lose against that Birmingham side...

    Yes, but I have no idea why. There's no logical reason to think so.

    Nope I think struber will tinker with team as in playing ritzmier instead of Thomas and formation I would love for us to stay up but got no faith in struber.

    Was probably that bored that the Birmingham goal was missed.

    I think we'll win a few more games, but not enough. This season will go down as a.. well with squad we had we gave it a go season..
    So what most actully thought back in August really
    Us and Luton down, then Wigan and the other 3 or 4 above em scraping to avoid the 3rd spot..

    Think we’ve left ourselves too much to do with only 10 games left. Can see us finishing on about 45 points which will probably be 5 short.
    Hope I’m wrong though.....I often am!
