11 games to go and we've..............................

just had our equal worst run of 11 games all season-13 points
Best run was 21 from the Crawley to Rotherham wins
Time for blooding the youngsters to get them ready for next season??

 

With our growing injury list, as much as he doesn't rate our academy lads, DC's hand may be forced.

 

Need to stay positive. Next 4 games this month are all winnable.

 

Never say never.

 

If this season isn't too be a complete bust we have to win all four imo. Anything less and we aren't catching the teams in the top 6. Even winning those four might not be enough, but that has to be the level we aim for.

 

we need 6 wins and 5 draws just to get to 75 pts which sometimes scrapes into the playoffs. 69 has made it just once

 

Win those 4 will set us up nicely for.....
Birmingham A
Bolton H
Orient A

 

Would that be the likes of lopata, shepherd, marsh, lofthouse and yoganathan?

Unfortunately we shipped them out to make way for Lewis, lembikisa, Rodriguez etc

 

Exeter (h) the Tues before Brum. 5 very winnable matches. To quote an ex manager "believe"....

 

The talents in the squad.

 

I think everyone knows it's over deep down but you don't like to give up - we fall down every time at the smallest hurdle, players are going down with "injuries" because they don't want to jeopardise summer transfers, management of the squad list as we all now has been utterly laughable and coming into the crucial weeks of the season we have better players out on loan than we have in our squad - you just try and win the next game but given history and form I'd say our chances of going almost unbeaten rest of season and overtaking all the teams above us is around 5-10%

 

I'd see how we do next 4 then possibly blood the youngsters.

 

Me too. If we don't take minimum 8 points. Blood young 'uns.

 

How there all out on loan

 

0.001%

 

you're probably right I was trying to be optimistic

 

No we shouldn't be blooding youngsters when promotion is still a possibility.

If history has taught us anything, when we have blooded youngsters in the past for "next season", we don't see them next season. They disappear again.

 

Get the young uns in!
We're not good enough for the play offs.
Even if we fluked a promotion we'd probably be a laughing stock the following season.

 

This is quite true - if youngsters are good enough they should be playing regardless if you’re having to force them minutes then they’re probably not good enough - the caveat being that you trust someone at the club can see potential and don’t let them slip away to become good elsewhere - which I don’t think we’ve ever had too many do that?
