I think that's just sealed our Championship status

How many results went our way today eh?


Did not expect us to get owt today. Well done Keith and the lads.

 

And not one of the teams below us in the league have won today.

would like to think we can stick around a similar position for rest of season and have an outside interest in how the teams above us are doing, rather than looking for the results of the bottom 6

 

I had a feeling today.
But only got 7-2 at local bookies.
Better in my pocket though

 

Depends which way you look at it

Everyone below us in the table either lost or drew. Just about everyone above us won.

If we're looking down the table then a great day. If we're looking up it, not so good.

 

Re: Depends which way you look at it

Be nice to look up rather than worrying about below.
Great team performance and result Reds.
Its days like this that make you realise why we love our team so much!

 

I don't know if I agree with you that it's job done

But when you look at the table it's going to take an extraordinarily poor run for us to be relegated. We're well capable of having bad days, but we've proved we're also capable of having very good ones too. I think we'll have enough good days between now and the end of the season to hold our current position, which would be a good season. Get in the top half and it would be excellent.

5 more Wins should see us home.

 

Re: Depends which way you look at it

Strange post Jay. If you look at it in the way of going towards securing our Championship status (as per the OP) then it was a great. Staying up has always been our primary goal. Hill has seemingly developed a strategy and players to do that. It's a good day. Enjoy it. The top half is of secondary importance this season, although who knows how far we can go in coming seasons under Hill.

 

Of course I'm enjoying our victory

The post was entirely in reference to how other clubs have done.

 

I wish you would seall yor gob till we get past 50pts.......

I am leaning towards your thinking matey...but I am a bit belt and braces, will breathe easy when we get past 50 points..... and lets hope its with half a dozen games to go at least.

But today was a big ..nay HUGE 3points... well chuffed I could only see a draw at best, they also seemed good value for it too.

Hopefully the next 3 games will take us into the 40pts zone

 

We both said Hicksy at the start of the season that we thought he would do alright. :smile:

 

Its becoming an excellent season and I don't think we'll have a post Xmas collapse like in previous seasons. Looking up instead of looking down in Jan, well done Hill and Flitcroft.

 

I agree

Hilly talks one step at a time, but is thinking two or three steps in advance, he even hinted at it today saying he wanted 20 more wins. Tongue in cheek yes, but he will push these guys to the limits. Once we are safe I suspect team talk will be along the lines of "how much do you want it boys - it's now or never for you, if you really want it lets go for it".
One thing is for sure, they'll all be totally b@lloxed by the end of the season - but they might get the rewards: something incidentally, that wouldn't have happend with Robins. And I for one will applause them to the hilt for putting in the effort.
I only hope Hillcroft don't get burn out, giving your all, all of the time is extremely hard to maintain.

 

Re: I don't know if I agree with you that it's job done

Amen.

 

Excellent position to be in and it's only January. Nice and stress free for once!
