Because It's Still A Possibility......... and if it happens heads will roll at the club. Starting with the manager.
This all because of 1 result........ last week it was playoffs this week relegation and manager should be sacked
Whoa there im on about dreamboy, it just seems one win were best thing since slice bread one loss its all doom and gloom
I've not said we are the best thing since sliced bread after a win. I just think people are getting ahead of themselves. We need to make sure we reach 50 points first and see where we are at that point.
9 wins in 27 matches is more relevant as is 13 defeats in the sme 27 matches, and if Cryne allows Simple Simon to sign anymore players you have to start questionong his judgement as well.
EXACTLY!! Only happened to one team in the last 10 seasons-and that was on GD we would have to be unluckier than the unluckiest Professor of Unluckiness at Baldrick University !!
RE: EXACTLY!! Only happened to one team in the last 10 seasons-and that was on GD "we would have to be unluckier than the unluckiest Professor of Unluckiness at Baldrick University !!" Or just ***** for the second half of the season again. After 27 matches last season we had 34 points ie 2 more than we have now and we had a good go at getting relegated Fortunately we havent got the cup to distract us this season if you believe that really was the reason
Having assessed the remaining fixtures, I fear that we will struggle to get to 50 points without an influx of successful new personnel and an injury free second half of the season.
Really? I think we should be pissing 50 points to be honest. Starting this Saturday against a relegation threatened side below us.

So we owe them more than one. Should be looking for three points on Saturday for sure. If we are to do well in this league we have to be beating teams like Norwich. Plus we can't afford to let them catch us up like we let Southampton do.
"If we are to do well in this league..." I don't know if you've seen the league table, but we're not doing well in this league. I'll be very surprised indeed if we beat Norwich at their place.
RE: a team.................. We have managed to get something more often that not though. I reckon we can do the same on Saturday. I will take a draw. Any away points will do.
