    I don't think they're as bad as people make out.
    1. Reading away. A team in freefall at present without a win in 6 home games. Go there and score first, their crowd will get on their backs and we could come away with something.
    2. Wolves home. If they beat QPR on saturday they are up. They could well arrive at Oakwell a bit like we did at Oxford that time. Big opportunity for points.
    3. Coventry away. One look at their recent results tells you that their players are on the beach.
    4. Plymouth away. Almost safe now, will be safe by the time we go there. Again nothing to play for.

    There is only one thing that can stop us getting the points we need from those games, the tw@t selecting the team.
    If we played 4 4 2 with wide players and a positive attitude in those matches I'm convinced we'd survive. But I know for a fact with this ***** in charge we won't play like that. We'll go with the usual negative tactics hence the "mindset has not changed" quote today. We'll get maybe 2/3 more points which won't keep us up. We are in this position 100% thanks to Davey and his stubborn "I will not change" attitude, together with his clueless selection and tactics.
    It beggers belief that some people still defend him.

    All sounds good, just one major problem... Simon Davey. We could play Common under 11's and he'd set the team out not to lose.

    Davey's worst quality:

    his stubborness in the face of getting it wrong

    they aren't hard in theory, just when BFC play them... any other team may well get 4/4 wins

    Re: belive me, my cups not half full

    not even a quarter full, I've already written us off as down.
    The point I was making was that with a manager at least one level above rank bad we would survive.
    No chance with this clown at the helm.

    I agree with you with fingers crossed!

    I kind of hope that:
    1. Wolves are crowned champions on Saturday and spend all next week on the razzle - or the kick-off is delayed by crowd congestion, so both teams get at least 30 minutes to know if the result matters or not
    2. Coventry start to rest almost all their best players (pun - Best is already out!) and are not that bothered and on their holidays already - trouble is: that was Watford last week also
    3. Reading have already settled for a play-off place
    4. Plymouth are already safe and have spent the week on the beach.

    You could be right, but games can suddenly turn really difficult, or comparatively easy by the changes of circumstances.

    It seems a swizz that Norwich play Ipswich on Sunday, a day after the results are in and also play Reading on Monday, again for the same reason, when it might matter hugely to Norwich, but not at all to Reading. This 'easy game' thing cuts two ways.
