the difficulty of staying up this season

I have looked at all seasons since it became 3 points for a win where we played 46 games.</p>

We have only once achieved a better % of our final total in our last 19 games than we need this season to get the safety of 53 points</p>

You can stop all this Paul

We're down. End of story.

 

RE: You can stop all this Paul

not necessarily-but likely I fear

 

RE: You can stop all this Paul

No we are. There's too much to do. The new players brought in during January will take time to gel, and imho the new manager hasn't got the necessary managerial qualities to make it happen.</p>

RE: You can stop all this Paul

In the only season we did it 1993-4 there was a sea change-we didn't draw a single League game in the last 19-possibly just went gung ho for wins home and away</p>

RE: You can stop all this Paul

gotta agree , we look doomed , doomed i say !! you never know and something may happen to shock us all...

 

in the back of your mind

you're not at all 100% sure we're down, even though you're adamant about it in writing.

 

Re: the difficulty of staying up this season nt

 

RE: You can stop all this Paul

We seem to think that we can turn the season on its head with a novice manager and loanees. </p>

I hope they're right and I'm wrong, but I'm preparing for 5/6 years scratting about in League 1 on crowds of 5,000. </p>

 

RE: in the back of your mind

I hope against hope we'll stop up. Just accepted that we won't.

 

not looking healthy but am trying to look on bright side

Trouble is if we didn't go down who else would
Hull have started winning / Leeds look in trouble / Southend ?? / maybe somebody like Coventry . QPR / LUTON maybe they'll get out of it

 

if we can emulate the Fowls

we may stop up</p>

last season after 27 games</p>

i've changed my mind about 8 times this season

and i'm sure that number will increase a fair bit.

RE: i've changed my mind about 8 times this season

I always assumed it'd be a struggle, just didn't anticiapate so much mismanagement at all levels.

 

did you go on saturday?

the second half was like Japanese water torture, except at the end you got rescued by the female cast of Hollyoaks naked.

 

Mmm.

This here "Japanese Water Torture" ... can any water, such as Yorkshire water, be used?
Or is it just the Japanese variety? And if so - what qualities does Japanese water have that makes it good for torturing people?

Oh ... and below is the reason Jay is so nervous:

my comfort is looking at teh dross around us, few of them will win many games over the coming months, therefore it will onyl take a little to stand on their shoulders. im hoping.

 

RE: did you go on saturday?

No, worked til lunchtime. But seen enough in Davey's home games to not get my hopes up too much.

 

I think the slim hope we do have is similar to the season we got promoted to the prem

5 new players all making there debut....

all gelled imediately and we won 5 in first 5.



We can dream!
