    probably need 4/6 points to stay up i reckon. Therefore, I think we're safe.

    But we will break even or make a profit. Not traditionally what excites fans but it's what we need to do.

    I know its unlikely, but I've got to be honest I'm getting worried. But then again I'm a worrier.

    I think we'll be OK

    I'll be shocked if we're relegated.

    The concern for me is next season, which we'll start without Vaz Te and Drinkwater and probably Butterfield. And it seems to me we're filling the squad with players who will struggle to make any impression on this league.

    We probably need another 4 or 5 points to definitely be safe. We need them sooner rather than later though and I really don't see where they're coming from. My main concern is next season. We are desperately short of quality and with the player budget we have Hill needs to work a miracle to make us competetive.
    Ill be stumping up the cash for 2 season tickets before April 30th but will probably be regretting it by the middle of July!

    We will stay up, but don't worry i'm sure that despite our terrible form recently and the loss of key players the club will do all their can with season ticket news to entice people back :)

    Like a league 1 side that's won promotion and then suffer the second season syndrome? I always look at league 1 clubs that may come up and you always have a Peterborough or Scunny that you are confident of finishing above, next year all the league 1 play off hopefuls could finish above us. Heres hoping we are proved wrong again.

    We'll be fine, too many points in the bag already. I think we'll only need another four or five points to put it beyond doubt.

    not about being safe should be more about putting bums on seats for next season,causes for optimsm playing for more fans in OAkWELL NEXT season.
    winning mentality to go into next season brings in more fans ...lets have a shock big WIN AGAINST A TOP SIDE,create some publicity to draw attension to BaRNSLEY FC CARROT AND STICK COMES TO MIND tonge and cotterel to show what they can do come into a bit of form with Nouble could be the ones who create interest,,,,finish season on a high,we just need it more than ever this season.
