brizzlelou Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Personally don't think we will have anything to worry about. Waaay too many worse teams and don't think we're far off a solid mid table finish. Just wanted to gauge the optimism/negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippin cider Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 No ...I reckon we'll finish 15th - 17th ish .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjam!n Ultra Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 No, because SL will publicly slaughter LJ within the month and Pemberton will save the day... Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS13 Robin Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 The problem is we are in freefall and every season a team doing this goes down but I think we will be ok.........................................................I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 No. We are currently on a shocking run which will soon come to an end. Rotherham are gone already in my eyes. There are a whole host of clubs beneath us who will also need to have a big turn in form as well as us. We should spend fairly well in this window and should finish around where we are currently.

HoldenBall Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Rotherham Wigan and Blackburn are all dire, Burton will always struggle, Forest are a basket case club and QPR will be in and around us. So yes, we are going to get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 We will not be relegated. Late surge for the play offs like under Johnson Snr many moons ago ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 87 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Our remaining home fixtures are the type of games we will win if it really came down to a dogfight, so we will be fine. I actually think we will pick up some decent points in Jan and by Feb things will feel more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityloyal473 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 No. But not getting relegated will be claimed as some kind of success and shows that Johnson is the 'man'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portchy Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Although recent results won't show we are too good to go down, at somepoint are form will change with (hopefully) some new additions to the squad and we will be moving up the table.

City fan 1982 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I think we are going down , in free fall and lee doesn't know what to do , best team not known yet , his own signings he doesn't play , people saying there are worse teams below us we're thinking the same when we went to Huddersfield who hadn't won in 5 , wolves no home win in 3 months , a dire Ipswich away , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 We won't go down but it's going to be remembered as a disappointing season after the start we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Won't say we are too good to go down but Rotherham are gone, Wigan won't win many and Blackburn are a mess. All of them can go on long winless streaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 There is so very little between many teams in this division, and small margins can make all the difference. All our current momentum is downwards and the longer that continues the greater the danger we are in. Teams below us have tended to be there from early in the season and you can usually expect an uplift in form and results from a few of them. WE desperately need to get some results soon or we will be dragged right into the relegation fight and as we will be going backwards I would be genuinely worried.

Ivorguy Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Possible that the Club has already begun to make plans for regrouping in the lower division. Certainly they will need to draw up two lists of targets for the next window in the summer,starting now. And, of course, present window's plans have now in all likelihood gone up in smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get that from? if he hasn't progressed from where we were last season in terms of position then it would be deemed a failure. Haven't seen anyone post that he would be the 'man' if he saves us from relegation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cloud Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 would love to be as positive as some but bottom of the Form league and not a single improvement I can think of, can't see any other way than down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman Block B Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Lets put it this way. If the current form continues we will be bottom 3 by the end of Feb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBibs Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Odds of 25/1 available if anyone really thinks we're going down. A £20 bet would more than pay for next year's season ticket (assuming they don't increase significantly ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very negative opinion . We are losing by small margins. No team is battering us. If we recruit well in January we will pick up enough points and stay in the division. Lee Johnson is a very intelligent manager but is going through a sticky patch. He is young and learning his trade. Hopefully this will make him stronger as a manager and then onwards and upwards.

Certainly they will need to draw up two lists of targets for the next window in the summer,starting now. I very much doubt that transfer targets are focussed on who might be good to get us back up. If LJ went to MA/SL with a second list focussed on a League One campaign in 17/18, he might as well put his head in the guillotine there and then. I don't think SL would even bother putting a bucket down, he'd volley the decapitated head straight down Marina Dolman Way :-) And, of course, present window's plans have now in all likelihood gone up in smoke I'm sure the only way two lists will be presented are if one is for the future and the other is those who will make an immediate impact. I don't suspect the lists have altered much, just might need to bring in more of the immediate impact list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I don't think we will go down as we have points in the bag. However, if we are involved in the relegation scrap and we stay up then it won't be progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Has it really come to this? Such little progress and a budget the likes of Preston, Birmingham, Barnsley, Blackburn, Burton, Ipswich, Brentford, Huddersfield, Rotherham and Wigan could only dream of. Pathetic.

City fan 1982 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 If Johnson is still learning his trade , did he not learn anything from a similar dismal run at Barnsley ? 12 odd games without a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
