AppyDAZE Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think we'll finish around 10-12 and @Robbored will come on here and admit I was right and him wrong in December. Sad but true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I don’t think we can worry too much what others are doing, although of course it it hard to resist checking. But if we can’t do it ourselves, where we should be looking to win most games at home and pick up at least a point away on average, then we don’t deserve to be in the mix. We can’t have the attitude that we hope a point in our next game will be acceptable as we hope Team X will lose. We need to find some form and upward momentum, we will get what we deserve this season. I don’t think we have got enough in the tank to make the playoffs personally, but if we do we really got to be on our game as there is no room for any error is there.

WhistleHappy Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Gotta make the best of our 'games in hand' gonna be tough but it's in our own hands (no pun intended) and if we perform like we know we can, we can certainly do it.... equally if we perform like we sadly know we can we can forget it.

Bristol Oil Services Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 As well as we have done - selling three players and all that - we're below Preston again (I believe they have sold some players too). No offence, Preston (and so, here is something offensive to Preston), but if we are below Preston, there's things we could be doing better.

ashton_fan Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Our form has been streaky all season, the break has come at a good time we're due to start another good run of form. My only worry is the goalkeeping situation, if we let soft goals in then we're done for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 It’s all about how long this streak lasts - 2 more games and I think we are done for. If LJ can finally turn it around quickly then we could well be in the POs. Cant see it myself but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately Boro are also having a major wobble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 We do have 2 games in hand on most, but I accept, on current form, and with no proper senior keeper top six looks extremely difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true I predicted 10th at beginning of season after loss of Bryan, Flint and Reid. Don't think I will be far off the mark to be honest as we have not got a settled team as we did in AD's era which fought us out of the old Division Two. Too many loanees and not enough concentration on getting a settled and positive team, week in and week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 One positive really is that Middlesbrough have been well and truly dragged back into it so its not just fighting over 1 place, having said that something drastic is going to have to happen with our form for it to matter.

Wrongagain Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Unlikely, but if we win both our in hand games 5th is achievable, perhaps we should send LJ Pato off to love island to give ourselves a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Its all in our hands. We have to have a good run If we should be top six. At the moment our way of playing give us not big hope but the rest will do the team good. One point in Sheffield and then a win vs Boro, voilà, things look better.

Pippintogg Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Pretty much convinced that we will finish lower than we did last season. Given the fixtures and current form we will struggle to pick up many points. Not going to waste time with the reasons we all know what they are. Have we made progress on last season? No. Prepare for more chopping and changing in the summer and blinkered optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WECANDO Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Has to provide Diedhiou with a partner. I’d put Semenyo alongside at home where we need to go at the opposition but Paterson away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bch Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 YStill a way to go. The way we play I’d be more worried if we were the team sitting in fifth (top four out of reach). We never seem to play well when we are looking over our shoulder. Make us the underdog with teams in front of us... that’s when we start performing. Hope the boys can look at the table and see the self proclaimed big boys ahead of us get the same dogged mentality and good performances we put together on our run. Performances against Sheffield u and boro will show if I’m right... but then the hard work is to not stop peddling and coast into the Wigan game. Exciting times... and despite comments above lj, pato, Famara will all have big roles to play.. so let’s get behind them COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now that you were proved wrong about finishing in a lower position with fewer points, you're shifting the goalposts in order to continue to be terminally miserable about everything connected with the club.

January 2018- Our reasons for lack of investment very well documented. Should we invest and invest well this summer- as well as holding onto key assets from hereon in? Absolutely! I'm still dismayed about Kelly sale but if it is reinvested and reinvested well- i.e. yes a big signing but also good quality loans and frees which will cost on wages but not fees as opposed to several big fee signings just because we can and it looks good- then it could help us.
