Webster is a refined, dribbling , ball playing centre back with a super pass on him but he doesn’t have Flint’s warrior like agression or goal scoring prowess. Flinty could really wind the team up to perform better during a match . We may just have missed this a little during our recent tepid spell. I wouldn’t take AF over AW now though .

Back in league one again. Johnson HAS to go. It really will test Lansdown's resolve but LJ will hang on to his job by the skin of his teeth, then from nowhere regain form right up until we face Wolves in the cup...

CotswoldRed Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 3 hours ago, City18 said: It's almost impossible that we finish this low. The worst average we have had for any 10 game spell this is 0.8 points per game which included a 4 game losing streak (Game 8 to Game 17 or Game 9 to 18) We are not playing that bad and are still picking up points at the moment. If we equal our worst form of the whole season and pick up just 8 points (which could include losing as many as 6 of our 10 remaining games) from the remaining fixtures we will still finish with 63 points which will place us above 13th (based on season averages we would still finish top half). This is assuming every team currently placed in the top half equal or better their average points tally thus far this season. Earlier in the season we went on a 4 games losing streak including loses to struggling Reading (22nd at the time) and Preston (21st at the time) and yet we then went on to draw with Norwich, Derby and beat Birmingham in the following 5 games. Teams lose to teams they shouldn't and then get results against teams they don't expect to which is the joy of the Championship. I still believe we'll tail off from here. Our performances, for me, are far worse than the way others see it. I don't think we are getting the basics of the game right. We can't retain possession, can't make simple passes and recent matches suggest we haven't got the stomach for it. I hope we snatch a playoff place but I can see us getting no more than 5 or 6 points from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we snatch a playoff place but I can see us getting no more than 5 or 6 points from here. That imho is spot on. We have to hope that the international break has given the squad a chance to re-find their spark. Our players are only good when they are at “collective full-tilt”, where the sum of the parts make us better than the opposition. One player, or in recent weeks, three or four players, not “at-it” means we cannot play and compete. Today will be a barometer of the remaining 9 games. Tuesday will show whether the break has recharged batteries, and whether midweek “top-ups” can retain the charge. I would suggest LJ needs to find a way to subtlety rotate, and I think 352/532 might be the way to ensure he doesn’t over-burden the two in midfield by supplementing Pack and Brownhill with a third player. Korey Smith, if he can return with sharpness, could be the most important player, because I think LJ would trust leaving out either MP or JB, if Smith is there with say a Pato, O’Dowda or Walsh / Morrell in there too.

Wanderingred Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 4 wins, a draw and 3 losses is very realistic and will likely be good enough for the top six, although avoiding defeat to Derby will be a big factor in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The required points total is currently impossible to predict, because of who we (and others) still have to play. For instance, losing to Wigan would be far more “useful” than losing to Villa or Derby. It’s going to be tight..! I thought our chances had passed us by, but the last 2 results have put us bang in the mix! With the right results in the right games, 12 more points might even be enough. Drop points in the wrong games and winning the rest might not be enough. It’s impossible to call! You’ve got to love it..! COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
