They hate it we let LJ go Exactly. I'm not exaggerating, but that's at least fifty thousand 'LJ Must Stay' placards due for landfill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Cardiff and derby draw or away win Millwall Blackburn draw or away win and we are right back in it. It's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a League Cup 1st Round, First Leg tie on Tuesday August 22, 2000. Petrol was in short supply due to the blockades. I recall that the forth official signalled 15 minutes injury time, that was followed by a further 8 for additional stoppages. Some wag made 'Stretcher Man', 'Man of the Match'.

ollywhyte Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 The best way of looking at it is that if we win our remaining 3 games we are guaranteed to finish above Blackburn, Preston and Swansea. We would require Derby to drop points in at least one game - they play Cardiff, Leeds and Birmingham. (Very likely) We would require Millwall to drop points in at least one game - they play Blackburn, QPR and Huddersfield. (Likely) We would require Cardiff to pick up a maximum of 5 points from their remaining fixtures - Derby, Boro and Hull. (Unlikely - but a defeat to Derby would really rattle them before they face Warnock!) It’s not as unlikely as some people think however I keep forgetting the key part... we need to win all three!

But at least we have something to play for, which we didn't expect after the Cardiff debacle. If we win on Wednesday I would expect us to be 7th.

My wife at the weekend even said “so basically you just haven’t been good enough for 3 years” and she’s technically right. However, I always felt that if the squad was good enough to deliver the results it did and get into the positions it did, then essentially all the components must have been there for the playoffs at the very least. The fact we always slid away didn’t scream of a team continually making progress, more that something wasn’t being fixed. History now. Hopefully we make better use of the opportunities in the future. You are right, we’ve had opportunities and not taken them. We’ve spent 13 games in the top 6 this season....the longest we stayed there was 4 games though. We have spent 18 games in either 6th or 7th. I think it proves we have decent players. Combination of player mentality, head-coach tinkering, who knows really. But we haven’t kicked on. I still think Tom Cairney’s 86th minute equaliser in the last game before covid might bite us on the bum ultimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
