Derby have won 1 of their last 10, Rotherham bless them, have to play about every 3 days but some maniacs on here still think we will go down, even though 2 other sides can’t catch us no matter what.

Leicester City winning the Prem at 5000/1 spooked them badly. I'm not a gambler but £200 against a life changing amount would have been worth.

sglosbcfc Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 When we win our first game of next season under Pearson with our new look team and the forum start talking about going the whole season unbeaten I'm going to fish this thread out . If a week's a long time in politics, 4 months is an enormous amount of time in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have just been £200 light, City were never going down. Even with 14 first team players injured and 13 players out of contract we have only lost one of the last three league matches and that was to a last minute penalty.

Personally think its between Rotherham, Wednesday and Derby who goes down... Derby play Weds at home on the last day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily my financial position is such that I can say that £200 is quite affordable. I've always been interested in the probability/stats side of Maths. Sadly it turned out that I wasn't much good at pure and applied maths and scraped a D at A Level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North London Red Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 39 points from our last 39 games doesn't bode well for next season. It's just as well we started this season so well with four wins on the spin, otherwise we could have been in for a very tense end to the season.

MC RISK77 Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Won’t happen this season but I wouldn’t bank against it next season. Long and slow steady declines are hard to turnaround, if anyone thinks Pearson confirmed as manager and a summer rebuild is going to address the rot that has been setting in this club for the last 3.5 years then they will be in for a surprise.

I’m not sure anyone thinks we will go down. The point some are making is that we still could. I don’t think anyone, us included, expected the gas to spend just 20 minutes (but the last 20 minutes) of that glorious season in the bottom two of lge 2!

If someone offered me those odds on City to get relegated and I thought it was "on" and they allowed me to stick a tenner on it I would put the chance of potentially securing the future of my family before Steve Lansdown's FC every single day of the week.

CotswoldRed Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Best case scenario - we stay up, we get our injured troops back and they stay back. NP then has some actual talent to work with and supplement with astute signings. It could be far better than we fear, if all goes to plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Yaga Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Who remembers another Bristol club after playing a game away at Wycombe thinking there was no way they would get relegated. But in all seriousness Rotherham have blown their chance of staying up already, we are safe this year but the teams coming up next season I think will be stronger which will present a new challenge if we don't invest in the squad well.

Keep the Faith Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 All this talk about the championship being a super competitive and exciting league but with 3 games to go promotion is done, playoffs are done, 2 of the relegation spots are likely to have been taken and the only thing left if who goes down out of Derby and Rotherham!
