Lanterne Rouge Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 1-0 to Stoke after 25 minutes. Let`s hope it stays that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Was just looking at the Stoke squad and imagine that a couple may have to go either perm or loan. Now I am not in the we need a new forward camp, but if the club were, I would be looking at someone like Sam Surridge at Stoke. Just looking back through and only getting a few minutes here and there. They bought it from Bournemouth for £5m. He is on the bench today along with fellow forwards Steven Fletcher and highly rated Tyres Campbell. So they have plenty of options so can't see Surridge getting much game time there.

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Sky just put that graphic up saying we`ve lost 21 points from winning positions this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an awful lot of centre halves, which is the position we need most imo. Not that I expect us to sign anybody unless somebody significant leaves.

Haha. It's because we're not a particularly good team. Shame about the Hull result. Need Cardiff, P'boro and Hull to get points somewhere in order to ensure Derby go down.

Alex_BCFC Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 This kind of result just proves we’ve got pretty much nothing to worry about in regards to relegation. Signs of improvement and 11 points clear. Beat Cardiff are we won’t be too far away from safety as I reckon 42 points max. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next 4 or 5 fixtures pretty crucial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had nine more points but then we literally threw in the towel due to ridiculous management by Steve’s favourite CEO.

Not safe until mathematically so. I don’t think we’ll see anything like the towel throwing that we saw last season. 20 games left and if we win five and draw five (which is worse than our current ratio of wins and draws to losses) we will be plenty of points in safety imo.

The only worry I have in regards to towel throwing is I suspect Martin and O’Dowda’s year extension needs to be triggered in January, possibly even by end of December because of pre-contract rules. But that’s only two players to worry about, not 10-12 like last season. Simpson has a year option but that surely won’t be triggered. If either has entered into negotiations we will soon find out I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I've tried to get across in a few conversations. Until we are actually safe, we aren't safe. All those should win games, that we don't actually win ? Lets no start counting Chickens just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
