And Its Smith

Pring and Dickie ducked it up. McKenna changed the game with four subs 

Players centra only playing for Manning. Or sky sports

Mehmeti!!!

Effort - Yes

One decent cross.

But what is he - He’s been here a year and I can’t still work it out.

Wisdom!

I would expect McKenna to come up with a solution and then it’s up to us to nullify a new problem 

They won’t be as bad as this second half

Cornick has been good. Mehmeti shite

Eh?  Off the ball he has been excellent and on the ball he’s been tidy. Certainly not been shite 

Jason Knights first touch is consistently not good enough 

The scapegoats Cornick and Mehmeti started well. 

Fourth best defence in the league is a remarkable stat really 

No Matty James appearance for him to get himself a new contract then! 

Ipswich’s manager shows a good manager can produce better than the sum of its parts. Not many expected Ipswich to be top 6

Would I want the team I support to lose 7-0? No thanks

Very improbable?

Don't kid yourself, keep losing and we will be well and truly in the scrap to stay up. And those that have been in the bottom four or five all season will be well aware of how to fight for points. Whereas we've been comfortable in mid table all the season.

If you take the emotion out of it, it is very improbable

They won’t sack him, even if we go down. 

Course they will.

Pretty sure the gas were just as complacent when they ended up tumbling out the league. Our league form is awful and a few of those below have picked up results. Whilst it may seem unlikely, it can’t be ruled out.  

If we got 8 points from the last 11 games like they did we would finish on 52 points which would be safety. So we’d need a worse run than them.  Also a crucial difference is they didn’t have 9 teams between them and relegation with 11 games to go.

What was the odds on us getting a playoff spot?

250/1

We are six points above the relegation zone 23rd out of 24 on current form and plummeting!

 

Last 5 games we are 13th. 
 

6 points yes but lots of teams.  Do you not accept that 6 points where we are and 6 points if we were 21st are completely different?

My comment isn’t directed at Manning , we’re in the shit by the doing of those at the top of this club. Should we even be discussing the prospect of relegation absolutely not. Clearly you believe we won’t get drawn into a battle of survival , so simple question where do we pick up the points required? 

This is the championship and anything can happen. There’s no point in guessing results. So many times on here over the years posts of “i don’t know where the next win is coming from” have been followed up by a win.

I’ve never understood the mantra of he needs x from the next game(s).  That’s just an unnecessary noose put round someone’s neck.  But that’s just me.

For me I’m happy to give someone time until I’m not.  And I hit that point yesterday.

That’s a bizarre scenario and more bizarre way of making it a binary answer!

Drinking on a Sunday is never a wise move 

My point is we have a situation now where people are saying we are in a relegation battle when we aren’t in order use it against a manager they don’t like. If we then employed another manager and we didn’t go down, it stands to reason they would say that the manager saved us from relegation. Except if that was ANOTHER manager they didn’t like who did it!  
 

By all means criticise Manning but faux relegation battles are ridiculous

!50 to one against NOT 150 to one on !

I didn’t say it was 150/1 on to go down. I said it was 150/1 on paddy power 

For those who don’t know. 150/1 on paddy power. Shows how unlikely it is but still worth a tenner!

The storm that has come out of it is ******* mental. Modern day PL is an embarrassment. 
 

Theres a good what, 2/3 minutes between that and Liverpool scoring? During which, forest have 2 decent chances to clear their lines before conceding, which must be Liverpool’s fault too.  It’s certainly not the recent they lost the game. Lots of fans at the game saying the same thing happened for Forest in the first half.

 

Their fat oath of an owner coming onto the pitch at ft was embarrassing beyond belief.  

Couldn’t agree more

If Lee Johnson is as appointed till the end of the season and we didn’t go down, I assume that those who believe we are in a relegation battle would credit him with saving our season!

What’s that got to do with Fevs post 

It links to the Pearson fanboys that he talked about.  I don’t think there are fanboys so to speak but some could be accused of inconsistent criticism
