Anyone else keep reading/hearing 'Megan Fox' every time they mention "Morgan Fox"?

He's saying Morgan...?! Oh buggar. I'd better stop doing what I'm doing.....!

Although, we are winning, so I might just carry on....!

Bristol city winning, could this be the end of the Church of Sean O'Driscoll?

If we won too often, just think how empty your Saturday afternoons would be, without posting your deep, insightful, valuable critique of our performances....!

As I understand the rules you have to add the injury time on in the half it is due. If he adds it on at the end of the match he should not be refereeing in the professional game.

He played about the right amount at the end of first half.

Still not kicked off 2nd half yet.

Cuningham seems to have toughened up a bit under Cotts, got two players stretchered off so far

Cotts suggested that we might be seeing that happen at FP. He has clearly been told in no uncertain terms...!

When did we last have a penalty?

About 12 mins ago.

who won the penalty?

Sounded like Flint.

Baldock misses another bloody..... Oh hang on..!

Yessss!

All over them ATM.

Make it count boys..!

You know what i mean. 2 hours in the pub working its wsy through...

Ah sorry. I thought after 645 appearances, people might know his name.

Lewis streets ahead of eveyone.

Who..?

Quite like the look of that.

Fingers crossed...!

You old cynic, you The Gas seem to do it perfectly adequately, mind. Smaller masses, though...

Hardly a mass, more like a gathering.

but one of the best players in the league, so you have to keep him on

Whoooosh!

Ahem,

I believe the way this normally goes is that someone calls for JET to be subbed...

Anyone care to oblige?

Get JET off. Lazy useless lump.

Tranmere: Mooney, Holmes, Taylor, McNulty, Ridehalgh, Baggie, Atkinson, Power, Koumas, Kirby, Lowe

Koumas is still playing..?! Blimey. He must be about 74 now..?!

The latest on the AG redevelopment is that it is due to be heard by the Council planning committee on 27th November.

 

The Bristol Post is a joke.

Name 3 teams we're better than

Obviously it's just a hunch. It's certainly not going to be easy!

I think we can finish above Peterborough and Barnsley and then I think that there are several others who are potentialy in trouble including weds, brum, wolves, Ipswich, Huddersfield, charlton maybe.

With our home fixtures, I'm just saying that its doable and unlike many, I'm not throwing in the towel just yet.

6 points adrift.. 14 games to go.

I actually fancy our chances from that position. COYR!!

The original stats are as they are and not an attempt, in any way, to shine a certain better light with Del than Millen. if you want to lump the entire season together and forget about the manager for a minute then we are currently on exactly 1 pt per game. At a cursory glance most people who have responded to my thread seem to think 46 points will be sufficient.

My view is that it will not. Will we get more? Yes. So I think we will survive and we can thank Millen for 6pts of that if you like.

Looking at it in that way, you are right. We do not need anything to dramatic really to ensure safety, but of course we do still have work to do.

Certainly, the sooner we can get the points on the board, the sooner we can all relax and beging to rebuild for next season - in which mid table needs to be our realistic target.

If we are unable to secure an average of 1 point per game between now and the end of the season, then we will deserve to be relegated and it will have been a dreadfull season.

Just as important as getting that 1 point per game total, will be to make sure we do not lose the "6 pointers" against the likes of Forest, Coventry - otherwise that final total needed to be safe could end up being higher than the 45/46 that it looks like should be the case at the current time.

Just taking a more detailed look at the NPC league table - it is hard to believe just how woeful Forests home record is this season, especially after being best part of unbeaten at home for about 2 seasons, prior to this season.

Agreed.

But our stats are only part of the equation, other teams are performing worse and some have a definite downward trend. That can all change with a couple of wins of course, but after all these games I doubt we can expect any team at the bottom (indluding us) to put together a sustained winning run now.

In fairness, of all the teams in and around the bottom of the table, there ARE usually 1 or 2 that DO put together a decent run of form at some stage. Sometimes that can come too late, ala Sheff Utd, but I would almost certainly expect that over the last 10 games or so there will be at least 1 or 2 of the bottom 6 sides that dramatically improve their points per game ratio over that period, just as there are often other teams that get dragged into it by hitting a bad run of form.

It will certainly be interesting. Oh to have a little run of results now and settle for a boring end to the season!

coventry are starting to pick up a bit of form

They have won once in their last 4 games, losing the other 3 and only won 2 of their last 8, losing the other 6.

Hardly picking up a bit of form! Good result last night though, in fairness.

Agree with Bar BS3.

Looking at the table in years gone by, the bottom 3 usually have more points than they do this season - at this stage of the season

My prediction is that we will need about 46 points to stay up - but I reckon we'll get about 52.

So my prediction is that we'll stay up relatively comfortably - this is not taking into account that Pompey are likely to lose 10 points

If there is any consistency to be shown, then Portsmouth should be deducted more than 10 points, with it being their 2nd administration, as those were the standards set when the same happened to Luton & Rotherham.

If they get away with 10 points on the basis that one administration was whilst in the prem, that would be a ****ing disgrace!

I would think that 50 will be more than enough.

I would expect 45 points to be enough to stay up this season, but it would be nice to get the extra 5, just to be on the safe side!
