Sparko Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Looking at the results since the turn of the year and Donnie has secured a massive one point more than us. The renewed application from the players in the last two games gives me confidence that we will survive. It will be close though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Think Pompey this weekend will tell us an awful lot. The result on the day won't determine whether we stay up or not, but if we go there and get easily turned over I think the writing will be on the wall. It's just that with everything that is going on with them, if their players can show more heart, determination and fight then ours I will be seriously worried. A point there wouldn't be the end of the world, as if we play like we have the last 2, then I believe we can get at least 4 points from the next two home games against Watford and Derby.

Melksham Red Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 8 days ago I would of said definitely doomed but we have looked more committed and to be fair were unlucky lose to to Cardiff. I really don't know anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REBS14 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Away games - Portsmouth 1/3 pts boro 0 pts florest 0 pts birmingham 0 pts burnley 1/3 pts can see a maximum return of 6 pts Home games - watford 1/3 pts derby 1/3 pts coventry 1/3 pts west ham 0 pts barnsley 1/3 pts can see a maximum return of 12 pts we have 34 pts so add to that a maximum of 18pts giving us 52 pts more than enough to stay up (in a perfect world) i believe we will get another 12 points from all remainding games giving us 44pts - its going to be close and will come down tot he last game - GD has shafted us so it will go to a point either way.

Dave Fawcett Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 We will stay up, we played really well at Cardiff and from my view in the Dolman stand I thought we were unluky to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenn Loyal Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Said before the season started we would be relegated, and have seen nothing since to change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Depends if we try to attack teams or not (we need 2 forwards on the pitch). Lining up for draws is no good now. If we win one and lose one (as this week) thats 3 points, better than 2 draws. If we line up too defensively with one striker, we'll go down and deservedly so.

Red_Jim Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Portsmouth and Coventry look doomed so it's 1 from us, Forest and Millwall. Have a feeling that Millwall will be the unlucky ones as their squad looks weakest. I don't think Coventry are doomed by any stretch - they're only 4 points behind us. Portsmouth will definitely go, but I have a horrible feeling Doncaster will overtake us. If I was to pick a three and say it will be Pompey, Coventry and us. I think Forest will pull clear, and it will be 2 from 3 out of us, Cov and Millwall. I worry Millwall have got a bit more about them than we have, and sadly, I think we'll go down by 2/3 points. My prediction for the bottom 6: 19 Forest 20 Doncaster 21 Millwall 22 City 23 Coventry 24 Portsmouth I really hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksred Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Because of our horrendous goal difference, which even Florist cant match, I think we're doomed, that gd is like another 3 points lost, cos its so bad, no away goals, and seem to leak goals for fun. That all says league 1, but there suddenly appears to be some fight in the team, so who knows, need to win at least six games to garantee safety, and not depend on others dropping points. Thank you Gary Johnson, Steve Coppell, and most of all Keith bloody Millen for leavin us this train wreck of a side. Even survival this season doesnt suggest it will be any different next season, cos the squad really is crap, only loanees appear to be adding summat to the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We appear to also have 2 in form strikers! When was the last time we could say that and who else at the bottom can boast that? After the last 2 games I'm hopeful. If we do stay up by the skin of our teeth then some quality needs to come into the team in the Summer. We can't pee about with another Carey contract extension and a few more lower league wingers, that just won't wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 It looks like it's going to go down to the last few games. Pompey on Saturday is huge. They will be fighting for their lives - it's a MUST win game for them. Lose it and they're all but down. I hope our players are up for a right scrap down there, I have a bad feeling we're going to get turned over... That said, I don't think there's any reason to hit the panic button just yet. The next two games (Pompey and Watford) are winnable and we have to remain confident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just to add, our next two home games are against teams who are both mid table and effectively have nothing to play for - Watford and Derby. Neither have away records we should be particularly concerned about. No more excuses, if we don't win those two then we deserve to go down. Win them and we'd be on 40 points going into April with 6 games left to pick up the handful of points we'd need to secure survival... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Think we'll stay up. We're still not even in the bottom 3. I know our form isn't great but the way some fans are going on you'd think we were rock bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is it MIGHT be woth ONE point in effect at the end of the season, but it never has and never will make 3 points worth of difference to any team.

Dave Fawcett Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think we will stay up for definite but I think it will come down to the last week!!! We are too good to be league 1 as shown at the Cardiff game!! Some recruiting in the summer and we will be able to challenge again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly most of the teams around us seem to be getting a spurt on though. Most of the bottom six have as tough, if not tougher games than us; but a point or 3 required for sure on Sat. It maybe its what other teams do as much, if not more than what we do that will decide our fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loderingo Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I don't buy this Donny revival. Last 6 they have won 1 (against fellow strugglers Forest), drawn 3 and lost 2. That's only a point a game. Personally I think we will scrape by and stay up - probably with a chance to be safe if we can beat Barnsley - but with less than 50 points. If we can get a point a game that would take us to 44 which though unspectacular would probably be enough to survive this year. If we can't manage that we deserve the drop.

Volta Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just What wondering what everybody else is thinking. I will keep believing that we can stay up until its mathematically imposssible. However, I just have something in my gut that we will be playing League 1 football next year. Too early to say. Next 5 games are crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in our hands and we will only have ourselves to blame if we go down.....we have got a decent run in.....Watford, Pompey, Coventry, derby, Barnsley, Burnley, Forest are all games we could win...... If we can sneak 4 wins from these I fancy our chances.....but we have a paper thin squad atm so a couple of injuries and we will be in the shit again..... We need our leaders to stand up, Stead, Cisse, McManus, fontaine, adOmah, pitman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Now Del has taken his head out of the sand and will play 2 up front, we might, just might have a chance... but agree with many others that it will go to the wire. If I had to put money on it, I'd have to still go for us going down.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
