Randy Marsh Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 SL stated before the season that this season the club needed a cup run for financial benefits. This means that Del's main objectives this season would have been survival and a cup run. After crashing out at home to League 2 Gillingham this is Del's only opportunity of a cup run. And frankly I can't see us beating Blackburn at Ewood Park. Therefore if we lose that's one target missed, and with us showing no sign of surviving unless we play fellow strugglers with 10 men for the rest of the year, do you feel SL would do the right thing and kick him out? If so would you take a defeat in the cup this weekend to give us a chance of survival? Personally I don't want this distraction regardless of if he stays or not. As much as I want a cup run, the time is not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciderhead01 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Personally at the beginning of the season I would have taken 21st in the league and quarter finals of a cup but now we have to concentrate on the league not the cup if we won't to survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelling out compo for Del and spending money on players will increase the debts further and with FFP it will further suck us down and we'll be left with the same dross players like I suppose.

Tbh I think with the right man in charge who can not only play the strongest team but also give them some direction I feel we can stay up. Leave it much longer though and I think it will be too many points to make up in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 With no game for a week after the Blackburn game, he needs to put out his strongest team available and look to see if we can play well for 90 minutes and not 45. Regardless of the score, if we can play well and defend better then it can only be beneficial for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Believesham Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 For financial reasons, we couldn't have got a much worse tie, unlikely to win, crowds low thanks to the venky's etc. Who knows what will happen though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 We'll probably win, and keep a clean sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
