Rudolf Hucker Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Blackburn may well be a strong candidate for relegation. Their continued involvement in the FA Cup means that they still have 18 games left to play - 10 of which are at home where they've only won three times this season. Their home record this season is only better than one other team - Charlton ... on goal difference. They've Fulham at home on Tuesday and will perhaps have one eye on Sunday's tie with West Ham? I think that I'll be hoping for a Fulham win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Would probably take a draw between Blackburn and Fulham, keeps them both in touch, and also stops Fluham gaining too much confidence from Saturday's win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they afford to sack another boss? It's not long since they were under an embargo so I would guess paying Lambert off could push them over the edge again.

Teams that drop points because of goals in the 7th minute of added time are not relegation fodder. It's the ones that get consistently stuffed that take the drop. Much like Leicester last year though the results were not going to plan the performances were generally good. In most instances of that it turns around.

cidered abroad Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Most teams at the bottom will get a better points per game average from now on as the stark realisation arrives that relegation is coming and for players that means either a 50% drop in wages or being out of work. The worst case scenario is that the bottom three continue at their season to date points/game which would mean that the number needed to stay up would be around 40. However being realistic at least one of them will do better than that so we will probably need around 46 to 48 to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before last night I would much rather Lambert in charge than Jelavacic or whatever his name is at Fulham. The Cottagers are in an even bigger mess than B'burn and remember they have that embargo. If one of the bottom 3 pulls out my money would be on them to fall through the trap door.

HoldenBall Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Can someone please explain to me how Fulham are so shite, McCormack and Dembele up front, Tom Cairney in midfield, Richard Stearman at the back. All players who can arguably play in the premier league.. Bizzare. Plus they have a manager who on his CV has a promotion to his name.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'll have a go Iron:- a bunch of players brought into the club by a series of different managers who have come and gone in very quick fashion. The manager changes are destabilising enough but add in different playing styles and philosophies not to mention the mis fit characters and a transfer ban and you have a disaster just waiting to happen. Oh and the current boss speaks poor English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 After their 1-5 home defeat in the FA Cup v WHam today, they have to pick themselves up before play Derby (a) on Wednesday followed by MKD (h) Middlesbrough (h) then Burnley (a). It's going to be a very tough run in for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
