samo II Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hopefully Fulham can be a turning point, and we can both put in a good performance and get a significant result. Newcastle away is a 'free hit' of sorts (still won't stop me singing myself mute, mind you...), so anything there would be beyond expeditions, but think the Villa game could well be the first of a run of utterly key games in our season. They say "may you live in interesting times" is a curse; Anyone check whether the Bristol Sport coach ran over a witch sometime in November?

I've seen all those relegations, and this season is significantly different. First of all, we have a better squad than in any of our previous relegation seasons. Secondly, no one has given us a hiding. Third, we have played some lovely football at times. Don't kid yourself (or others) that this is run of the mill. Far from it. This a strange season where a team which has the potential to do very well is struggling to make it click. I can't think of another season like it, and I suspect I've been around as long as you.

I'd agree to a point in that this seasons has all the hallmarks you'd associate with being relegated. It very much reminds me of the last relegation...a good start, some quality Championship players but a poor defence and a tinkerman at the helm. Edit - along with some strange formations and people being played out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike others, most notably SC in recent times, he's been given almost everything by a misguided patron and still managed to replicate what other duff managers have done.

No bonus points for getting close. 3) potential to do well ? Seriously, that ship has sailed mate. We're at the business end of the season and out of the drop zone by the skin of our teeth. Unless they start playing 14 points for a win, even then the problem is actually winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, but increasingly overdue action is required to reverse the situation. Otherwise it may soon be too late. IMO the next few games will define the season, one way or another.

Presumably if we were one place outside the playoffs, you wouldn't be excited about the prospect of promotion until we got in? The worry is the completely changing and somewhat baffling team choices & selections, the lack of pace starting games (possibly Derby away an exception), tepid displays (Rotherham home), the lack of motivation from the manager to the players etc....it's well versed on this forum, could list loads.... Biggest worry for me is if we end up in the bottom 3, the impact of that on the players...their mentality already seems incredibly fragile, anything that adds to that is to be avoided at all costs.

If we were one place outside the play offs I'd be excited about the future but not about promotion until we were in a place where promotion was a possibility, the team hasn't been changed that much, one change for the leeds game because of injury, 2 for derby I believe, people will start complaining that we make changes for Wednesday because Tammy and Little are injured.

Anyway off track here's a bet South Shields will win the F.A Vase 1/2 is available if you have the money to make it worthwhile have the punt. If not a better than even money bet is Bromsgrove sport to Beat Buckland (Western league) And South Shields to win the Vase. South Shields aim under there new owner (junior Lansdown) is to take them Conference and beyond. If Buckland (Newton Abbot) win at Bromsgrove, they have sold out 3,000 plus crowd I will be stunned.

Not sure i've seen too much to suggest that we won't be in the bottom 3 soon, more a question of 'when' rather than 'if' given our really poor run. I think we can write off Rotherham, so are there 2 worst teams than us? You'd hope so but both Wigan and Burton are showing some form - Villa & Birmingham are both having the sort of slump that we've had, Forest aren't great, QPR have had some results. Unless we can put 3 or 4 back to back wins together (like Cardiff..), then things look bleak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
