MT1970 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Reasons: Rotherham are down. Wigan are doomed looking at their run in. City have lost 3 out of last 10 games. Birmingham have lost 7 out of last 10 and Wolves and Forest have both lost 6 out of previous 10 and all three are actually in worst form than us. Given we have been sh1t recently, they are all actually getting closer to us. (Astonishingly) We play Wolves and Brum at AG. We have a better run in than them all.. on paper. We have 4 out of last 6 games at AG and 3/6 of the last games ar against two of our relegation rivals. 2 at AG. So, let's believe, be positive and work on the Johnson out once our safety is secured.

Kodjias Wrist Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 That win yesterday was massive hopefully we can build on it. Blackburn away is also massive and I plan to go to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Can't see it I'm afraid. We've just struggled to beat 2 of the poorest championship teams I've ever seen I think we need to win at least 4 more games to be safe we've won 3 since the 3rd of December.

One BCFC Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Still think we will go down, we are poor. However, if we stay up it's next season I worry about. Wigan and Rotherham as OP stated, 2 awful sides, it wont be like that next season with the sides looking to come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be wins all the way for me, I took advantage of a free £20 bet at 66/1 for us to be in the top half. Stop being so negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hope so but can't see it. Any optimism over the win this weekend could disappear on Friday. I'll be there though to cheer the lads on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'm neither happy with anything I've seen at AG as of late and have not been clapping nowt either. Quite the opposite. Just looking for some positives to cling to. Do I believe we will stay up? Put it this way, I would not place a bet on it. But the facts are there if you want to look into the state of other teams around us, so let's try and capitalise on that.

I think we will scrape it last home game of the season against Birmingham, accompanied by the chants of: "Zola out, Zola out, Zola out" Oh, and LJ gets a contract extension and Bonus for keeping us up....

reformed_red Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I've always thought that our April fixtures looked fairly kind, and I would presume that the run in would have been a massive consideration for the board as well. Easy selling points for Europa League Johnson to remind them - "But Steeeeeeve look at our last 7 or 8 games....I think we can nearly win them all." But in all seriousness, we do have a good run in so any half decent gaffer should be able to get us the points we need..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tears in rain Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Don't **** up against Blackburn, Wolves especially and get points from Birmingham game and maybe staying up seems more likely. Opposite view is screw those 3 up and that gives distance to relegation rivals and doesn't increase our tally meaning harder games e.g Brighton become must wins. Overall I think we will stay up on goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm firmly in the 'Johnson out' camp but really hope the OP is correct and we stay up. Looking at the remaining fixtures, I don't think Burton are safe, their run in is really tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 As much as I am firmly in the Johnson Out camp and in no way will even consider "getting behind the team" to prolong the agony I hope to God we stay up, because going down is unthinkable after the money that has been thrown at the squad. We should be mid table at least. One thing is for sure sales of underpants are set to sore in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I think it's a fight to avoid the last relegation place now - average points for championship survival over last 10 years is 47. So realistically I think 5 are in the mini league now on less than 47 points. Quick look at the form tables and fixtures lists and the points guessed is very unscientific and fairly conservative. Burton - 41 - predict 8 more points = 49 Forest - 40 - predict 7 more points = 47 Wolves - 39 - Predict 7 more points = 46 City - 38 - Predict 9 more points = 47 Blackburn - 38 - Predict 9 more points = 47 It's going to be very close indeed and we may well need that relatively decent goal difference.
