Why are people worrying about things that are out of our control? This is more what I was getting at, of course Johnson should be out for our performances, but people getting angry and a bit hysterical about things out of our control is a bit silly.

So 4 wins from 8 realistically... A highly improbable turn around in form. How do you know we'll need 4 wins from 9? We are 1 point behind Blackburn with a superior goal difference and we still have to go there. As far as I see it, we just need to get one more point than them over the next 9 games by whatever means we can (assuming Wigan stay below us). I am no fan of Johnson, and he should have gone ages ago, but we do have 5 points from our last 3 games. We are not losing every week quite like we were. There will be plenty of twists and turns to come in the next 9 games and I don't understand why people want to put artificial targets on the number of points or wins we will need. It depends entirely on how our rivals do - indeed, Blackburn also have to travel to Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 It's us or Blackburn, really that simple. It could go anyway. Burton will be fine, Warburton will keep Forest up, and Wolves have got too much talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton well league positions do not lie, scarily Huddersfield Friday, well they are in amazing form, even better than Brighton. Going to be a lot of 6 pointers, so I guess it's going to be who blinks first amongst us bottom 6, and hope that everyone descends on them like piranha.

There are 27 points to play for and four teams within 4 points of us, two of whom we have to play. As for "too much talent", the table doesn't lie. We also have enough talent to not be here and no one's saying that about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityCiderEd Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 We've taken 10 points from the last 27 available and if we replicate it I don't think it will be enough but................if we somehow turn the formbook upside down we've got a fighting chance.

If you can point me to where I said in my post that I "know" we'll need 4 wins from 9 then I might do you the dignity of a proper response. It is simply my current thought that anything less than 50 pts and we'll be lucky to stay up. 3 wins and a draw or 2 may also do it but wouldn't be wholly confident.

Hampshire reds Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Huge thank you to Steve for his backing of the football club. But sorry to say he has let the fans down this year. To let this man carry on being in charge with the club in free fall is a disgrace. The Johnson family should be miles away from ashton gate. I am just waiting for Pete Johnson to be given the chief scout position. I disagree when people say it's to late to change 9 games left is still time for a new man to have a positive reaction on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityloyal473 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 The "I wont allow it to happen" line was foolhardy. He can have no influence on whether we go down or not. SL should know better - he really should. That line is up there with the "trust me on Tinnion" BS and he should have learnt from that. He hasn't/didn't. And there are many things he has failed to learn from and hasn't, which is why we find ourselves in this predicament. Nice guy, hearts in the right place, but he has terrible judgment when it comes to football. We will never go anywhere with him at the helm despite his billions. As much as LJ is the footballing on the pitch problem, SL is the club problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These end of season scraps never go to form book or indeed even take account of "talent" on paper. I am still hopeful that two of these at least will be below us (Rotherham is a given !). As bad as things have been we have actually have gained 11 points from the last 10 games, which included Newcastle, Villa, Leeds and Derby all away and the leagues "form" team Fulham at home. It is possible that we could sit 19th at 5pm Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just reckoning we need 50 points because of the form of the teams around us. Blackburn are 6 unbeaten since they changed manager, Burton are regularly picking up points and are 1 win ahead of us already, Wolves have just won 2 in a row and have a game in hand, Forest have just appointed a new manager with the optimism that often brings.... Yes there has been a small improvement in our form but most of the other teams down there are in as good or better form as we are. I therefore reckon 12 points is what we need. The way we've performed in the last 5 months, that's a tall order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
