The worry is that our current slump has coincided with teams at the bottom picking up form and results. Were both trends to continue for too long the worry then becomes that momentum becomes increasingly difficult to reverse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capman Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 I think it’s becoming clear that Jon thought it was a bottom 6 squad and just needed the manager to get us there. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 I think we’ll be ok but not by as many points as we should be. We ain’t hitting 59 points this season that’s for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 We should be OK. Even our current form should see us through. However if that form gets worse then thats where we have to start worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 If over the next two or three matches we all have to admit we are in a relegation battle. Then my ansew is simple, if Nigel was in charge and he said we will be ok,. I would relax and trust in him. If Liam said the same thing i would be very worried. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good manager goes to Ipswich on Tuesday and makes sure that if they beat us they have to do something special to do it. Let’s see what Powerpoint Man does. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the 5-3 win over Barnsley before that run and thought that it did not disprove the downward trend we were on. Never seen us score 5 before or since and think how bad we were in so many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do that and that’s 9 points in THIRTEEN and there is only one course of action then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Ideally we need 9 points to be safe from relegation I would think: so three wins between now and the end of the season. Its pretty unlikely then that we can't get that from 11 games left. That said, it's hardly an easy run in given the games we have and the form we are in. The fact this thread even exists though and we're discussing this prospect is a damning stain on Lansdown, Tinnion and Manning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Leicester were odds on to romp to the title a month ago but look how quickly that's changed, and that's a team with a Prem squad!. We ain't out of the woods yet the way we are playing but even I think we will just make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However can change very quickly if we have another winless week, considering we have Swansea at home next and Brum could beat Boro as their game in hand.

We need to steady things quickly. Manning has to be pragmatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
