Doncaster must be on a hell of a run.

 

Norwich could be struggling with this score and of course our game against Watford will be massive. Barsnley are another team we want to fall back down.

Looking at the table as it stands now, it's a mixed afternoon, BUT the headline news is that we are now 4 points from safety, effectively 5 due to our goal difference.

 

On top of that the club 4/5 points ahead of us (Barnsley) have a game in hand.

 

The only bright side is Norwich losing. We have a game in hand but are 4 (effectively 5 points behind them).

The other teams that were around us have started to improve. There was always that risk. We need to start a run of our own... trouble is we've got bloody hard teams coming up. Still, it went down to the last day last season. This could be the same!

Yes its looking really bad if we dont win at Bristol city we could be 7 points from safety.

I've decide to (mostly) not bother too much about what other teams are doing until our lot start improving. If Saints can't claim 3 points in anything other than the odd game here and there it doesn't really matter too much how those above us are getting on.

 

Basically I think that means I've just lost all hope.

We need at least three wins and three draws to stay up IMO, very achievable ( I tell myself)...

 

 

12 more points will keep us up :confused:

Looking at the 8 game current form table, then Barnsley and Watford are only slightly ahead of us. Derby were also just above us, but todays result pulls them away.

 

Interestingly Plymouth, who got spanked by Derby are below us, but perhaps their 7/8 points advantage is too great to overhaul.

 

Could be perhaps any 2 from Saints, Watford, Barnsley and Norwich (But Donny, Derby & Forest not out of the woods).

 

Problem for us though, is that we need to get on a run!!!!!!

Pretty bad results for us. We fall a further point behind with some teams still having a game in hand to play. We need 5 points now just to get out of the zone.

Because of the Watford game being called off will mean we play Bristol away then 2 more home games, meaning by that point 4 of our last 5 games will have been at home.

With these results we have to be honest and say it is now out of Barnsley,Norwich,Watford,Us and Charlton for the 3 relegation spots.

Sorry Jonny, but if you think 12 points will keep us up, then you will hve a shock. 22 points will get us to 50. Last season Leicester got 52 points and went down. I think 50 will be enough this season, but 22 points from 15 games given our form so far is a stretch goal I'm afraid.

Effectively two wins and we have to overhaul two teams.

 

 

Next week :

 

Bristol City v Saints

 

Watford v Swansea (midweek)

 

Sheff Utd v Barnsley

 

Preston v Norwich

 

 

Out of that, being honest maybe Watford could get something. This will go to the wire!!!!!!!!!!!

imo we need 20 points from 15 games.....cant see it tbh,as i said on another thread we are averaging 0.9 points per which gives us 14 points from 15 games.we will go down unless we can improve on the 0.9 points per game but it will take a drastic turnaround for that to happen and i cannot for the life of me see how or when that will happen with the current setup.sorry to dissapoint you all:-(.

The problem is though mate if we lose say the next game or draw and the others win will mean we will go to needing 7 or 8 points to get out etc.. We are on the critical line i think now. I just can't help looking back at that run when we lost 5 of 6 games and stayed 1 point above the relagation zone when all the results were on our side with everyone else losing too. I can't help but think our chance was then to pull away and we blew it.

As each week goes by and we still need 5 points to get out of the drop zone, then so it starts to become an impossible proposition.

 

We now have to outperform two teams by something like 5 points over the next 15 games. Unless we reduce that deficit PDQ, then we will be left up sht creek.

We are well up that creek, but our only saving grace is that there are probably 4 other teams up there with us.

 

I wonder which two will find their paddle????

Optimistic I am afraid to think it will go to the wire

We are fooked, well and truly. I just can't see for the life of me Saints getting out of this. We are down unless some serious wheeling and dealing in the loan market is done and I can't see that happening as that is just admission that the Dutch folly has failed.
