The next 8 games...............................

[saint lard]

only if it goes our way! if not hope/straws are better than being down!

 

i have been living in hope/clutching at straws for god knows how long,just getting a tad tedious now.

Think we are going to need 6 points from our next to games to stand any chance, can't see us geting much from Watford or Wolves away.

[Topcat]

We had to win 3 games in a row just to stay in touch with the clubs above us.

 

Even after that we were still in the bottom 3.

 

That is why we are near certainties for relegation.

I fear we are most likely to achieve only 8 points, which is near our seasons average.

Let's just have a reality check for those who still can't see a problem...

I have seen people going on about Watford and Derby - FORGET THEM, they are way up the road, and the same goes for Blackpool if we fail to beat them - a point will do them a treat.

Barnsley are likely to scrape points from their two in hand so they could be out of touch, and Norwich have found form and are getting away.

So, Forest and Plymouth are the targets, if by winning at Blackpool we involve more then great, but can people stop getting excited when teams seven points above us draw?!

And as for us settling for draws at there next three, forget it

 

WE MUST WIN if we are to mount a serious escape bid.

Forget the blinkered ''oooh, we are still mathematically capable of surviving, we just have to miraculously produce the best run of form since 1894'' etc.

 

GET REAL, the table doesn't lie, we are down there because we are that poor and things must change.

 

Forest or Us Rally? 50/50 I reckon

 

Saint till I die!

flippin hope it is us, but in an ideal world my plan A would be to secure a four point cushion before going to the City Ground!

 

Hopefully Wotte has thought of that too....

Next 2 games are hugely winnable. The situation would look a lot better with 2 wins.

 

IMO, if we don't win those 2, we're down. So it all comes down to Blackpool. I fully believe if we win there, we'll have the confidence to come back and beat Charlton.

 

Blackpool will only beat us if we put in a poor performance. Don't mean to be harsh, but they were appalling when they beat us last time, it's just we were worse. They've been poor all season too. If we play to our ability and match their commitment, we'll beat them.

 

Yep I am with you on this one. The next two are incredibly important. A win at Blackpool could well see us out of the relegation zone and a win at Charlton could actually see us with a tiny amount of breathing space given who Norwich, Notts Forest, Barnsley and Blackpool have to play...we HAVE to win though. It's imperative.

 

Equally we never ******* win at Watford even with the news that Rasiak is out.
