Looking at the table, i fear we becoming adrift from the clubs above us. If we include Birmingham (having played a game more), i think it's three from the current bottom 7. I know people will say that you only need to go on a run of 3 or 4 wins to drag yourself out (and i'm sure one team alongside us will do this) but we're already beginning to be cast adrift and we're already 8 points from a modest 15th. Which 3 sides are worse than us? You might say Rotherham but win their two games in hand (a big ask) and they go above us.OK, let's assume it's Wycombe and Rotherham, who's the next worst team? Derby/Wednesday/Forest are all capable of climbing up the table - i do think it'll be one of those or Birmingham/ourselves. If that were a mini league, i'm not sure how much i'd fancy our chances. All very negative i know - and i apologise for that - but i'm fearful that without any goalscorers in our team, we're going to struggle for the rest of the season. Let's hope we can keep our players and buy a couple during this transfer window or else we could be doomed!!
I think teams can go on a run and drop right into a relegation battle too, half the season to go, more for some. Wall, Cov certainly could, possibly Cardiff and Luton as well.
I'm not sure why but on oddschecker we're currently 200:1 for.the drop. Obviously that can change rapidly but the bookies are not often THAT wrong!
Birmingham are in free fall. Millwall are about our level. Rotherham don't look good..Sheff We'd are up and down. I expect Derby and Forest to get out of it... There are other teams that maybe have shot their bolt...Luton and Huddersfield. Everything to fight for...and the transfer window for our depleted squad night just really help us this time. Just stay up in this awful season pleaee
Season isn't over yet It was always going to be nigh on impossible to progress this season. That said the current decline and lack of goals isn't good.
True that, I wish l was as confident about our team surviving as l think that Derby & Forrest will survive. Rooney has got them to believe in themselves and they’ve turned the corner. That’s our problem. Warburton has to find a way to get our players believing again. Easier said than done. Wish we still had Eze to score something out of nothing to win us a game or three.
From those amongst us that wouldn’t replace the manager now - and I respect that position - I would like to know under what circumstances would you consider a replacement? Would you: A, Not sack him under any circumstances for the foreseeable future; this isn’t his fault etc.? B, Wait and see at the end of the season; if we’re relegated he’s toast, if we survive he stays? C, Wait and see if relegation is a real possibility and there’s (say) 6-10 games to go to get out of this mess? D, Wait until he’s bought Heather Mills in the transfer window, then replace him once the window has shut? E, Something else?
