I was about to say I would be overjoyed with a draw. Then I thought ‘god it’s come to this, a draw against a newly promoted side is a good result’
A draw against a newly promoted side 9th in the table is a good result when we're rock bottom. Newly promoted has bugger all to do with current form.
If you look at the last 2 seasons they have followed a similar pattern. We start well and then turn to **** from Jan onwards, but our start was enough to keep us away from danger. I actually think signing so many players hindered Ralph. Despite the players we signed all being some of our best players it meant that Ralph didn’t know his best team and didn’t get the early run of results we had the last couple of years. Add that to the fans turning on him because of the end of last season and it meant he was gone. I’m in the minority but I actually think Jones will be successful here, success for a side like ours is just staying up
I think we need to win this game. a draw is not really much help. The difference in points will need to be made up as quickly as possible so that we are out of the relegation zone and can have a successful transfer window,. In my opinion a draw is not enough this afternoon.
