Match Day Thread Dead Rubber with the Bees

Games coming thick and fast now and the last five can’t come soon enough. Next up Brentford, equidistant from the play off and drop zones in the first true dead rubber of the season.

I’m going to stick my neck out here and go for a 2-1 Town win.

 

I think we willl return to our favourite result post 2019 (replacing 2018’s 0-2 defeat) - 1-1 draw.

 

Back to drawing,1-1 again.

 

1-1

 

Damn it, off the post

 

And then we concede at the other end

 

Unlucky slip by Downes, really unfortunate.

 

And Reading are beating the Budgies!!
Wigan are winning too,is that a fat lady I can hear warming up?!

 

Incredible stuff at Norwich. No one is catching them now.

 

Get in Reading!

 

It sounded as though they were just too good for us, great show by the away end though.

 

Been reading some of the stuff on Twitter. Epic effort from the Town faithful!

Really goes to show results are not everything.

 

So much for that.

 

We've seen this coming for years now so it's no surprise to any of us now that relegation is here, its what happens next that matters,whether we continue to slide or start rebuilding a Club that has been shamefully run and neglected to an unbelievable degree by its owner.
Over to you Evans what are you going to do ? Will you stop this embarrassing reclusive nonsense ? Will you have the decency to face Town fans and explain how and why you've driven our Club into the ground when it was obvious to a fool which direction we were going ? Do you think we are owed some sort of explanation ?
Somehow I can't see this Walter Mitty figure doing any of the above, shameful behaviour.

 

I think the interview a few months back is as close as we will ever get to this.

 

Hmm......... I'm afraid they are fella. If getting nothing out of being second best was the answer, Cardiff would be down by now.

Us being still in with a shout with half a dozen games to go on this different planet of Premier League football we'te experiencing is something to go for, but some over here would question is that because of Warnock or in spite of him? Horses for courses has been mentioned and that's probably right - it looks like we're at Ascot as a club with point to point entrants run by a farmer.

Maybe the inevitability of relegation for you now is as a result early season results, but one thing many would argue is that you wouldn't be staring at League one with Warnock on board whatever your opinions of the guy. Horses for course again guys?

Sincerely hope your faith in Lambert pays off for you next season, but sometimes you have to pay a high price for principles - the best of good luck.

 

Not that its much consolation oldsparkey but if you go down at least you have the cash to keep the players you want to and try to bounce straight back, we on the other hand will be looking at severely reduced income which to our clueless owner will mean that anyone he can get a price for will be sold, its quite frightening to think about.

 

Yep FM, the £50M (obscene) first year parachute money will come in very handy. We didn't overspend last season on imports or their wages unlike Fulham - what a disaster that was.

Of the 3 clubs that went up last year, Wolves, us and Fulham, Wolves got it right - good manager, appropriate funds made available and a new direction in style. Fulham got it completely wrong spending over £100M on players and wages to match trying to be something they weren't. We were the opposite to them - low expenditure and easily the lowest wage bill in the Prem on broadly a Championship quality squad. Unfortunately that has possibly cost us another season up here but at least we wont have the baggage that Fulham has next season.

Life in League One isn't going to be easy even for you as an historically successful club when compared to some of your rivals down there. Unless your owner takes a view on what it will take to get you back out of it, it could be a rough ride - a decent manager like Lambert is only half the story.
