Probably the biggest and most important match of our season is Saturday 23rd April, we play Reading at the MKM. We may even be below them in the league when we play them depending on how results go.
It’s the only game we realistically need to win to survive. And it’s at home. So of course we’ll bottle it.
Heaven help us if we lose a couple of matches in the next few weeks, 0330 094 5717 will be unavailable due to unprecedented demand. That said none of the bottom three will catch us.
Beat Cardiff and its probably irrelevant. Very winnable with them having nothing to play for. Just the sort of game you want
im feeling very nervous, we’ve been here before….twice & we ****ed it up. I don’t think we have the mental strength & leadership for a end of season relegation scrap. I hope I’m wrong
Tbf it's usually crunch games against relegation rivals we **** up. Cardiff look poor and disinterested at the moment because they're safe, and if we lose to them we don't deserve to stay up!
Looking at our squad from day one of this season I thought we'd very much be in a relegation battle, and the January additions did little to change my initial thoughts. We are woefully weak in terms of experience at this level, and too many younger players learning on the job. I have seen 4-5 matches this season when the overall performance has been on a par with some of what I saw in our darkest ever days, absolutely dreadful. Somehow however we've managed to get ourselves in a position were it would take a catastrophe of Grant McCann standards for us to get relegated. So well done lads, lets get another 4 points from the 18 still on offer, and it's job done, onwards and upwards with some sound player investments for next season backed by a new owner who to date I've been impressed by.
I agree and thankfully, we’re benefitting from Derby and Reading’s misfortune. We certainly didn’t do enough to equip our squad with enough quality in either window, hopefully that will change. Some of our performances this season have been very poor (a handful of good to balance it out), but we’ll have to do much more next season to climb the table.
Our last game of the season Forest will be comfortably sitting in 3 rd position and hopefully turn up at the Kcom wearing espadrilles and sombreros
I couldnt imagine Steve Cooper in a sombrero. That would look right odd. Hope to Gawd they don't bottle it and need a win at ours.
Wouldn't it be good if we could do M'boro on Saturday. We could then have a month not worrying about anybody else's fixtures.
