TheWednesdayBoys Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The league table doesn't look flipping good. Reading have 3 games in had. The rest have 1 i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark77 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 We need a point more than Sflaphorpe over the next 2 away games (Scunny visit Ipswich and Newcastle) That would put us above them and out of the bottom 3, but then the pressure is on at home to Derby and Watford because Scunny have home games against Plymouth and Peterborough. Gonna need at least 7 points from our next 4..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Distraught! Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Random words that come to mind when thinking about the next two home games: DO.....DIE...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 At first I thought the opening post was a bit OTT... However, having looked down the fixtures I'm inclined to agree. 5 wins would see us safe I think, but I can't see us picking up another win on the road, and there are only five home games left I think, with the last two being the piggies and Palace... Bristol, Watford and Derby are absolute must wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaykz Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 We could will the lot and still go down quite comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaykz Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 We could win ALL our matches, not just home ones, and go down No we couldn't. By my maths, winning all our remaining games would see us finish on 70 points. It would be impossible for us to be anywhere near relegation with a total like that. Seriously, have a word with yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still doesn't change the fact that the remaining games are bloody important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shezza Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Why do people keep banging on that we won't win another away game? I think most of our remaining games are winable. Of course we won't win all of them, but it's not like we're doomed. We're done with the runaway teams Newcastle, WBA and Forest. Swansea is probably the toughest remaining away game. But the way we've been playing over the last couple of games, a point should be achieveable. With Miller and Johnson back, our team is starting to look quite decent even on paper. Against a lesser team we probably would have won today. If Preston get a result on Saturday, they'll probably start to feel a little safe, and maybe drop their guard a bit. Ipswich, who won today, are still within reach. As is obviously Palace, who had a very poor result today at home, and Sflaphorpe. The fact that we've picked ourselves up after that result at Reading is a very positive sign in my eyes. Maybe there is some mental strength in the team after all. I'm not saying I'm not worried - far from it! A quick look at the table is enough to send shivers down the spine of any Wednesdayite. But we're in with a fight! Up the Owls!

The worrying thing is every team we have to travel to still has something to play for; either a play off spot or avoiding the drop. I do agree on Preston though, if they win at the weekend they will probably be far enough away to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree on Preston though, if they win at the weekend they will probably be far enough away to be safe. Today most of them have, that's true. But that goes for about almost every team in the division. By the time we play them, some teams will be nearly safe or out of the play-off contention. The game against Crystal Palace could be huge. But HOPEFULLY we'll continue playing like we've done over the last couple of days and seal survival before that. It will a rough ride, though. Let's hope it'll be a long, long time till the next time we find ourselves in a position like this. It's hard looking at positives when we find ourselves in the bottom three after a defeat - but we're by no way down and out yet. And by the looks of it, the team has got it's spirit back. Let's just hope the players don't drop their standards again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest billsaja Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/t...res/default.stm FFS, look at CP's run in. Find me 4 wins in there for them............ We're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Distraught! Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) To look at it another way: A win and a defeat from every two games until the end of the season or an average of 1.5 points per game will probably be enough for safety. So a win against Leicester and defeat against WBA is on par for what we need. Even another defeat against Swansea would not be a disaster as long as it is backed up with wins in the home games. The home games are definitely key to survival! Edited March 9, 2010 by Distraught! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ReginaldBlinker Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 However, after what seems to be a decent performance tonight could we pick up points at Swansea & PNE? Who'd have thought we'd win at Barnsley & Blackpool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darkus Owlus Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 The Hart appointment at Palace could be significant. He's not really sure what he's doing, and I doubt the Palace players will be boosted by such a dry cow pat shard of an appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday-Wonderland Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 The Hart appointment at Palace could be significant. He's not really sure what he's doing, and I doubt the Palace players will be boosted by such a dry cow pat shard of an appointment. That's one way to look at it. The other is that he has a lot of experience working with young players. I think (hope?) you're right though, Palace surely won't do as well with him as they would've done with Colin.

Find me 4 wins in there for them............ We're fine. I don't share your total optimism, but cheers for the link- that's brightened me up a bit! They must be sweating a bit with that run in- Barnsley, us, Derby, Watford and Preston are potentially winable but all of their other games are flipping horrible. I'm glad we're not in their shoes.

NYCOWL Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Just listened to Irvine, have to say, I love listening to the man, he gives me confidence, and more importantly, I think he lifts the players. I think we'll stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
