Now we are 1pt better off than forest was and they survived so just keep the faith its not over yet.

[trevdi9]

oh right ,thanks for that i'l sleep easier tonight mate ,panic over

[Guest Sweet&TenderOwl]

They changed their manager though, a couple of months before January. We haven't.

Just because they survived, doesn't mean we will?

But using them as a template only shows that we should've changed the manager before January.

Is that the point of your post?

[owls101]

The post was welled intended but massive fail Im affraid

[C&K OWLS]

forgot they changed there manager but that wasn't my point anyway was just stating even though we are in the bottom three now we wont stay there so you could use millwall as a example from the leauge 1pt better off than we are now but finished in 16th with 57pts so there is still plenty of time left to save ourselfs

There is plenty of time but apart from Millwall we haven't beaten anyone in the top half or fairly decent in this league.

If that continues, will be able to pick up enough points to stay up? To get the amount of points we need, we need to be more positive in formation, win a fair few games.

That will only happen with some new signings and more positive tactics or with the fresh impetus of a new man in charge.

Another thing that is pretty clear from your post, is that the table doesn't change a great deal from January till May.
