@owlstalk Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Wednesday sit in 16th place currently and eight points clear of Burton Albion and Hull City who hover on the edge of the relegation spots Whilst nobody is taking anything for granted i think we'll be safe enough although will still be a relief to get over the finish line and secure it for definite. It's the FA Cup progression that I"m wanting now though. Don't know about you guys but a continuation in the cup would be amazing. Sunderland and Barnsley look doomed if their recent form is anything to go by as they struggle to even pick up draws. The 22nd place is more up in the air as Burton, Hull, Birmingham and Bolton seem to be battling that one out Let's hope we can secure a few more points and stay safe, although I honestly believe we're prioritising getting the players totally fit and injury free first and picking up the points slowly as we go rather than busting all our players to death to secure the points needed earlier.

OwlofOliveGrove Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I agree we should definitely chuck the kitchen sink at the cup. ...but I also want to see us a way further clear of relegation than 8 points. Doubt we'll go down but it'd be nice to keep a 10 point+ buffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopes raised, giros spent, granny sausage finger’s pension frittered away, coach loads of urchins with no shoes on being taken to London for a pap day out, Simonsen style penalty taking, blades for justice shoe protest after etc etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think we'll be safe. The points gap means 3 crap teams have to win 3 more games each, than us. Can't see that happening. Would love it if Brum & Barnsley dropped, & that massive club Sunderland. And Hull. And Burton, to save taking 6 points off us Who cares? Any 3 feckers as long as we survive!

This part of your posts suggest you're new to football and don't understand it. This clearly isn't the case All football teams try and pick up points as fast as they can, regardless of league position or which part of the season. The highlighted statement is pretty incredible. It almost you think we're the Hare against the other Tortoises (Sunderland Barnsley et al). What do you mean pick up points slowly, Incredible stuff. We need to try and pick up points as soon as possible, cause all the other teams will be trying to. I genuinely think some are deluded and think SWFC, somehow have a guaranteed sprint finish in the locker (we might have, but we might not).

room0035 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Surely if the stories coming out about Jos not being here after the summer we need to finish as high as possible to make ourselves an attractive as possible to the new man coming in. If this story is genuinely true and not just Owlstalk then we should have someone already lined and not wait till he leaves then start looking you know like we seem to always do. As for this week end Barnsley play the Brum so even with a villa lose at worse we would be 6 points off the bottom three but if we can win tomorrow we could be double figures away from the bottom 3. Who would have thought this time last year after missing out on the play off final because we bottled it against Huddersfield, we would be sat here tying to work out what we need to avoid relegation. Then this week instead of the season tickets reducing in prices they stay the same. The joys of being an unappreciated fan. We will be here long after others have left but once in a while it would be nice to feel a little valued by your club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
