HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 So, are we all giving up on the play offs then? 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 It will take a debacle like the 1990 season for us to go down now I just don't see it I think we will finish with 44 points and be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Wednesday Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I was just about to say, remember 1990. This side is a million times worse than that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodytheowl Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Hate to say it but Barnsley have three home games in a row now. Hull, Reading, Burton and Barnsley have a game in hand on us. We've got to play Hull and Sunderland away, Reading at home. Without doubt I think the four below us will overtake us if we stay in this form. Get a few players back? It generally takes players a month to get firing properly and we've got 6 or 7 weeks left! The only question is will one of the bottom three then go on a run? Well, there's three of them so there's a really good chance that one of them will with the stakes at play and the randomness of this league. I am a lot more fearful than most people at the pub who laughed at me when I put cover bets on a few weeks ago but I am $hitting it right now even more tbf. Have you looked at our run in? I seriously can not see where we can win a game. We'll probably go and lose at Sunderland, then we've got in form Fulham at home, may as well not even turn up to QPR and Wolves away as we'll get nothing. Other two games before we go and get shafted 4-0 in Wolves victory parade are 6 pointers if there ever was one, against Hull away and Reading at home. Then Norwich at home on last day where we all know that anything can and will happen. The nightmare is becoming reality.

Two league wins out of 21 games. Bottom of the form table. No sign of the next win. I don't share the same confidence as you mate tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 1 hour ago, Ibbo48 said: I hate to say it but some of us who are a bit longer in the tooth can remember past seasons when there was no way we could go down at this stage but did. In those seasons we actually won the odd match during the run in and the impossible happened. It’s never over till it’s mathematically impossible. Quite true but I'd rather be in our position than any of the bottom 4. We should improve when Hutch and Van Aken play the next game and Bannan returns the game after (if all goes well). Hunt was back today which is an improvement on Palmer. Hunt Venancio Lees Van Aken Pudil/Fox Hutch Boyd Reach Bannan Joao Looks better than it did a few weeks ago. Any others we can recover will just be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope we don't gift Sunderland a confidence boosting win that could give them some hope & belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds (A) Preston (H) Sunderland (A) Fulham (H) QPR (A) HUll (A) Reading (H) Wolves (A) Norwich (H) I can see us getting only 3 draws out of that lot. I don't think 41 pts will keep us up.

I share your concern and normally I pretty much agree with you on most topics. I think we will be alright but it’s more down to the fact that there are 5 other teams that are very poor. It’s a good job as otherwise we would be down this season. Hopefully the return of some other key players in the next few weeks should help us. However, I think we can all agree it’s been a disaster this season. So much mismanagement from the Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 we have the worst side in the division without a doubt ,if we just stop up it will be on 1 of the lowest points totals ever. burton are world beaters compared to us. brum did double very easily against us ,and we have won 2 of 21 games which if table was based on last 21 games would have us bottom of league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
