scilly owl Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Sunderland, who are a catastrophe, will hammer us. Our ex loan players who now warm the bench at Sunderland will torment our full backs mercilessly. As we all say, it’s the Wednesday way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musn't Grumble Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 And the irony is that we again played awfully, got a point, and yet extended the gap between us and bottom three to eight points. I still reckon that four points should see us safe but, I agree, that seeing where those four points are going to come from is very difficult right now.

SiJ Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Bizarrely, after yesterday's dismal showing, I'm more confident of staying up than I was at the start of the week. We are woeful (would be relegated in any other season), but the teams below us are just as crap. One or two wins and I think we will be fine...though that is easier said than done with this current shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just this sort of complacency that will get us relegated! Everyone needs a urgency pill and a big dose of passion to show they bloody well care! I was a guest of the match ball sponsor and went into into the dressing room before a game a few weeks back and it was like a morgue - nobody saying a word, no music, no one talking, no nothing, totally flat. No mouthy leaders. Only reason we might not go down is Fessi is back soon, and just in time...... Sounds like Joss and his sparkling personality is rubbing off onto the players. I actually think he might have rigor mortise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 IF we do stay up, then I will genuinely lose my sh*t if our fans given the players some sort of standing ovation. Couldn't believe there were pockets of fans yesterday applauding their "efforts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 8 behind us. I genuinely don't think we will get 3 more points this season based on our last 5 performances. Fulham home (L) Preston home (L) Reading home (D) Norwich home (L) Leeds away (L) Sunderland away (D) QPR away (L) Hull City away (L) Wolves away (L) Now you can debate Hull away but seriously tell me why you think we will win ANY of our remaining games (unless we get a new manager in and get a bounce of a win or two) My pot is always half full. IF Birmingham, Burton and Sunderland can put a 4 games unbeaten run together, out of 9 games, that is promotion push and I just cannot see them doing that. It is all about results now and 9 draws will do me, and with experienced players coming back then I cannot see us NOT getting any more points.

I hope so mate I really hope so but we definitely ain't getting 9 draws... Plus it don't need all three of them to hit a bit of form does it? 3 go down after all... Hopefully we can all look back and have a bit of a laugh about this one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 It would be very nice to get a 95 min winner at ER next week. Games where we have dropped points this season in the last few minutes off top of my head .. Cardiff away 2points dropped Hull home 2 points dropped Villa home 1 points dropped Boro home 1 points dropped Bolton home 2 points dropped. 8 points dropped in the last few minutes and this needs sorting, IIRC it was an issue under carlos in his early days too.

Guest Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 8 hours ago, Peake said: I'm in the not worried at all camp, mostly due to how bad those are below us. Can't believe how pessimistic everyone is. Leeds, Sunderland, QPR, Hull and Reading are all 'winnable'. Not that we'll win them all of course but we'll win a couple surely. Then 2 or 3 draws between the rest and we'll be more than fine. I don't see why we're in meltdown. Now if we lose the next 3 I'll jump on the band wagon In recent weeks Birmingham, Barnsley, Milwall, Ispwich and Bolton would all have fallen into a similar ,'winnable' category.....

I suspect that most of the contributors on here who think that we are safe, have not been supporting Wednesday for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
