Just consider that. The worst performance in 60 years of watching. And let's not forget the 3 mighty games between Christmas and New Year. The boys are on quite a run aren't they. Absolutely relegation form. I'm glad you're feeling entertained but these players really do need a kick up the jacksie. I wouldn't place too much stall by what some bloke says on Owlstalk. Yeah, it was an awful performance, but I'm only in my 30s and have seen us capitulate many a time, sometimes in the third tier. It was appalling, but it's not a unique event, unfortunately. We're currently averaging 1.5 points per game, whereas the bottom four are all averaging less than a point per game - even if we lost 21 points tomorrow, I reckon we'd be back out of the bottom three within ten games.

ZicoSterland2 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Drama queens everywhere on here. We arent going down and have enough quality to (even with a points deduction ) stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Concrete Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 4 hours ago, TrickyTrev said: That was one game where in fairness some poor finishing from Leeds did let us off the hook in that first half. It takes a completely different mind set to scrap over a prolonged period in a relegation dog fight, never mind the added blow of suddenly being plunged into one just a month or so before the end of the season when you were previously well clear of it. And this is before you take into account the boost it’s give the other teams down there seeing another club thrown into the dog fight. We have numerous players out of contract in the summer, many of whom will know the club can’t afford to renew their contracts, are they really going to throw everything into a relegation fight knowing they won’t be here a few months later (especially if we go down) and any potential injury could see any possible moves fall through? I would be seriously concerned our players wouldn’t have the stomach for the fight although hopefully Chansiri will win his case against the EFL and we’ll never have to find out.

Johnny Concrete Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 3 hours ago, Gresh said: No I don't think we'll get relegated. To give some context just over a month a go we smashed a poor Forest side 0 v 4 away from home. The same Forest who are comfortably in the top 6. We'll bounce back and just put it down to a collective bad day. Wouldn't say a collective bad day at all, after that Forest game we threw another opportunity away and lost at Stoke (deservedly) and then put 2 absolutely woeful displays in against 2 poor sides in both Cardiff and Hull. Yes we beat Bristol City but it took a penalty to win that, and it wasnt a convincing performance at that. I have to say the application/attitude from many players is showing that when the chips are down they arent prepared and mentally strong enough to roll the sleeves up and dig in.

handworth52 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 7 hours ago, nilsson said: And as it stands we only have a first team squad of 8 players next year. They are Westwood, Palmer, Lees, Iorfa, Borner, Bannan, Luongo and Reach. There’s a massive rebuilding and recruitment job required for next season but do we have the funds to do it? well that's the big if ,have we any funds? probably lower wages etc. yet we will be still paying the highest prices in the championship.

Pale Rider Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Strange to get negged for just trying to open debate about a scenario that could actually prove to be very real. I really hope we all skip off into the sunset, but until we do, what’s the harm in facing our possible demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now ask, if the EFL take 15 points off us, taking into account what happened on Saturday, do you feel we have the right type of character for a relegation fight? What do you think now.

According to the bookies we’re staying up at today’s odds.. That's because we're still 12th. Don't think it takes the idea of a points deduction into consideration at the min so might be worth a punt at that price tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I actually think relegation is no bad thing. Would prevent us from signing overpaid prima donna's. Clear the squad root and branch, and build again. Try and get young, hungry players in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
