i used to be sc_owl Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I’m just hoping we avoid relegation if/when we are sanctioned. Call it delusions of mediocrity if you like, but play-offs are out of reach. Assuming no point deduction, we need 30+ points from 12 games. To put another way, we would need to win 10 of our last 12 games. It is not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe I’m saying this, given where we were at Christmas. How is Forestieri key? Hes started 21 games this season and last. We won TWO of them, and one of them we were nil-nil till he went off. Compare that record to Fletcher’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's have some real focus on achieving this! Come on Wednesday!!!!!!!! There is more hope of going to the moon and back in a day than making the play offs, as others have said it's all about avoiding relegation now, god help us when the points get deducted.

Paddyowl Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Fletcher has revived his career this past year and long may it continue BUT one player does not make a team. It all boils down to the manager to pick the right team and tactics, we signed Connor Wickham who is IMO a better all round player than Fletch and the manager is still getting it all wrong. Having Fletch back must give us a better chance than without him but until there is a change in management we will fall short i'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Will be interesting to see Fletcher in a striker pair with Wickham and see how that partnership can work up front for us. Helped by Harris, Murphy, Forestieri on wings and Bannan, Lee and Luongo in mid. Fox, Iorfa, Börner and Palmer at the back to stabilise our defense. Obviously only 11 of them on the pitch at a time.

I want to see the Fletcher-Rhodes remarkable partnership given some games before we use an untried duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happening is it. I'd give up on that one. I personally think 4-4-2 could be key rather than just Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think 4-4-2 could be key rather than just Fletcher. Yea, Monk is throwing things around to find the right formation and the right players, but he needs to settle soon, at least perhaps on formation so that the picked squad at least can be familiar in their roles. Not saying shouldn't ever swap formation, but I'd rather us become familiar and confident with a few formations to suit most games - and now hopefully with Fox and Fletcher back, and possibly soon Luongo too, back in the mix to arrive at a first XI. Forgot Windass and da Cruz in my earlier comment too, at least the former of the two should be able to settle in quickly, while da Cruz can also find room given a little more time as an impact sub to begin with. At least I'd favor his impact over Nuhiu. Plus with those midfielders we've got, even Hutch should come first in the pecking order over Pelupessy.

If Preston maintain the form they've been in for the of the season they will get 76 points. That means we need the same or more. Minimum of 31 points from 12 games. 10 wins and 1 draw or better. Don't bet the house on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
