0114 4,679 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 On course to finish on around 44 points. We need to pick up around 1.5 ppg to stop up, that’s like winning 7/8 of our remaining 15 games. When you think this team has won 9 of 31 it’s hard to see how we stop up. We are done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TodwickOwl 3,782 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Looking at other teams - Coventry have that much of a cushion on us now I think they are safe from third bottom. Their fixtures suggest to me they can pick 2/3 more wins - that’s then on 43 points at the end of the season, that’s 15 ahead of us to match that - absolutely no chance we will get that. That leaves Birmingham - I can see probably another 2 wins and maybe a draw, 7 points. They’re 3 ahead, so 10 points ahead at the end of the season to match it - I can see us collecting 4/5 points tops. It’s done. Link to post Share on other sites
folger 630 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Very best case scenario is 21 points from them games. Link to post Share on other sites
Maxine 4,586 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 What a depressing read. I can't see where the goals are going to come from to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites
SwellOwl 1,382 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) IF we have anything chance of surviving, looking at those fixtures, the next 2 are where we need to pick up points (Luton & Rotherham). Those remaining fixtures are bloody tough and struggling to see beyond them 2 fixtures where we have an opportunity. Edited February 25 by SwellOwl :) Link to post Share on other sites
Manwë 4,091 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Football is relative, it doesn't matter how bad we are, as long as there are three other teams worse than us. Fifteen games to go, just three points relatively to catch up to fourth from bottom . We were thrown a lifeline once this season, there's fifteen games for such a lifeline to be cast again. We are not done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bulgaria Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 We need goals. We don't score. We have coaches who think playing Rhodes up top on his own is a good idea. It's as if we WANT to go down. Link to post Share on other sites
Busmansholiday 42 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I fear that Colin will ensure our relegation just like 2010 when he was Palace manager. I hope I'm wrong, but they're going to have to put something special in the tea urn if we are going to win enough matches after last nights performance. Link to post Share on other sites
matthefish2002 13,685 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Reading this thread you would think we were cut adrift in the relegation places. 3 Points off safety with a game on hand with a better goal difference. It is far from certain we will be relegated. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was Paul Hart in charge of Palace. As bad as it is right now I'd like to think we won't be down with two games to spare. Link to post Share on other sites
TaxiMark 9,239 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 We simply have to aim for 4th bottom and for me that's between us Rotherham, Coventry Bham and Huddersfield. But we have no manager and the owner has disappeared so that makes us a rudderless ship. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

NeonLeon 3,202 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The way Rotherham are playing at the minute they should coast past us. Everything we aren’t currently. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes... They might lack skill and ability, but they make up for it with a lot of fight and energy which they maintain for 90 mins. We won't match them in that respect. Saw their game against Forest and they were unlucky. I fear they will simply outrun and outfight us next week. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

OWLISH 105 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 We'll be fine, just having a wobble. Last 7 games in particular look winnable. Link to post Share on other sites
Morepork 14,814 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 It all looks grim. And, being Wednesday I can say with certainty we will drag out the possibility of being safe to the bitter end, only to gift it to someone else with our dying breath........ Who'd be a Wednesday customer......... Link to post Share on other sites
WalthamOwl 20,004 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I’m dreading the Rotherham game next week. Hate losing to them and getting out battled. Link to post Share on other sites
