We need around 22 points from 14 games. 1.57 ppg, that’s essentially us winning 7 of our remaining games. We’ve only managed to win 9 of 32. It’s over. Plan for L1. We won't plan though. We never do. We will need a manager and a whole new squad in the summer with next to no budget and an owner that's given up. We'll throw together a team of mercenaries again and the manager will probably get replaced again. Link to post Share on other sites

If you did then surely you cannot believe that a team which caves in like that and has lost 5 out of the last 6 games can suddenly find the character needed to get out of this mess. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He’ll probably still think promotion is achievable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Athelwulf 4,411 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 9 minutes ago, Sefton owl said: League 2, come off it The problem is that the system which got us relegated from this division will remain. Chansiri will bring in a foreign manager who knows little about the division or lower-division players in general. And Paixao will continue to choose the players. It's a re-run of what's already happened, but at a lower level. IMO this is why Paixao would never have sanctioned Cook, because Cook knows much more about lower-division players than he does. If Cook chooses the players and builds a team to get us back up, that leaves Paixao redundant. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We capitulate in the vast majority of games against our bottom half opponents. Even today when we do the unexpected and get ourselves a two goal lead, the writing is on the wall as soon as we concede the first sloppy goal, and when we do fall behind, we've yet to rescue three points this season's n. If we'd appointed a manager and strengthened the squad in January, we might have a chance. As things stand, I'd be amazed if we stayed up. The chairman has abdicated his responsibilities and left the U23s coach to try to rescue our club. Link to post Share on other sites

ZicoSterland2 1,918 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 13 hours ago, Sefton owl said: League 2, come off it Could well happen with at least 12 players out of contract in June and looking at our shocking recruitment policy( or lack of it ) this season. Link to post Share on other sites
Manwë 3,793 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 If people want to give up with 14 games to play, their choice. The team is poo, weak and full of injured nobodies, but we are where we are and we've got what we've got. We don't need 50 points per se, we need one point, one goal, one goal difference better than third from bottom, and we are just a few points from catching that team up with plenty to play for. The team has shown it can get a run together, and shown it can collapse in equal measure. When there's still hope then we carry on. When the fat lady is already banging her groupies backstage after her gig, then we can look forward to League One. Link to post Share on other sites

matthefish2002 13,505 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I dont think the current Wednesday side is the worst I have seen in my time. But it has the potential to be in the next 2-3 seasons with some many players out of contract, our dysfunctional recruitment system and no decent manager wanting to touch us with a barge pole. Think League 2 is far more likely then a return to the Championship anytime soon. Link to post Share on other sites
