TheEnchanter Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Rotherham are currently on track to finish 4th bottom on 46 points. With goal difference applied we'd need 47 so we'd bascially need 6 wins from the last 11 games or 5 wins and 4 draws. We've only won 6 in our last 25. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 No chance, yes a good first half and poor second but signs of something BUT 7 pts behind Birmingham, Rotherham have 4 games in hand so likely to raise that gap to let’s say 8/9 pts 8/9 pts behind 4th bottom with 11 to go nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Nah mate. Your wrong I’m afraid. I think Moore is the right man. I can see what he’s trying to get us to do and I like it. But it’s about five fixtures too late. It’s all about shaping things for next season and giving a few teams a bit of a fright on the way down. At least we gave Norwich something to think about today! Took them an hour to get back on level terms and they scored two absolute cracking goals to beat us. Im not dreading the Huddersfield game but we don’t have enough winnable fixtures to stay up. Hope I’m wrong, but the Birmingham, Luton and Rotherham games killed us off I fear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went in to the game expecting a 4-0 thrashing. But we showed some bottle and some guile. It's not over yet boys. I admire your optimism and today was hopefully a good sign in terms of how Moore wants to play. Unfortunately I think it won't be enough for this season as he doesn't have enough to work with to turn the points difference around. We have not got results against the bottom 6 sides which will be our downfall. Don't forget we played well in a very encouraging win at promotion chasing Bournemouth not long ago. Huddersfield really is last chance saloon. If we can't beat them we can't expect to win 5 or more of our last 10, which we will need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 7 wins to have a fighting chance. 8 wins to be sure. We've won 9 in 35. Even Pele couldn’t help that Great Escape. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either of those win just a couple of their last 10/12 games and get a couple of draws then we will need 5 or 6 wins. It's not realistic.

Owls-Fan Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 We won’t, and it’s best not to think we can. Most important is we see more of a team shape and style like we did today. And hope Moore will stay and create a side we can be more proud of next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Makes me even more mad why we just didnt take a chance to get a couple of proper strikers in January. It just too painfully obvious where our problems are. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we're going down. Spot on. You don't get relegated because you lose to the top of the table. You get relegated because you lose to the teams around you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Red cards and defeats against sides around us have cost us massively this season. Can’t lose against the teams we have and expect to stay up. The more favourable fixtures have been and gone. And we lost pretty much all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 At one nil up I was having a look at the table thinking an unexpected win could put us right back in it. We’ve had long bad runs interspersed with some good runs too around Xmas and the start of the season. But that alone shows how fragile we are and each game is like the season in microcosm. Some good moments totally undone by some real naivety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
