Guest Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 It's hard to stay positive but we do have a few things going our way. Great away win. DM is a excellent motivator. We have a game in hand. Lots of points still available. It's way easier to play catch up than than holding a lead. One more win and a loss for one of the 3 teams above and all the momentum changes. The only down side of our great revival is, when we stay up DC will take all the credit. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I was always optimistic about our chances, until the Luton game. I agree with the post above. It’s better to be pessimistic about our chances, then we can celebrate if we stay up and be neutral if we don’t. If we’re optimistic then we’re neutral if we stay up and devastated if we go down. We’re fooked!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SallyCinnamon Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 If we stay up DC takes absolutely no credit. He’s done everything in his power to make this season as difficult as possible. Points deduction, managerial circus, not paying players on time, no January signings, adviser shenanigans. If we stay up it’s all on Darren Moore. 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Nah, it's over I reckon. I really enjoyed our win on Saturday, I enjoy all our wins, but it was just 1 win at the end of the day. This team has repeatedly let us and themselves down. They've seen off manager after manager. They aren't interested in whether we stay up or not, if they get relegated they'll find new clubs and get a signing bonus bigger than what any of us earn in a year. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd normally share your optimism but our players just don't have the mentality. Now & again they'll break the mould & put a couple of results together but they soon return to normal & hang their manager out to dry. DC's management of player contracts leaving so many out of contract at the end of the season hasn't helped but I'm afraid we're League 1 bound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83owl Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 We’ve won 10 games all season. We need to win at least half of that again in the last 9 games. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagarri Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 No, it’s over AND we certainly don’t deserve to stay up (despite the number of atrocious teams down around us)...the club/DC brought this on themselves. Just hope we don’t get relegated by less than 6 points or DC will just point the finger at the ‘injustice’ from the EFL (though they’re a joke too, they’re not to blame here). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Its nice to hear a positive viewpoint mate....but i'm not falling for it, ive accepted what looks inevitable, too many bloody let downs, Luton, Rotherham, Huddersfield etc.....Bruce,Monk Pulis..... If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...its a duck 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sunburn Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm plenty optimistic and when we stay up, I'll definitely celebrate. That was a huge mountain to climb. It would take all day to list all the club had to fight against. As for neutral, we aren't the Swiss. I'll be happier than I was when we first beat Cardiff. Make no room for pessimism. There's a reason winners win! UTO 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mighty wednesday Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Saturday's win reminded me of the time we beat Reading 5-2 or something under Dave Jones. Reading played a high line similar to Rotherham and it played into our hands. Dave Jones was deluded after the game when he said on Sky "it was coming. we knew we were were going to give someone a battering" It turned out we were just as bad after that win as we were before it and it wasn't too long before Jones went. I'd like to be more optimistic but I think it was just that Rotherham played into our hands like Luton did in the first half. It will not happen in enough games to save us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huncho Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I know this season has been vile, but I honestly don’t know how you can say we’re down with a 6 point deficit with 9 games left, and a game in hand. Forget form, it rarely means anything in football, and things can flip at the flick of a switch Will people still be saying we’re down if we win the next game, and the gap is cut to 3pts with a game in hand, and 8 left to play? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Optimism or pessimism. It won’t change what happens. We can’t even go and cheer the lads on or creat a hostile environment for opposing teams. I can’t see a path to us staying up, but more than anything I want us to scrap like mad. That way even if we do go down I will at least feel we might have the spirit to come back up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest hurdles is we aren’t just trying to overtake one team. I think we might actually overtake Birmingham. But Rotherham are the team with their fate in their own hands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does tho'...form plays a massive part, good form breeds confidence, bad form leads to the run we have had..... I'm not saying "Give up"...I'm saying ive seen us like this before, and know how it ends. I will be happy as larry to be wrong...and take all the slating with a smile on me face...I simply have no confidence in the club whatsoever at the minute 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one gave us a chance at Barnsley and we won. If it was a 12+ gap I’d be inclined to agree, but it’s six and this division is barking mad...nothing is predictable.

Steve Down South Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Love the optimism, but I just can’t see it. Back to losing ways at Watford I’m afraid, they will have far too much for us. Expect to finish on or around 40 points, nowhere near enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
