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? Yes because we are not going to win the next game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!! Personally, it was losing to Rotherham at home . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt we’d see some improvement after his first full uninterrupted week on the TG and even though the improvement hasn’t been drastic, it’s been there. It’s unlikely that we’ll stay up but it’s never over until it’s over and I still think we have to give DM the benefit of the doubt as he strives hard to achieve the unlikely. He clearly planned the approach vs Barnsley very well. Credit to him. Not beating Rotherham and Huddersfield , and playing one striker in a team which could not score enough goals, was sickening. As was Windass being parked on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley8 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Whatever happens we have to have a serious post mortem with huge changes this calamitous missmanagement has to end. We cannot afford to once again say let's be positive and just hope things turn out okay........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 The problem is to stay up now we need to be consistent. Getting another mini uneaten run like the one Thompson started when he first took over. This would possibly give us a fighting chance, especially if the teams around us drop quite a few points, the problem is I can't see us being consistent enough over the next 9 games to survive. Its the Wednesday way, we'll beat Watford somehow, then lose the easier game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Crawshaw Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 The Easter period has always been traditionally a time when a lot of the relegation places are sorted. If we don't get at least 3 or 4 points from Watford and Cardiff, I think that's our fate sealed with 7 games to go. Just a few weeks ago it was looking like we could make although it would go to the wire. That bad run including losing to two relegation rivals pushed us close to the drop.

Guest buster123 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I think Derby are going to plummet. Rooney knows nothing about relegation scrapes or defending actually. DM has been in plenty of relegation fights in his career. He'll set us up not to get beat and nick a few wins here and there at the training ground over the next 10 days. Bottom 3 Wycombe, Birmingham. Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 50 points is the traditional number required for safety. That means 6 wins from our last 9 games. Sorry but realistically that is not going to happen. If it does then it equals the great escape of 1928. The only chance we have is if another team i.e. Derby also gets a major points deduction to drop them back into the bottom three. When all is said and done we should not have to rely on other teams being deducted points even though courtesy of the mismanagement of the club it is our own points deduction that is going to be the deciding factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Just a small point. Who installed DM? If we do pull out of the bag a total houdini escape. After all the flack DC has taken surely a little praise has to be given to DC. If we ever are going to move forward then fair is fair and we have to take the good and the bad. Supporting Wednesday has never been easy. Riding the emotional roller coaster. It is what it is let by gones be by gones and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do stay up I will give credit to DC for bringing Moore in but I don't think it's unfair what others are saying about it being too late. I actually think if Luton don't score a third in that game before he arrived then he probably doesn't come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost four in a row before we installed Moore. He had some shocking results. Moore should have come in as soon as we sacked Pulis and I think we’d be in a stronger place.
