Popular Post DJMortimer Posted April 23 Popular Post Share Posted April 23 22 minutes ago, Luke said: 10pm at night and searching for gotchas What a loser It seems to me that you could have rescued a vestige of credibility with something like, "Well just look at that. They've made me look silly haven't they? Ah well - that's life. Come on lads; we're almost there". Or maybe completely ignoring it and putting it down to experience. But instead, you've chosen to double down with a second highly visible strop, just in case there was any doubt remaining about how you handle a little adversity. As at least one poster has already pointed out, the great irony is that even as you accused the team of throwing the towel in, they have kept staggering up off the canvas and throwing punches even as you sulked with your back to the ring. 15 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we fluffed it, then it's a good thing it was only a must win game in your imagination. Better to stay grounded in reality, and try to be more positive After Blackburn it's not feeling very ominous at all. The Great Escape is very much possible, but work still to do... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn = Loss West Brom = Draw (if they have achieved play offs, Loss if not) Sunderland = Draw at best. Maximum we will get is 2 points. There is a reason we have been 23rd for 99.9% of the season, we just aren't good enough. Defence is league one Midfield is non existent and we can never win a second ball or take control Attack we just aren't clinical like other teams down there. First 10 games finished us, we had a good go but have fallen short, I don't think another 10 games would make a difference, whenever we get chance to get out of the relegation zone and have control of our season we just bottle it. The mental strength and composure when we have a chance is like a rich tea biscuit dipped in tea and not a hob nob. We tried today and all of them put it on the line today, we just aren't good enough and there's no shame in that. If they didn't try or fight then that's a different story. This aged well. According to your negative view we would only get 2 points from last 3 games Well we have already got 3 points from 1 game ! Try to be more positive about Röhl's Wednesday on Saturday 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially bringing Musaba and Cads on in the 93rd minute. We had to win today and I think he left it too late. Why do posters keep repeating this nonsense that we had to win? We did not, and now 10 days later we are not in the bottom 3 any more as we won at Blackburn Try to stop panicking.... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness he’s not wrong and there are so many idiotic must win posts every week and there have been for months now. If we’d failed at the first must win game, you’d think the same numpties would stop saying the next week that this one really is must win…. But no!!! The same cretins are back week after week saying the same tripe. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Birmingham have the quality to pull themselves out of it, as they've shown today. I want to be positive but, realistically, we must win all of our games to stay up, and I can't see us doing that. I think the relegation spots at the end of the season are: Huddersfield Wednesday Rotherham I'll forever hate the number 23 after this season.

Jim Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 This relegation battle has swung one way and the other from week to week as has the mood of some posters on here. There has been weeks where I’ve thought we were done but then I’ve had this nagging feeling that we’ve come too far to fall short now. One thing I do find laughable is some of the criticism Röhl gets. He’s made one or two questionable decisions as all managers do but to have us where we currently are given the sh!tshow he inherited is some achievement. Staying up would mark him out as a manager to keep an eye on. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel. Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 To be fair we haven’t stopped up yet and those Stoke and Swansea games did feel like hammer blows at the time, a gut feel those weekends. Remains to be seen if they actually are but they looked the most “winnable”. Sometimes these forums are about getting reactionary thoughts out just like P&G is for the folk who like to call Staton. When we have a good result it feels like we will continue that way, when we don’t it feels like we are not good enough and will fall short. Even the Blackburn game had some poor spells first half before a much braver second half, despite that szmodics nearly got us a second time on the break at 3-1 (!!) and had that gone in what a nervy end to the game. Here’s to things remaining on the positive end of the spectrum for the next couple of weeks but who knows! Like many sides at the bottom we can look a good side and a hardworking but susceptible one and the same game. I understand we may be top six form wise which is very encouraging at this time. A roll of the dice. I think we all just want to know the answer now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel. Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Also the renewed feeling that we can do this stems from the wholly unexpected change at Rotherham and the dropping of points by Birmingham. Had they beaten Rotherham as I think 90% of people expected them to, we’d still be a point behind them with two games left. It did look bleak that weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 We might go down. We might stay up. What is guaranteed is that people like the OP can't cope with anything other than black and white and so lash out when they are upset. It's hard not to react but there are probably some underlying reasons why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanidaho Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 11 hours ago, Luke said: 10pm at night and searching for gotchas What a loser And what time were you forum surfing trying to deflect from your negative post. we have all had doubts this season, especially after a setback but it’s a sport and you support your team. by all means have a pop, rant or grumble but the negativity of posts like this just sound like toddlers having a whine. I, like many others constantly post that we have had a chance, at times it looked very small but until mathematically proven will hold onto hope that we can do it. have there been times when I thought “that’s us done?” Of course there has been, but the team have always seemed to hang in there, and while they do, I will too… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could still be relegated, but we've now put our fate back in our own hands. After failing to beat Stoke our form was 1 win in the last 7, going into the last three games. Easy for you to call people out in hindsight. You're the only d*ckhead here, mate. Also, learn how to interact with people.
