Haydos Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 Just wondering, where has this new found belief come from? Posters who geniuenly believed we could stay up were like rocking horse shit before Saturday, one win which unfortuantley due to other results has only made us one point closer to safety and the great escape is on? geniuenly confused by massive sway in opinions. Remaining fixtures and other results have been generally favourable. We could be well out of it if one or two teams around us had picked up a win or two in the last month but we've kept in touch and now at the business end there are others who have horrible run ins and us with 7 out of 8 games that are very 'winnable'.

Posters who geniuenly believed we could stay up were like rocking horse shit before Saturday, one win which unfortuantley due to other results has only made us one point closer to safety and the great escape is on? geniuenly confused by massive sway in opinions. think it's just the way we won, for me. a very late winner in a game where pretty much everything had gone against us. we'd had ridiculous goal line clearances, poor misses, a missed penalty etc etc and were piling on the pressure and then FINALLY something went our way. i'm just hopeful that wasn't just a win but a massive tide turner. the crowd was magic, the players were in the main part pretty good, pearson got everything right and we actually won. momentum and belief are as important, if not even more so, than genuine quality or what's gone before at this time in the season. we've got a lot of games we could get stuff from if we play like we did at the weekend, especially at home. the fact we finally beat a run of the mill side shows to me that we could do so again against the likes of swansea and newcastle.
Ollie93 Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 For us to stay up, we have to start hitting the target, the amount of chances wasted against WHU was silly. Draws won't do anymore, every game is a cup final and we have to win. simple.
Guest Col city fan Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 I had my belief on looking at the run in vis a vis the others. However, I'd factored in beating Hull at home, only to sit there watching an inept display. Now its out of our own hands. We sit bottom, need to win more than we lose AND hope those around us do vice-verca. Never a strong position to be in that. I have a feeling not beating Hull could be the key factor.

But at the same time could you not say that a poor refereeing display at Liverpool could be just as important? Or the amount of games we should of won but didn't. If those penalties hadn't been given at Liverpool, we would have 3 more points, maybe more.

You CAN control how you set up and play against a rival team, at home.

Ollie93 Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 You can't control referreeing decisions. You CAN control how you set up and play against a rival team, at home. My point is I don't think you can rest a whole season on one bad result. We haven't been good enough throughout.
ScouseFox Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 You can't control referreeing decisions. You CAN control how you set up and play against a rival team, at home. agreed. if we are to go down it'll be not taking 3 points from ANY of sunderland, burnley, hull, palace (when they were crap) or west brom (when they were crap) at home. could even throw stoke in there too. a win and a draw more against any of them teams and we'd be off the bottom. 96th min stupid equaliser vs burnley, playing hull for 20 mins with 10 men, a very harsh og vs west brom etc etc etc. they're the games we needed more from, not games at anfield or the etihad.
narboroughblue Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 Always had the optimism and as someone pointed out above its better than the depressing thought of certain relegation. Other teams have done it before so why not us? The odds are against us but while there's a chance I'll keep believing. Bring on WBA this weekend and my dreams of at least a point.
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 For us to stay up, we have to start hitting the target, the amount of chances wasted against WHU was silly. Draws won't do anymore, every game is a cup final and we have to win. simple. Ofcourse draws in certain games will be enough. Even if we won 2 and drew the rest it would probably be enough to survive. What we have to do is beat the teams in the scrap down the bottom. Beat Burnley, QPR and Sunderland, chuck in draws against West Brom, Newcastle and Swansea and I think we will be alright. I'm confident of us picking up atleast 5 points from our next 3 games, would you say that is not enough?

From our next three games that's a great return considering two of them are away! we have 7 games to find 4 wins. No rush. would be great to go on a run to take us to safety by the time we get to game 37 but that's just not going to happen. If we are to get out of this mess, will go down to the wire.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 I reckon: WBA - L Swansea - W Burnley - D Chelsea - L Southampton - D Newcastle - W Sunderland - D QPR - D

I've just given up posting as there's just nothing to say that hasn't been said. So maybe the people that, like me, think we're down already have just gone a bit quiet on here and that just leaves the (deluded?) positivity ..... It would have been easier to believe there was some hope if the results had gone our way on sunday .... but to fall further behind after a win just shows we've run out of time.
Dan Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 West Brom (A)....2-0 L Swansea (H)....1-1 D Burnley (A)....1-1 D Chelsea (H)....1-3 L Newcastle (H)....2-0 W Southampton (H)....0-1 L Sunderland (A)....3-2 L QPR (H).... 1-0 W
shailen Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 I've always maintained we can get out of this and still believe we can, but it will be tough. Although West Brom is not a must win, we need to win to build momentum and start closing on Burnley/Qpr. Then we need to beat 2/3 of Burnley, Sunderland and Qpr. It is still in our hands but only wins will do

Except we've not fallen further behind, we've gained 1 point on 17th. Could have been better but still it means a win on Saturday and 7 points separates the bottom 7.
Benji Posted 9 April 2015 Posted 9 April 2015 WWWWWWWW Pearson to be ceremoniously spaffed off by every man and woman (over 18) in the crowd post-QPR.

I just think if we do survive it will go down to the bitter end.
NotTheMarketLeader Posted 9 April 2015 Posted 9 April 2015 If this becomes the final table, it'll all be down to that silly extra-time freekick Matty James gave away to Burnley in October... I presume you are taking the piss.
Nalis Posted 9 April 2015 Posted 9 April 2015 I'm an optimist but I cant believe how much people are underestimating WBA... also, using the logic that a run will build confidence then surely QPR are the danger team?
