League One

[Dan]

It's on. Sheff Weds are the only team worse. We really might not even need the deduction.

[CrazyKopCorner]

There was  more than a whiff of relegation last week. 

 

This week it's a stench.

All those people romanticising about our last stint in League One would do well to remember that that was prior to KP coming in. League 1 with this lot in charge will just be another chapter in the ongoing nightmare. It's not going to magically get better if we go down again. 

 

Also,, those young players who people think will storm it in League 1....they don't want to play in League 1 any more than the senior pros, I'm sure. They'll be looking for moves away too.

West Brom are in freefall. Fans calling for the manager's head after 5 matches. Serious candidates for relegation.

That would be our stay of execution, if the Baggies carry on in that manner....

We’ll just pip them like we did Everton.

The fact that we keep churning out the 'senior pros' week in week out despite them proving just how spineless they are in last season's relegation battle absolutely boils my p*ss.  

 

Have any lessons actually been learnt? 

[Number 6]

Seems like we are relying on others not picking up rather than being able to do the job ourselves. A few down there seem able to fight and scrap for points. Blackburn and West Brom may save us but it's looking grim.

Form of the bottom 4 over last 5 games is shocking, aside from us gifting Oxford 3pts last week

 

[Corky]

Either this or bottom half Championship regularity. Great.

[Rubbersoul]

Do you think we’ll ever have a side of 11 guys all fighting and running through walls for a manager again? 
 

Feels so hopeless at the moment. 

[oxtonfox]

I’m looking forward to some away trips to Bromley, Cambridge and Salford. Oh my God how far will we sink ?

I think they are down, been looking candidates for awhile now.

 

However 10 points deduction puts us 4 points behind them

If we finish Monday evening without signing atleast 3 players, let alone a manager then we are going down. Probably even without a points deduction. 

We ain't signing 3 new players or a manager by Monday evening and I don't think we'll go down either. Not because we've got a brilliant squad and we're entitled more because I think Kingy will do enough even with the points deduction.

Sitting there at the KP against Charlton gave me a little optimism despite the result. 11 men, scoring a penalty it's a totally different game. 

Let's see what the next few games look like, break free from the Marti doom and gloom, give Kingy a fair chance with support. 

It's hard, as a supporter,  to break free from the lazy football that's been served up and that losing mindset, but our fortunes will turn and It could be now. Nobody knows for sure. 

[Wsl]

It's all going to turn on that points deduction. Without it, however poor we are, I don't think we're going down. We have a 5 points plus cushion over 5 teams, some of them have at least as bad form as we do right now (WBA, for example) and there's only 2 relegation slots as Sheffield are taking one. We'll grab the odd points every 3/4 games as we've done to date - always an odd win to make it look a little better. But 6 points or more and it is a real risk, with a team that doesn't look like it's got any fight. As Teilemans said above, the good youngsters are not going to want to hang around League 1 if they can help it either, and I don't blame them for that at all.  So when you've got a squad where most want away, you've got a real problem in any relegation scrap.

[Dan]

Even if we fluke survival this season it would only assure Aiyawatt to carry on as normal. We'd be down next season for sure. 

[Edingleyfox]

Leicester are not too good to go down. Defensive mistakes every week but no changes, a very lightweight midfield and playing a winger as no 9. We have been saved by bits of quality from James plus sometimes Fatawu and Reid but the overall game  is slow and predictable with a very low work rate. Physical sides with little quality that should be there for the taking find it way too easy to push us aside. 

[kingfox]

Very much looking forward to League 1, as we replace Jordan Ayew and Patson Daka, with Paul Mullin and Jay Rodriguez.

[Pliskin]

Relegation will finish us. We will end up in league two because we will go into administration. 
 

 

Tops interview just confirmed this is where we are going…. He has no intention of selling the club, he can’t afford to financially bail the club out, so with all of these loans, massive contracts and lack of competence, this club will just accidentally fall into administration. 
 

He has basically admitted live for everyone to see, that he doesn’t know what he is doing.

'promote next season!' 

[trugerkem]

2 local games for me is a bonus 

[CosbehFox]

They’ll be a bizarre sub section within the fanbase what would enjoy it. New grounds, win a few more games, blah blah blah
