Magictv Posted 30 December 2005 Share Posted 30 December 2005 It does but the problem is their form has overtaken ours, if you use the last 6 games as a guide we will be relegated. i see well lets just hope there are 3 teams worse than us in the league then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 30 December 2005 Share Posted 30 December 2005 HmmI checked last 8 league table on football365 site and luckily their are 3 teams worse then us on form and I was wrong, so on that basis we would stay up although there is still a win in the last 8.

City_4_Life Posted 31 December 2005 Share Posted 31 December 2005 Sorry to bring this back up but it really is a big possibilitie now. I thought we was actually going to win the Norwich game but now with us losing and some of the teams below us winning it has become a bigger problem and more possible. I still have a gut feeling that we will be alright but it has hit me now tha it will be a very hard second part of the season. So what does everyone think of relegation now?

Libertine Posted 31 December 2005 Share Posted 31 December 2005 Reckon if we get another manager its Mass-Clearout time? Don't think there's a need to. We clearly have talented players in the squad, it's just getting the right manager to make them use it fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will change now with alot of low placed teams winning, I will post the bottom of it after its updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ithuriel Posted 31 December 2005 Share Posted 31 December 2005 two points of the relegation zone and we dont look like we know how to get a win. we cant keep a cleansheet either. today against norwich they slowly took command of the game in the second half and they looked more professional than city. towards the end we looked absolutely clueless.

Leicfox Posted 31 December 2005 Share Posted 31 December 2005 Of course. Can't see there being a major ship out though. Hopefully only a few players like Tiatto etc. Me neither, the spine of the team is ok imo, its just filling the supporting roles thats the big problem.

Ultra Posted 31 December 2005 Share Posted 31 December 2005 Four of the next five league games are away from home. Given that our record on the road is now the worst in the league, the signs do not look good. The Spurs game will show the watching nation just how deeply the rot has set in. If they give us a hiding, as seems probable, then maybe, just maybe, the board will be compelled to act. I cannot understand who anyone who has watched the last three home games can seriously argue for the Caledonian calamity to stay. Poor team selection and cronyism has led to a complete lack of spirit and motivation throughout the team. His record of failure can no longer be tolerated. Get rid. And the sooner, the better!

ithuriel Posted 31 December 2005 Share Posted 31 December 2005 personally unless we change the manager now i think we are down. im feeling pretty down in regards to lcfc at the moment and i cant see us avoiding the drop under Craig. we have played six games in december and managed two points at home against teams below us. we have won just five in twenty six. we play palace away next who also seem to be getting their act together.

Excuse my posting on your board, but I think you need to get some encouragement from your goal difference - I always feel that this is in some way an indicator of a team's real strengths, and with -6 you compare very favourably to the four below you (-15, -14, -19 & -22) and your potential position is at least mid table. Good luck, but hope you don't improve this on Monday at our expense!

Thracian Posted 31 December 2005 Share Posted 31 December 2005 Hello, in your opinion do you think we will get relegated this season? I think we will find form and climb the table towards the end of the season. Views? Are you for real?. I've enquired about tickets. If anyone starts playing worse than we've done lately there'll be a steward's enquiry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_lcfc Posted 1 January 2006 Share Posted 1 January 2006 i think the only reason we will not relegated is because there are 3 teams worser than us but only just 3.. id settle for 4th bottom of the league from now on in would y'all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(though both Millwall and Brighton have taken points off us at Selhurst) Welcome to the forum and thanks for the positive comments. The goal difference may show that we have strengths in certain respects but it also highlights our major weakness... we don't have a goalscorer. If we did, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now. I'd say good luck to you for tomorrow, but, I really, really, wouldn't mean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 2 January 2006 Share Posted 2 January 2006 Alright, only 19 more games to go in this year's Championship season. As well all know, Gillingham had 50 points last season, but still suffered relegation. With the 26 points that we have right now, that means at least 24 more from the remaining games. In other words, 1.2 points each game, or - at least 8 wins - at least 24 draws - no more than 10 losses, provided that we win all the others Otherwise, League One is calling fast.

supedaj Posted 2 January 2006 Share Posted 2 January 2006 We're in the shit, make no mistake of that. And before anyone mentions Crystal Palace's amazing turnaround a few seasons back, they had actually replaced their manager at the time with Iain Dowie. Levein is certainly not likely to inspire that sort of effect. I don't think there's much chance of Levein being sacked, due to the financial implications. However, if 5 games down the line we continue in the same vein of form, then something will have to be done. We can't afford relegation, it's as simple as that. Although I appreciate what Levein is attempting to do in terms of rebuilding the squad, now is the time to try and grind out some results. We have never fielded a consistent line up because Levein doesn't know his best XI - and we're 25 games in to a season, with a pre-season before that. We may have played well in patches recently, but that is not enough. If we settle for that, then we'll become another Forest. Don't get me wrong, I want Levein to turn things around, but I just can't see it. We almost got relegated last season, and the same pattern is emerging this season. If we do start to go on a run of results and rise up the table under Levein, then I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. well said scowy. can someone please send this to Tim Davies - sums it up very well and if this doesnt make them act swiftly i dont know what will ....

Jon the Hat Posted 2 January 2006 Share Posted 2 January 2006 Four points off the bottom. Unless you have just been promoted that is sacking form. Time's up. We have to try something different whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 2 January 2006 Share Posted 2 January 2006 I've always stood up for Levein and tried to give him as much time as possible. But from the very start I said if we were in the bottom three at Christmas then you have to look at his position. Well we are all but in the bottom three now, the board has some major decisions to make on Tuesday at their board meeting. I don't envy having to make this decision as no matter what they do it can go either way. Whatever happens and whatever they decide i'll support it. They know a lot more facts and figures than we do. If we knew every detail about the club i'm sure some of us would have different opinions. Lets just pray the right decisions are made... i'm rather concerned though that the last few times these decisions needed making they didn't turn out very well.

Katy Posted 2 January 2006 Share Posted 2 January 2006 No body has completely whooped us (as yet) we've been losing by the odd goal and drawing too many games, all these things lead to a massive loss of confidence in the players and a massive step towards relegation if things dont improve. Im deeply worried about this, I cant see where our next win is coming from and I cant see who can realistically replace CL.
