ithuriel Posted 4 February 2007 Share Posted 4 February 2007 sack him , he may be a nice bloke but he is a poor manager. two thirds of the season gone and staring at a relegation scrap yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potter3 Posted 4 February 2007 Share Posted 4 February 2007 i think you're all deliberately mis understanding what RK said. the 16 point target is a minimum requirement thats all. Still a poor target, considering how poor we've been lately, it might sem like a lot, but the minimum should really be 50% of points from our remaining fixtures, which means 1.5 points per game, which is 22.5 points from 15 games, so if you round that down to 22. 6 wins 4 draws isn't a lot to ask is? Or maybe it is, how about 5 wins 7 draws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbo mills Posted 4 February 2007 Share Posted 4 February 2007 16 points is realistic for leeds southend and barsnley so we are snookered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 4 February 2007 Share Posted 4 February 2007 Im not too sure whether 16 points will be enough. Other teams below us are starting to pick up points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gist Posted 4 February 2007 Share Posted 4 February 2007 It's a disgrace for him to come out and say that and if he is telling the players this and they start to take games even more lightly then we are going to be in deep trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 5 February 2007 Share Posted 5 February 2007 "We're not kidding ourselves, we're not playing great, or anywhere near as well as we can play, but that's because we're short of players."When you've got all your players fit, you pick the players who are in form. At the moment we are having to pick the players who are fit. "There's miles to go. I'm not looking or thinking about relegation. I know that when we have our players fit, we are capable of winning." And I thought a Kelly post-match after a loss left a lot to be desired. Newell is a ****smudge. If I heard that crap from Kelly when we were 1 point clear of relegation zone I'd be ropable.

shiv Posted 5 February 2007 Share Posted 5 February 2007 Leeds, Norwich, Cov, Wolves, Southend, Barnsley. All winnable. there's 18 points. with our inconsistency i doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 February 2007 Share Posted 5 February 2007 I can't believe he's said that. Setting a target is all well and good but what good is a target where it'd be dodgy whether we stayed up or not?? Personally I think 16 points is realistic. Win 3 Draw 7 Lose 6 for example. But how the f**k do you motivate a team with a publicly-declared target like that?! I realise he said it's a minimum but that is far too low even as a minimum - we don't want to be going into the last two or three games with a serious question mark over our status. His minimum target should be to secure safety with three or four games to go. Wow. Oh and also, I bet that impressed Mandaric no end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, not even a blind optimist should be talking about the playoffs at this present time. Have you followed us all season? Do you know Rob Kellys team tactics?! I hope your post was sarcastic . As I keep saying - we should first make avoidance of relegation a mathematical certainty before we turn our attentions to anything else this season. It'd be foolish to do otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RK is negative. Fact. 16 points from 16 games as a public target shows that. I'm not necessarily a negative person, more cautious, because I know what our form has been like over the course of this season and the inconsistency isn't at all good. Just 3 games ago, we were all talking like relegation was a real possibility. Now we're begining to mention playoffs?!?! Ludicrous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in terms of being a double figure points tally away from relegation and a similar figure from the playoff spots? We thought we were safe then and began dreaming, took our foot off the gas and got raped. Went on a horrific run, didn't win for ages, lost a few and were right back into the relegation quagmire. Which is why I'm not counting my chickens until they hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

day breaks but night falls Posted 21 February 2007 Share Posted 21 February 2007 When this happened earlier in the season, we had injuries, suspensions and players that didn't realy care as they knew they would get paid. Now they have stepped up as they know they could be playing for their place in the team and even at the club, with three new signings supposedly coming in this week, i'l put my scraggy, triple-neck on the line and say we will finish in the top ten this season.
