Win our home games and we'll be okay. I know that there have been some surprises in this division but the reason teams are down there is because they are not consistent, and they won't win that many games either. Win at the weekend and that table looks a whole lot brighter.

General lee Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 More chance of shannon matthews mum closing her legs then there is of us staying up.

lavrentis Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 More chance of shannon matthews mum closing her legs then there is of us staying up. That's one way to put it.
wirralsimon Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 We'll beat Sheff W on the last day of the season and send them down in an open flowing game of attractive football played in a relaxed atmosphere. Maybe not! Simon
davieG Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 We'll beat Sheff W on the last day of the season and send them down in an open flowing game of attractive football played in a relaxed atmosphere.Maybe not! Simon Definitely not as we play Stoke.
General lee Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 Definitely not as we play Stoke. I think he meant at home If not, he's very stoooopid.
Thracian Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 We're like a fish on a hook. We rush for the reeds and get hauled in, then make another straining bid for freedom only to be frustrated again. So much effort has been expended trying to escape oblivion over recent years that it almost feels like we're exhausted and are finally losing the will to continue. Maybe there'll still be one more mighty swish of the tail but whether it will be enough to tear ourselves clear of the vicious barbs now gripping us I'm afraid I have my doubts. Trouble is we don't seem to have learned from our experiences and the cold slab is looming ever larger. I've quietly believed we would go down since the Charlton game. Wilfully squandering those two points was asking for trouble. Some things seem inevitable - almost like they're written. There's little more that can be said. I could just do with being wrong. Even a change of luck would be welcome.
Dames Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 Very very slim now. If we even Draw on Saturday its over.
Sods Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 Very very slim now.If we even Draw on Saturday its over. Bollocks. We have 4 games left.
Dames Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 Bollocks. We have 4 games left. If you've noticed other teams have woken up and smelt the coffee and started to grind out results. While were still trudging along getting further and further away from them.
The Reverend Posted 9 April 2008 Posted 9 April 2008 If you've noticed other teams have woken up and smelt the coffee and started to grind out results.While were still trudging along getting further and further away from them. It's in our hands though mate. We have two teams we should beat. And we have a vastly superior goal difference to most around where we are.
Mort Posted 10 April 2008 Posted 10 April 2008 And we have had a vastly superior goal difference to most around where we are. Down to -2, and Wednesday are on -4... it's not offering us the padding it was until a few weeks ago.
C-man Posted 10 April 2008 Posted 10 April 2008 We beat Weds 2-0 away, and 4 wins are certainly not what required to keep us in this division. Win our home games and we'll be okay. I know that there have been some surprises in this division but the reason teams are down there is because they are not consistent, and they won't win that many games either. Win at the weekend and that table looks a whole lot brighter. Exactly. We'd probably be up to around 18th or 19th and everyone will be saying that we're favourites to stay up! However, there's no point in predicting how many points other teams will get because it is just impossible. 7 Points from our next 3 games will give us a chance going into the last day.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 10 April 2008 Posted 10 April 2008 The main question is do the players have the spirit on Saturday and does it mean as much to them as it does us
Ultra Posted 10 April 2008 Posted 10 April 2008 It's in our hands though mate. We have two teams we should beat. And we have a vastly superior goal difference to most around where we are. Correction - there are THREE teams we should beat. And it's not beyond possibility we could win at Stoke too. Let's remind ourselves of the results in the reverse fixtures: Colchester 1 Leicester 1 Leicester 2 Barnsley 0 Sheff W 0 Leicester 2 Leicester 1 Stoke 1 Remember also that these results were achieved when the team were under the rule of the dead hand of Megson and his henchmen, with less depth than will be available in the next four games. Even given the shock result last night, it would still take an act of mind-blowing ineptitude to take us down from this position. Unfortunately, the manager in charge for these critical clashes has already demonstrated on numerous occasions that he is more than capable of that.
surrifox Posted 10 April 2008 Posted 10 April 2008 the sides at the top cannot be relied on to make life tough in their fixtures against our relegation rivals as anyone looks capable of beating anyone else (last night's result in the barnsley watford game was terrible for us) . Think we will draw v Colchester and Barnsley and lose the other 2. We have looked like relegation fodder for most of the last couple of seasons and really believe we are f***ed now.
Monk Posted 10 April 2008 Posted 10 April 2008 Crunch time guys. I'm quite glad I'll be out of the country and in the middle of nowhere at the end of the season! I'm hoping for a great atmosphere on Saturday and a hearty win. We need it so so desperately. Failing to win on Saturday doesn't relegate us, no, but it will put us in a situation stickier than when sticky the stick insect got stuck in a sticky bun.
