David Hankey Posted 22 February 2015 Share Posted 22 February 2015 Anyone who thinks we'll stay up isn't being realistic. With games running out and being on a losing streak the team aren't capable of doing something now they haven't been able to do all season - go on an unbeaten run. Therefore, relegation is just a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when everyone said we'd not make the play offs, that we'd need a miracle and might as well not bother. I never gave up, I don't want anyone to give up... And you know what, we made it.

josh_baskin Posted 22 February 2015 Share Posted 22 February 2015 A lot of people are judging the outcome of today by last Sunday's performance and yes we looked abysmal but somthing about the way Pearson conducted his work in that game suggested to me he was happy to come out of the cup to concentrate on the league and let villa be burdened by the extra cup fixture! I may be wrong and it could have been just down to his incompetence again but anyone else agree?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong and it could have been just down to his incompetence again but anyone else agree?? I heard Pearson talking about the Villa defeat and think the same. I don't think he has ever been too bothered about any cup competition since he's been manager here. Even in league one, we had a great chance to get to the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy but the league position always takes priority!

gerrytaggart Posted 22 February 2015 Share Posted 22 February 2015 No. Because of one reason that will always go against us, the manager. You can count on him to continue to make selection errors, tactical gaffes and the bad results will follow on. The other teams down there are far more consistent and better than we are, and I'm disgusted by it. Im disgusted by your attitude.Get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayofox Posted 22 February 2015 Share Posted 22 February 2015 I'm not expecting it, but stranger things have happened and it can be done.To be precise, WBA were 5 pts adrift in 2004/5 at this stage of the season, and survived. Also Portsmouth, in 2005/6 were 7 pts off the pack, and still stayed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 22 February 2015 Share Posted 22 February 2015 at 87 minutes today I was sure we'd stay up. now I'm probably more hopeful than confident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 22 February 2015 Share Posted 22 February 2015 No but we will have a chance going into late May. And it's going to look very unlikely even more than it currently does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston. Posted 22 February 2015 Share Posted 22 February 2015 we need a win playing attacking football in a similar vein to last season and the start of his season. the confidence gained would probably convince the manager and the players they can stay up playing that way. the catalyst will be a shock victory against manchester blues.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 22 February 2015 Share Posted 22 February 2015 It's a different PL than previous seasons. In most season the side rooted to the bottom would be atrocious. As much as this season has hurt so far, we have not. Will we stay up? I don't know. It's getting tougher each game. Can we stay up? Well, yes, despite the things stacked against us there's things that are in our favour. Forget the other teams for moment. Look at our games. Are there winnable games? Yes - hull, burnley qpr and Sunderland are must wins. West Ham, Southampton and Newcastle are teams falling into late season syndrome especially with regards to first two. They'll start to drop points when the bigger teams won't and the table will fall into it's usual format. All three are at home as well. Swansea and West Brom are pot luck - they can both be beaten but depends on who turns up for no the teams and tactics!! Spurs falls into this category too simply because we have a good record against them. That leaves Chelsea and Man City as no hope games. That gives us 9/10 games to have hope. Do I think we will stay up - no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 22 February 2015 Share Posted 22 February 2015 I still think we will, a bit of delusion is needed supporting us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
