I hope you have all noticed that this week all promoted teams got a right good hammering. This is due to early season enthusiasm and energetic effort wearing out and other teams working them out. You will see a steady decline for them towards the relegation spots. We have to make sure we don't stand in their way.

Treading water like this is becoming embarrassing for all concerned, a change of direction and thinking may be what's needed.The flip side of that is that if the club'a value is low enough the likes of the richest hairdresser in Hong Kong get tempted.It sure as hell isn't great having Randy as owner, but the recent to medium term history of that lot and Wolves, not to mention several other clubs around the country show how wrong it can go when you've got an owner who wants out at any price.

This year is different. I can't think of one reason why we will stay up and I can't think of one team more likely to drop than us. As far as I'm concerned we have zero chance of staying up and it's just a case of waiting to have it confirmed.
It's looking very much like we'll really struggle if Sherwood stays. However as I said on the Other Games thread, 37-39 points normally keeps you up, that means we need 33-35 points from 29 games to stay up. With a manager in charge that knows what he's doing that's not exactly difficult.

You genuinely don't believe another manager can get this squad getting just over a point a game? You seem to be basing your reply on Sherwood, which isn't what I said.
