This is the season...

[oswald funkletrumpet]

two wins from the next 3 minimum
never mind the next ten games

That would us back in touching distance and give us some belief. A couple of new players in by that point too. Play like we did second half yesterday, for the whole game and who knows.

the worry is that 2 wins in the next 3 still will still leave us requiring 25 points from 18 games so win 8 draw one lose 9

hence the next 3 games being so important

Problem is I can't remember the last time we played consistently well for an entire game. For a long time now we've talked about "Let's hope that was our bad half" etc.

Despite coming away yesterday feeling quite pleased with our second half display a look at the table this morning has left me thinking it's insurmountable.

[Steve67]

Got to start somewhere chaps!! FWIW I also think we have too much to do but playing without pressure or at least with some belief and fresh blood and who knows? The problem is, this seems to be a freak year where even the bottom clubs are beating the team's at the top (except for us). Nothing seems to be going to script.

[Risso]

We're down and people need to get used to that.  We'd need around another 30 points from 21 games, and having won 1 game all season, that just isn't going to happen.  That's either 10 wins, or say 7 wins and 9 draws.  Isn't going to happen, we just don't have the players to achieve it.

[OzVilla]

I was quite encouraged by yesterday's performance but then I look at the table.  It's still doable but I think we'll know by the 4th Jan.

We'll either be back inthe fight or preparing for the Championship.

I took some comfort in yesterday's draw but Newcastle were poor. Still think we're going down but at least I think we will avoid the lowest points tally.

[Chris Smith]

We probably are down but we still need to act as though we believe we can get out of it rather than just throw in the towel. Even if the miracle doesn't happen we at least put ourselves in a better place for next season.

[Jimbo]

I think Garde is cautiously trying to grind out as many draws, and as few losses as he can before the transfer window. With new players on board, I think he'll be a lot more adventurous. If we can catch up with the pack, who knows what might happen. We do have some very capable players already, who might look a lot better with one or two more competent players around them.

This! If we can string an entire 90 together like the second 45 yesterday then we might have a shout.
Huge ask though. Some reinforcements in Jan and added confidence from some good results (we hope) then who knows.....

We're down. There's been minimal improvement like scoring in 3 of the last 4 games but the 'elephant' is that we're still not winning games and not deserving of winning them either. We are still rubbish.

[Gregorys Boy]

I think the next few games our key to our season, we need to beating the teams around us to at least give us a fighting chance.  Get into  January with one or two results going our way, and one or two solid buys then I can see a foundation.  Otherwise I think we're down and should start planning for life in the Championship.

sadly this is true.

I think Jan transfer policy will be dictated by our next 3 games. 7-9 points and we'll go for it.  Anything like 4 or under and it'll be about preparing for life in the Championship, little or no spend.

We can't let the 10 point gap grow anymore, this must be the largest that gap becomes or else its over. Basically, the next 3 games determine whether we'll be in the fight to stay up or just marking time to relegation IMO.

[john e]

6/1 at most bookies to stay up,
 you would have thought as everyone thinks we are 'gone' it would be nearer 33/1

maybe they still believe
