Bristolatic Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) While we have the eyes of the nation on us, we could already have dropped another place in the League. If Bury should manage to beat Sheffield United at Gigg Lane on Tuesday night, they go above us on goal difference with the same games played. Then on Saturday, by the time we kick off, they will have played Coventry, also at home. On Tuesday, Scunthorpe are at home to Carlisle, but will have played a game more whilst Preston are at Yeovil and will have played the same games as us. Never have I wanted Sheffield United, Coventry, Carlisle and Yeovil to win more than now. We know we're in a scrap, but we sure as hell don't want to be chasing the likes of Bury and Scunny. Beating Everton would be incredible, but it shows how much more important the League is. Edited February 11, 2013 by Bristolatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not bothered about anyone else, we need to concentrate on getting another 7 wins IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 There's no point worrying over something beyond your control. We can't do anything about anyone else next weekend and we'll still have fifteen games left to get out of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) If we beat Everton and drew Arsenal away (which is going to happen) the losses from potentially going down (which wont happen anyway) will have been more than offset in comparison to if we would ahve lost vs Doncaster.

Dave_Og Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Preston (1 pt from 15), Stevenage (6pts from 24) and MK Dons (8pts from 21) in varying degrees of freefall. Hope one or more of them can get dragged in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 One of the more bizarre appointments of recent times, abrasive, brash Southener trying to impose his own brand of anti football and gamesmanship on a Northern club and their supporters- what could possibly go wrong?

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 While its good to be optimistic, I dont like it when people say we wont go down or we are too good to be relegated. After 30 games this season we have shown we are bad enough to go down. We need to really dig in and show we are good enough to stay up now. Another 7 wins is a tall order even if we do have an upturn in results, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 30 games this season we have shown we are bad enough to go down. We need to really dig in and show we are good enough to stay up now. Another 7 wins is a tall order even if we do have an upturn in results, Weve also shown in induvidual games that we have the ability in the squad to stay up if we play like we did on saturday consistantly between now and the end of the season we are going to stay up . That big word consistancy again its basically the difference between top and bottom in this division. We've only got ourselves to blame their really is no excuse for going down they have the ability we all know that they just have to show it.

losesome Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 do we play any of the teams around us ? We have still to play virtually the whole bottom half of the league. Don't know why people are worried, Said before and will say again, Who ever manages us , by the time the end of the season comes we will be saying - "if only we had him from the start" This group of players is good enough to get into the play offs. All we need is a good enough manager to take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 do we play any of the teams around us ? We've got Portsmouth, Hartlepool and Colchester at home; and Shrewsbury and Bury away. It's still in our own hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We need to enjoy Saturday for what it is - a no lose situation. We've fully expected to get knocked out and if we don't it'll be marvellous. We can go back to worrying about the league once it's out of the way. We have 15 games left. If the players put in a shift in every one of them, we should be fine. They've got enough quality to pick up the required number of points if the do. After Liverpool and MKD there must be confidence in the dressing room that they can do better than they have so far this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
