NewBlue Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'm staggered every time I look at the table and see that we're not dead and buried, well adrift. Clearly some very poor teams at the bottom. Two games in hand and three points from safety wouldn't seem too unassailable if a team could score goals...

Same for me, how we are still within touching distance is amazing, we are :censored:e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Valentine Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The way it's going I reckon mid to late 40 points will be enough to stay up, though that seems miles away from us at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 There are as least 6 terrible excuses for professional football teams in this division (how many games do Bury have to go without a win to hit the bottom) ....... and only 4 can go down. Latics have every chance of staying up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magister Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 We probably have to finish top of a league of 5 to stay up....we are currently bottom of said league. Only 3 points behind I hear you so....we should get them in the next 4 games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Northampton and Port Vale will come into it, plenty of twist and turns to come yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magister Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Northampton and Port Vale will come into it, plenty of twist and turns to come yet. They are 12 and 11 ahead of us respectively. We have got 19'points from 24......we have got 3 points from last 10 games, we have scored 3 goals in those games Has something happened that I have missed?

deyres42 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Half a season to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 By no means a lost cause. But at the same time it's difficult to see where 2 or 3 wins are going to come from....we are probably a little fortunate that there are others almost as bad as us so far. Performance against Vale repeated a few times and I think we could start to pick up some results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 This may shock a few but I'm confident of safety this season if we get the three or four in who we are desperate for, I like Robinson and hope he can turn things around and for me the task isnt as great as it was when Shez had lost his first game last season.

deyres42 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Things can turn around quickly, they will have to do but everyone involved will know that. I'd be surprised if the second half of season is as bad as the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are more confident about staying up this week than for ages. I have been trying to work out why.....the penny has just dropped. We have not played today and the memory of Southend Wimbledon port vale ant the other 13 nils is a week further away in the memory ....

kowenicki Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 It was 0-0. And it was a decent performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) And it was a decent performance. Was it? Anyway, you said if we repeated it we'd start to pick up results. If we repeat it it'll be 0-0 again. Edited January 7, 2017 by HarryBosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because every shot goes in the exact same place and every goalkeeping performance is the same week after week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magister Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Port vale were awful...and drew 0-0. .....their away record was 1 3 7 ...and drew 0-0 .......they lost by a cricket score today...but drew 0-0 with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have got 19'points from 24......we have got 3 points from last 10 games, we have scored 3 goals in those games Has something happened that I have missed? Barnsley went from relegation zone to promotion and Doncaster went from top half to relegation in about half a season last year. Both had massive changes in fortunes. It happens. Whether it happens to us is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not, lose at Mansfield and then what......this hire'n'fire philosophy of recent season's will end in relegation, whether it's this season or next I don't know but eventually it will happen. Every season we change the squad, buy cheap & cheerful, import a succession of disinterested loanees to make up the numbers and then panic buy in January to stave off our annual threat of relegation. Just 1000 extra fans at every home game would generate an extra £500k a year. Spend the money at the beginning of a season for a change and it just might turn things around. Corney is quite happy to just survive in this division but in doing so he's killing this club and it's fanbase. How he's made money in business, God only knows!!!

Of course it can change but my point is ...what have people suddenly seen that tells their head that we are about to go a run? . My heart wants us to get 31 points from next 22 games but my head tells me something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy b Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 My prediction for what it's worth - we will survive, get all excited and optimistic about next season on the back of one or two signings which look good on paper and we will have the same conversation this time next year just as we have done every January for 10 years. And repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
