League One Relegation Thread

[Crewelad87]

Barnsley vs Crewe game is an interesting one today. The winner won't be far from safety whilst the loser could be dragged into it.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

We were supposed to be challenging for promotion this season lol

 

[devilofajob]

All bottom 5 winning!

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

We're in the relegation zone.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Anyone out there who still think we won't go down?

 

[RavenBish]

Lol, we're going down.

Don't care. Went to Derby today, WE'RE GOING UP

 

[Posh Hammer]

We are well and truly in this!

Rochdale fans will vouch for our attendance in this thread now

Having thrown away a two lead to a team with 10 men, this is Pressley's response:

Brilliant for 75 mins
Bravery, dominated
Difficult to play against 10 men
Perfect performance at 2-0
Didnt show enough composure when we conceded
Inexperience was the reason we didnt win
Player efforts incredible
Proud of them
Giving absolutely everything
So many good things

Meh, I suppose but I can't see you going down. You're a little toothless, we haven't helped ourselves in the last few weeks having a striker at left back. Today we actually had a left back playing there and the defence in general looked a lot better than it has done. We need to reach that 50+ points asap then see what else is achievable after that. I think we will probably finish around midtable, which for us is a very good achievement.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Crawley away on the last game of the season..

 

[LuSiVe]

We haven't scored an actual goal for ourselves since Doyle left so I think toothless is an understatement ... Can't see where the next goal never mind points will come from.

Did he mention the group at all?

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

They were outstanding of course.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

The best comment from Pressley was that we lacked experience to hold on...

Well of course we will when you bring on a 17 and 19 year old!

Well, having seen all the good things Pressley has stated I can't see how you fans can be upset lol

 

[Madglover]

WE are gone, I know we got a late goal to draw but it isn't going to be anywhere near enough. League 2 next season and after that who knows

 

[The Terminator]

We'll still go down.

 

[Bottega Don]

We're never ever gonna leave here ffs

 

[dedwardp]

I keep saying if we were in touch of 20th by the end of February then we'll be in a decent enough position, and after six points from these three games we will certainly be at least in touch of 20th.

Decent work, and March is going to be a really big month.

 

[TimeyWimey]

5 point gap is nowt. We've got an absolute bastard of a March.

As a key, I've only made the top 10 blue/promotion chasers for ease sake, so please don't jump down my neck about it. I've also only made the bottom 8 relegation candidates(red) for simplicity.

Mixed bag for the bottom 8. Yeovil needed a late penalty to salvage a point against Gillingham. Looking increasingly bleak for them, stuck at the bottom and with only 1 win in their last 7. Orient got a vital first home win under Liverani and that makes it 2 wins in 3 for them. If they do click, they could be this seasons version of Bristol City/Sheffield United and power to safety. Crawley got a shock win over Swindon and they have back to back wins. Coventry threw away a 2-0 lead at Brammall Lane, those dropped points could prove costly come the end of the season.

Just above the drop zone, Colchester grabbed an incredible home win over Bristol City that could breath new life into their survival bid. The Alex lost back to back away games and slip back towards the bottom 4. Suddenly the optimism that was evident this time last week has disappeared. Barnsley beat the Alex to push themselves away from the bottom 4. They'll definitely need a new manager to stave off relegation if today is anything to go by. Notts County continue to slip down the table, 7 defeats in their last 10. Gone from promotion hopefuls to mid table mediocrity to now relegation candidates. A couple of wins and things might change.

 

[dedwardp]

We lost five games in a row before Christmas, but since then we've picked up 17 points from the last 12 games, in a run that has included trips to Peterborough, Sheffield United, Bradford and Oldham, as well as the two tough games at home to MK and Bristol City this week.

If we can keep that points per game up until the end of the season then it will see us through to 53/54 points and safety, and we have a nicer looking March and April fixtures wise. Really hope we can build on today and pick up some key wins in our next home games with Notts County, Crawley and Yeovil. Well, we need to really.

Ben Garratt out for the rest of the season with a fractured leg.

I'm just gutted. And it's a huge blow, do not underestimate the amount of times he's saved our ass this season. The turn around in mood over the last 7 days has been amazing, after everything seemed to go for us in our good run everything now seems to be working against us.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Crewe will be fine. I think we may be dragged in here in the next few weeks. Got some tough games coming.

Awful news and a big dent in our survival hopes.

Be interesting to see what Davis does about our last loan spot now, he wanted a striker, I heard Ibehere talked about, but now he might need another keeper.

This just echoes of 2008-09 all over again...

I'd rather have a keeper than Jabo 'Poor man's Inzaghi' Ibehre!

Let's just stay away from any lunatics with a Icelandic passport.

I think we need Saturday to come and for a good performance, preferably a win, because right now I'm really quite nervous about the month ahead and I think it's mostly down to just how utterly crap we were at Barnsley. The last two defeats, which I think were totally avoidable, have heaped on so much unneeded pressure. It makes the Rochdale and Scunny games pivotal because we're going to need this five point gap to ride out the next month, and that's without buggering it up against those two.

Hi, the video stopped before the 'world class save' presumably?
