Relegation Thread 2017/18

[woburn]

That will do us nicely, gives us a fighting chance and puts others under pressure.

 

[DippyDon]

10 points from 12 is impressive, and needed too considering our next two games are Blackburn and Wigan.

Well, MK's win last night has thrown a spanner in the works. Quite simply, we must win against Charlton today, if we don't I think we'll have given ourselves too much to do in the last few games and there won't be any coming back. Hoping Fleetwood can win away at Wimbledon, coupled with a win for us that drag us out of the drop zone.Tough games for Oldham and Dale, but strange things happen at this stage of the season.

If Oxford lose again today they could slowly be slipping deeper into the mire, especially with a tough game on Easter Monday.

The fourth relegation spot is ours so hands off.

5th play 6th on Monday when we visit Scunny, should be a quite important in terms of the run-in so has draw all over it.

 

[gary]

Well i'm not sure how the ref deemed that pitch playable to be honest!!!!.In saying that we are crap so i doubt it wouldve made any difference.Only one fit forward.No idea how we are going to score,let alone win a game!!!

 

[Parchpea]

Sheridan reckons 4 more points for us and we are safe.

At home against Bristol Rovers Monday but even 6 unbeaten still only 1 home win for 5 months. Wasn’t sure about Sheridan but we where 8 losses straight before his arrival, 3 draws 3 wins since.

Be a tidy lump sum for him but if we survive and possibly a permanent job.

 

[EricSabin]

In a season of disgraceful performances today we saw the worst of the lot. I can't even put into words how bad it was, AND YET WE ARE STILL ONLY 2 POINTS ADRIFT?!! How shit are the rest of you down here?!

Sack JFH tonight and we may have a chance.

Worse than the 0-6 against us?? Blimey that takes some beating.

Likewise. We are utter shit. We have one fit striker. How the fuck are you still below us.

Much much worse

We're dreadful! Nothing about us at all, first (and only) shot on target came after 64 minutes

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Do all teams get a free penalty for absolutely no reason in each game or is it just us

 

[Pugwash]

Given the conditions it was very helpful to be a cod and not a womble. Despite Wimbledon’s best efforts to get the game abandoned after they went behind we managed to hang on for a priceless 3 points. Team should now be full of confidence for the remaining games and barring a total ****-up reckon we can begin to look forward to next season in this league.

 

[Wombling Kiwi]

The fourth relegation spot is ours so hands off.

Not looking good at all. one could call it dire.

 

[gary]

If we had won,drawn or lost that pitch was unplayable regardless.The game should've been abandoned simple as that.If the ball stops in a puddle how can that be deemed playable.

Got to say having watched brief highlights, the conditions were horrendous, fair play to your manager who I guess could have insisted on match being abandoned. First time we have ever beaten you lads so the timing was great. Just as well we have managed to get some points on the board with Millers away next Sat, then an interesting derby with that lot up the road and Wigan at home. Makes Mondays game with Gasheads even more crucial to win

 

[gary]

Well i was hoping neal ardley might've sunk into the ground.He's dug himself a big enough hole !!!!!!!!

 

[Gills4years]

I think we are reintroducing ourselves to this thread as our form has started going off a cliff.
Making Sarfend look like Barcelona this afternoon...

Next season yes but you’re pretty unlikely to go down now

 

[woburnsandsdon]

Wasn't expecting to get anything from Blackburn, but came away feeling a bit gutted, 3 great saves from their keeper and a definite penalty for handball not given, whose next ? O Wigan

 

[Hurrikeen]

Great set of results for us, our own win included.

 

[hold'um Oldham]

Blackpool were crap today and we ain' much better. They are probably too far clear to be dragged into it but definitely one of the poorer teams to come to boundary park.

There's been much talk about us going down but I've never really felt the pressure. We have games in hand and even though we deserve to be where we are I still think we will finish comfortably clear. It's completely in our hands.
It' probably one of the more important survival battles in our 20 year stint here because I'm guessing AL will look to put his stamp on the club in summer and really get his teeth into it. We will see what we can expect going forward when we kick off in august. For me there isn' too much concern that that will be a level below, but I do expect improvement next season

 

[gary]

I reckon we will go down.I just don't think we are good enough.As soon as we go behind in a game it's all over.The supporters have no confidence in the management .I dont think the players do either!!

 

[PuB]

We're sleep walking our way back in to contention.

You play us on saturday, don't worry about a thing.

Pfft you can't just turn up and expect to earn a relegation that some of us have been working months for

To be fair we looked nailed on for the drop at Christmas, we're doing this in style.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Fancy Bury to finally turn up in this derby and put a dent in Rochdale’s survival push.

You probably need 4 more points. There’s absolutely no way you’ll be going down.
