Relegation Thread 2017/18

Never considered Wycombe a good away day in fairness, it's just a bit boring all round. I suppose any of the above can be fun in the right circumstances, but can't say I'm thrilled about getting to go back to Luton again...

Hey Joe, I can remember Luton banning all away fans. Hope it wasn't down to you.

Seeing as I wasn't born then, probably not

I liked Wycombe. Think Adams Park is a class stadium

 

[GFCSludge]

I fucking hate Wycombe, once you've been relegated at a place it kinda tarnishes it.

The view from the away end is lovely. If you get bored by the football, you can admire the surrounding hills and the birds (red kites?) circling. The surrounding industrial units leave much to be desired.

 

[Gassy]

I can't stand Wycombe - cheats.

However, it would be nice to have a more local(kinda) team

 

[PuB]

Wycombe is shit, anyone who says otherwise is a plain liar

 

[Shrimpurh]

Hasn't Wycombe got the pound in the pot strippers? Decent.

They do.

 

[joethegill]

Classy!

You might aswell stay in the Forresters for that.

It's just not the same when it's yours though.

 

[SkyBluesRose]

Any Fleetwood fans want to explain what is going on with your team?

 

[Lancs@(Bantam)]

they've hit their ceiling and are now falling back down by the looks.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Officially checking out!

 

[OUFC Dan]

Officially checking in! :giphy:

 

[womble76]

Trust me you do not need to check in. The sides below you including us are woeful.

I like Burton as an away day, really good away stand for getting a decent atmosphere
Ideally one of Birmingham or Reading would join them but unlikely, but with at least 2 northern clubs, and Shrews looking like going up that straight away is 1 more local game for us, maybe more if we get lucky

Luton is a better away day than MK and Wimbledon, Wycombe, Notts, Mansfield and the scum are all better too, so hopefully get at least 2 of them, and if Accrington or lincoln join them then they're no worse than Rochdale or Bury anyway, at least they're likeable clubs (nothing against Rochdale, but Bury are filth)

Looks like it's going to be a much better league for us southerners next year at least

 

[EricSabin]

Fixtures this week

Fleetwood v Portsmouth (Tuesday)
Rochdale v MK Dons (Wednesday)

Bury v Gills
Fleetwood v MK Dons
Northampton v Oxford
Oldham v Southend
Peterborough v Wimbledon
Portsmouth v Blackpool
Rotherham v Doncaster
Walsall v Blackburn
Wigan v Rochdale

Some big old games, can't see many wins for the strugglers in that lot.
Great opportunity for us to beat an Oxford side who've lost 5 in 6 and never beat us (Oxford win then)

 

[Bobbin']

The next 5 days could either save MK or finish them off. Two big 6 pointers on the trot.

 

[UTS]

I’m starting to think last night was the final nail in the coffin.

10 adrift, 13 games left and Fleetwood in 20th have a game in hand on us.

They'll be fine with flash Dan Miccice in charge...

 

[Gassy]

Nail in the coffin? Blimey there are still 13 games left!

Relegation teams always pick up points at the end of the season. Every year we talk about how X points are needed to stay up but it will be lower this year because the league is so poor - the worst it’s been in my life time etc etc. And what happens? As always the top teams drop points and the bottom teams pick up points as they start to fight for their lives. And in the end? We hit the same points as we do every year...

 

[T.A]

We need a win on Saturday. Going to be difficult v a strong Gills team though.

It’s going well so far, admittedly.

We’ve picked up 26 points from 33 games... lost 20 of those. We need at least 25 points from the remaining 13.

Did you watch us last night? Just an awful ‘team’.. decent individuals but no closing down, awful communication, no creativity and terrible decision making in front of goal.

We need Beckford in this situation maybe if we had him available we’d be alright but sums up the season that he isn’t.

I didn’t - I was more talking about the points needed for safety

 

[Bottega Don]

Just me who didn’t think Bury were that bad last night? There didn’t seem to be too much difference between the two teams. Just individual mistakes and Dack being pretty good the defining factors.

 

[DippyDon]

Can't see us winning any remaining games. All your dreams will come true and we'll be back in League 2 soon

"Dreams coming true" would be the club going bust and restarting in the 12th tier .....

Oh and Stadium MK being pulled down.
