The proper relegation thread.

[LordJord]

I did forget they appointed Tisdale.

O’Toole who’s actually been superb for us since signing the other month, was actually training with Stevenage but their previous manager was not given the funds to sign him. Big mistake from whoever runs them.

Are you playing John-Joe as a CB or CM out of curiosity. An odd character but hes an absolute legend here.

 

[GTFCfish]

Scunny trying to draw their way to safety it would seem.

We also tried it last season, it doesn’t work.

CB and he’s been rock solid in pretty much every game he’s played, we are trying to extend it now but do have competition.

Would be magical to have him for longer, he’s been a real star here, like stephen quinn he’s not a spring chicken anymore but having both of them in the team is a massive bonus for us.

He just reads the game so well, and like tuesday night against carlisle when we were hanging on for the win he’s there dragging us through - we actually look half organised in defence.

You should organise a themed day of some sort to celebrate him, he always rises to the occasion on those

Marc Richards.

What a bloke.

Some guy. First team coach at our place atm.

Can you all conspire to get Colchester relegated?

Thanks

Think we can all agree that Carlisle are not in this dogfight anymore after their win on Saturday, good as safe now.

They're the form team in this division.

 

[Railway Blue]

They're the form team in this division.

I always keep an eye on Barrow and am feeling that they need a win and quick.

It's weird because (to me at least) it doesn't feel like we're that bad - creating chances but wasting them, and daft mistakes at the back. I've never really felt like we're in danger, but our form from the end of September onward is relegation form.

 

[shoddycollins]

We're definitely still in it; we're three points clear of the drop, it's hardly an unassailable margin for the teams below us. I'd say the current bottom six are the ones currently in it.

Nah safe to assume you're safe now and out of the battle

These next 3 games, all at home, on paper would present a chance for us to pull away from danger.

Bradford
Crawley
Hartlepool

If we are to have any chance of staying up, we need to be getting a minimum of 6 or 7 points from these games because our fixtures after that are horrendous. But I don’t think we will, we’ll be lucky to get 1 or 2 points from them unless we make some impressive signings within the next week which we all know won’t happen.

It’s well known that I think we’re going down, but If we don’t get enough from these games then surely others will have to admit it as well.

looking at who Oldham and Scunthorpe are playing while we play those three games though, I wouldn't expect them to pick up any points, so 4 or 5 points from three games could see us 7 or 8 points clear of the drop, I'd hesitate to say that we need more than that to have any chance of staying up.

Any current mid tablers likely to fall from grace? There always seems to be one that goes on some horrific run.

There's three points from Crawley. You nearly always beat us. I'd be celebrating a draw if we could get one!

You beat us this season, and didn't you beat us last season too?

Nah we've got a January WARCHEST we're willing to spunk.

I would hope it isn't us im expecting us to improve on the first half of the season....but you never know!

 

[BarraMatt]

45 could be enough.

 

[Chief Rocka]

45 could be enough.

Easily right, maybe even less?

 

[BarraMatt]

Bloody hope so, means we are half way there.

 

[northstandexile]

Forest Green are safe then.

 

[FGR Stroud]

Forest Green are safe then.

For this year at least.

 

[Sestonpoolie]

We've started already....oh,hang on minute.
