The Relegation Thread 16/17

[JJH]

Surely if the Blues are 'in the shit' we want Ipswich to win, dropping them further in to the mix?

you're right, my bad, I've edited it mate.

 

[El Guapo]

El Guapo's gone very quiet in recent weeks I've noticed.

There’s nothing to come here for these days than to dick-wave in the Away Support thread.

Will probably be more active if we are still in contention of relegation after we've played Burton.

 

[markwwfc1992]

We have got Cardiff, Forest and Bristol City as our next 3. Think those games will define if we'll be safe or drop into the relegation battle.

 

[TractorBoys]

Well, that pretty much went as predicted, apart from Mick even managing to outdo himself and start Douglas, I thought we'd got past that? Still maintain that this is uncomfortable but we're just about going to fall over the line. I imagine the gap will continue to close as the games run out.

Great result for Burton, they're certainly the happiest of the bottom 8 after today's results I imagine.

Behave.

You're 8 points clear with a game in hand, having won your last *4 and unbeaten in 5! Not to mention some favourable fixtures to come

Jackson Irvine is so good, wish we had a midfielder like him.

Edited for accuracy. Can we have a defence, a forward line and a new Manager as well please?
I reckon we've had it. Everyone else is picking up points and fighting for their lives, we're just crap due to the worst coach we've ever had.

 

[El Guapo]

We need a minimum of two wins but I don't think we've got a win left in us now...

Brighton (A) LOSE
Derby (H) LOSE
Rotherham (A) DRAW
Burton (H) DRAW
Aston Villa (A) LOSE
Huddersfield (H) DRAW
Bristol City (A) LOSE

We'll need a win from somewhere if Blackburn win 3 of their last 7.

Perk up, you'll beat Rotherham & us. Point gained for you today.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Didn't expect that in a month of Sunday's. Great win. Delighted.
Jackson Irvine is an absolute diamond. No doubt we will lose him in the summer.
Good job we won as we will get Nothing from Newcastle away on Tuesday.

 

[big mean bunny]

Big win for us today. Hit form at the right time, think if we win our game in hand we should hopefully have given ourselves enough cushion to stop worrying about D1.

 

[roversfan2001]

Didn't think I'd be so worried after today but we could have done without Burton winning. Forest away is huge now, as is Bristol City at home. Get 3 points before Easter weekend and I'm confident we'll have enough.

Wigan at home on Tuesday is imo our best chance of getting one more win which would see us safe. Newcastle and Sheffield Wednesday at home both likely to be loses. Fulham away will be another likely defeat which leaves away games at Rotherham (who we gave their only away point), Burton and them Forest last day (we never win there).

The club is slowly dying and the owner couldn't care less.

A 5% discount incentive if we get 12750 season tickets next season, the fans response today "you're 'avin a laugh!"

I couldn't go today. What was your assessment of the match, a draw was a fair result?

Probably but then our goal was a fluke. Although on the replays, yours looked offside

 

[Tom_ITFC]

This is why I fear we'll be dragged further into this as the season end closes in. It's everyone's fault but his own/Evans

[Ciderhead]

Well at least everyone else lost. 4 home games and Blackburn away in the last 6, still reckon we'll scrape it.

 

[mossypne]

After playing both Rovers and Bristol City recently, i think City are fucked. Blackburn will play them off the park if City play anything like they did tuesday.

Probably right.

 

[Bartonyellow]

We also have 4 home games from 6. I think we need 7-9 points to stay up.
Basically 3 wins.
I think we can do it. Just.

Quite possibly. And yet you'd never have guessed that same team smashed Huddersfield a couple of weeks previous, I'd bet!

 

[hodge]

If we turn up to televised games lets just hope Brighton have nothing to play for the when we play them in front of the cameras

 

[SMH]

Best case scenario for us is Burton coming down as they'd struggle to challenge next season under Clough. Worse case scenario is Bristol City coming down. With the money and players they have that would be one of the top two spots sorted out, leaving the likes of us, Pompey and co scrapping for the other spot. Personally I still think it'll be Bristol City but I think it'll go to the last day.

 

[hodge]

Tbh if it goes to the last day of the season and we're not in the bottom three I think we could survive. We have Brum at home while Burton have Reading at home and Blackburn are away at Brentford, so if either of those could still go down I would back us out of the three.

Just not convinced we will be out of the drop zone.

You'll be dick-waving with Northampton, Rochdale and Doncaster fans soon enough. I'm gutted and will think of you all often. Hopefully you will become WABLO.

 

[Ciderhead]

Bad day for Blackburn

 

[Craig]

It's all going Pete Tong.

 

[roversfan2001]

Well that's us down - just waiting for it to be confirmed on Easter Monday.

 

[SMH]

Had a little taster of League One life today. A match totally devoid of quality between two absolutely abysmal teams. However they combined their awfulness together to create the most entertaining game of the season. Barnsley will absolutely smash us on Thursday if we play like that today, looking like we'll be officially relegated either at Brighton on Easter Monday or at home to Cardiff on the Saturday after.

Awful day for Rovers, said before I'd be happy with them coming down. Think they may stuggle to get back at the first attempt with the bang average Mowbray in charge, but then again it's a garbage league as Bolton are proving.

 

[roversfan2001]

That's our only hope, bouncing back straight away to inject some belief into the fanbase with a good season - albeit in the third tier.

Shows how far we came with that good spell that we can lose 3-1 and it not effect the mood of my Saturday what so ever. Hopefully Lambert has learnt that spell is due to Costa and Cavaleiro. Still not sure what I think on Lambert, if he was removed end of season I wouldn't moan or care at all really.
