are we counting our chickens yet?

[Publius Ovidius]

Bradscum have the Cheats away on Saturday who are also fighting for their lives and the Millwall the following satdi, who Hudds just thrashed 4-2.

So are we all 100% confident, or do we think it will come down to the last day?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Six points clear of Bradford with a seven goal difference advantage...

Yep, Safe.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

one ... two ...... three ..... four ......... blast.

one ... two... three ...four

 

[Blackadder]

After Saturday's results, we are safe.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

excellent, thank goodness for that


Time to put away the worry beads for next season and start practicing the golf swing

 

[Mendoza]

We are allegedly "celebrating" 10 years since leaving the goldstone, so what better way to do it than a last game of the season away from home match, where we play a team who could also go down, and the loser of the match gets relegated?

 

[Soul Finger]

Bradscum?

wtf

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I dont think relegation will be an issue if you dont mind staying up on goal difference!

Brighton stay up on points.

The point is you can predict all day, nobody canbe sure what will happen.

 

[Ding Dong !]

Can't see it happening, but still going to be close !!!

 

[Scoffers]

Why not? Haven't you just aptly demonstrated that we won't be going down?

You might think so, but you can see us losing our last two in that fashion, but agree that Bradford are unlikely to get those results, but the point is, it's not completely out of the question.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Ok then...supplementary

those people who said they would just be happy to stay up this year...if we do stay up on goal difference, would you be happy we did that, or would you be questioning how a team can so quickly go into freefall from the giddy heights of beating teams like West Ham away not that many moons ago!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Stay up by five points or goal difference means the same thing, staying up.

I think that Wendy did enough to keep us up, is now playing his kids to give them some more experience, and he is doing exactly what I would be doing if I were him.

He knows he will have some pretty fundamental changes to make over the summer with senior players likely to leave for one or another reason, he knew we were not going to challenge, so he is putting the blocks in for next term.

Class act that Dean.
