Thank You STOCKPORT COUNTY

[steward 433]

There's a good reason for that...

Tell me about it!

Did I not read somewhere that statisticaly of the 4 at the bottom on Christmas Day 3 were relegated and 1 team from midtable ish made a sudden drop into that bottom four over the last 3 months of the season.

 

[Nottseagull]

I was watching ssn, when their fourth goal went in I thought "Aw crap, c'mon Yeovil!' then I immediately realised I wanted Yeovil to lose... It's been a busy day.

You numpty, Ackers. You'd better not make such a mistake if watching the Shrewsbury game in a pub!

 

[Nottseagull]

Just noticed that on Boxing Day it's Yeovil v Cheltenham so even if we stay out of it until then then someone below us HAS to get points on that day.

But they could both drop 2 points :yahoo:

 

[Trigger]

But they could both drop 2 points :yahoo:

Which would mean they BOTH gain a point on us.

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

Isn't sad that we are now praising a team who have beaten one of our fellow strugglers so early in the season.
The board need to make one of two choices now; A. Get rid of Adams so that his replacement can get a new coaching team and players in early enough to get us out of the shit or B. Back Adams in the transfer window and hope he gets us out of this mess.
I'm going with option A.

Yeovil 2 - 4 Stockport

That means we spend another 7 days NOT in the demoralising relegation zone of Division 3 of English football

A POSITIVE thought after a dismal night at Withdean

I think it's fair to say it was our pleasure.

And we're above leeds.

 

[Nottseagull]

Which would mean they BOTH gain a point on us.

Which is preferable to one club gaining 3 points on us; at the end of the day (or season!), as the table stands, it only needs one club overtaking us and it's Histon next season.

 

[saltash seagull]

isn't it great to be an albion fan !!

we all realise we are in a relegation battle but we have a manager and a set of players who dont...very worrying

For you optimists out there Bristol City's record was even worse than ours at the same stage p20 w4 d4 l12 including a six match losing streak after they'd changed manager before picking up points over Christmas, they only bought in 5 players and that included Bas Savage and Mark McCammon (on loan from us).

How many points off the playoffs were Bristol at the end of the season?

 

[Theatre of Trees]

How many points off the playoffs were Bristol at the end of the season?

Six

 

[steward 433]

Six

That would be one hell of an achievement if we could copy that!!

 

[Theatre of Trees]

That's an interesting post. What it does show that if you're in the bottom few places at christmas, 90% of the time you'll finish in them.

Statistically of that sample only 14 clubs out of 24 who were in the bottom four at christmas were relegated which with my dodgy maths makes it around 60%

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Agree a lot of changes need to be mde soon as possible.

..but we made a lot of changes in the summer? Good money after bad.

I don't want to criticise your sterling efforts there, but it so difficult to follow when listed in ascending order!

The Football League
Is upside down

If only!

Thank you County, but we'll be in the bottom four by the end of next Saturday anyway.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Now, now - I'd rather not thank Stockport, i had Yeovil in my bet
