The 'R' word.

[The Grockle]

Not meaning to be a doom merchant but everyone here seems convinced we will stay up but we still need at least 10 points to have any chance of avoiding the drop.

I know we have improved almost beyond recognition but I’m still a little worried it could all go wrong and that we could end up doing what Northampton did last season.

Anyone else a little nervous or am I just being a little girl?

 

[Da Man Clay]

Not at all bothered. There are much worse teams than us and we've got some easier games to come. Haven't we played something like 5 of the top 8 in the least 7 games? Our performances against them have encouraged me enough to think we'll stay up comfortably.

It's not the top sides that worry me, it's the two bob sides like Brentford, Oldham and Tranmere that do.

Well the last two bob side we played was Exeter and we comprehensively beat them. My point about the top side was more that if we can show that level of performance against them then there is nothing stopping us against the two bob sides.

 

[Mellotron]

11 games left, to be sure of safety we need 12-14 points. We have enough about us to win another 3-4 and draw quite a few.

Current form is Won 2, Drew 2 and lost 1.

I don't see performances dropping, why would they?

 

[Rookie]

It's still a possibility but we have been playing a lot lot better recently (4-5-1) against the top teams which will have given confidence and can see us being well clear by the end of the season having spanked a few teams in the run in

 

[algie]

Not worried in the slightest.The problems at Southend eg players not being paid,losing key players,winding up orders must affect players moral.They look doomed but they do have an excellent manager at the helm.Exeter are rubbish and are history.God knows how they beat Leeds.I really can't see these two teams escaping.

 

[Brovion]

Not worried at all - well, not today anyway. In our recent games we've had two narrow defeats (Norwich and Swindon) and both those two are top-six sides. Set against that we've had positive results againsts Charlton, Leeds and Colchester as well as comfortably beating one of our bottom-half rivals (Exeter)

If we lose to Brentford, Oldham and Tranmere THEN I migh start to have a few doubts.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Nahhhh, we're safe as houses
If this is being bounced in May after Yeovil have condemned us to League Two football, then I'm sorry for cursing it.

 

[Stoaty Ferret]

I'll feel a lot more confident after we beat Brentford tomorrow night.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I'll feel a lot more confident after we beat Brentford tomorrow night.

We will OWN Brentford 3-0. Mark my words.

 

[Napper]

Slight concern as although we beat Exeter the home record is still a monkey on our back.

I think we'll be alright though

 

[casbom]

I think we'll get mo points away from home for the remaining games, see what you think. These are my predictions:

- Brentford (H) - D
- Oldham (A) - L (gotta lose sometime!)
- Tranmere (H) - W
- Southampton (H) - L
- Hartlepool - (A) - W
- Carlisle (H) - D
- Gillingham (A) - W
- Southend (A) - W
- Bristol Rovers (H) - L (cos we're at home)
- MK Dons - (A) - D
- Yeovil - (H) - L

So based upon that, I make it we'll get 53 points...simples!

When I first saw this thread title I thought it was some kind of oblique reference to the Goldstone and the Toys 'R' Us now situated there, for some bizarre reason!

 

[Sheebo]

Can't see us doing Gills away - their home form is great - would take a draw now on that one!

 

[Sheebo]

f*** me apart from Saints, MK SKUM and Brizzle Rovers all our games are against teams who can still go down... Dunno if that's good or bad!!!!

 

[porkypie]

Nahhhh, we're safe as houses
And they fall down!

 

[NS Herald]

I think most people will be concerned until we are mathematically safe.

The wins against Charlton and Exeter were helped in no small way by 2 wonder strikes from midfielders which we cannot count on.

We need our strikers to score more regularly and with only one on the pitch most of the time and not doing the business of scoring goals it has to be a concern.

Croydon is clearly affecting your judgement
