We are going down

[Sirius76]

Do you really think 50 points is enough?

We need promotion form to get out of this because of the points difference now. We could need 53 points if either Swansea or Orient win 6 or 5 with a few draws.

Not impossible but we basically need 6 wins with 3 draws. 21 points in 13 games.

That'll be Swindon I imagine, but can't see either of them teams getting too many more points though.

I mentioned on an earlier thread that 50 points wouldn't be enough to stay up in League 1 this season , I think we need 52 to stay up.

Well Crewe have won 5 in 6 so should be able to get another 16 points in 12 games. Yeovil is the only other realistic team we can catch and they only need 15 points in 12 games to get to 53 points which is basically not much different to the form they have been in all season.

We have to beat the rest but there are three other teams with a chance and if any of those three get reasonable form (ie. 1.5 points per game) then we will be looking at 53 points to survive.

Certainly seem to be making a bit hard work of pulling out of that bottom four - and gradually becoming adrift of the safety zone

Way to support the new manager, people

 

[Gordon the Gopher]

sounded like we were pumped up today especially Al-Bangora the late goal is going to have knocked confidence though. Hope he is good at getting players up again

He pulled yeovil out of a slump with 4 wins on the trot. They do not have the quality of players we have. Our luck is due to change, we have a decent manager and players on their way back. We can do! The 'we are definitely down' comments are complete bollocks made by people who love to feel sorry for themselves!

 

[vulture]

how the f*** are we doomed ffs.....its 4 points with 13 games to go and we have games in hand

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

How come it all looks so much worse after one defeat ?
Ok did not look graet but we had 3 teams within 3 points of us and games in hand.
It looks very bleak now

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

although it could look very different with 6 points in the next 2 home games .
Fingers crossed.
I still think there are 6/7 teams in this battle.

Strange, when we were losing every week under Adams some people never admitted relegation was a possibility. 2 bad results later & we are definitely going down. apparently.

 

[vulture]

adams is the twat to blame for all this...albion legend

 

[clapham_gull]

That's it, game over. We've played Crewe and Orient in the last week and taken nothing. Not only that, we've deserved nothing. League two is now a definite and we need to start preparing for it.

I thought it was a disappointing performance, Orient always looked like scoring in the second half.

However - if their goalkeeper hadn't pulled off that amazing save in the second half we may just scrapped it.

no just facing facts

 

[R. Slicker]

no just facing facts

Might as well have stuck with Adams then.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Yep. We are.

 

[Altered State]

What if ...

We needed 4 points to get into a play-off position with 13 games to go. How many would be posting 'that's it, we can't go up now'?

Very disappointing to lose today. But Slade only really gets down to work on Monday, and the new loanees could start to gel.

Of course losing today was a bad result. We do have to start winning and winning soon. We can do that. And that's facing facts just as much as the 'we're doomed' posters think they are.

We can do this. Believe people!!!
