Will we get relegated with Wilkins ?.

[Uncle Buck]

You've said that twice in this thread now, losing 7 in a row. It's not true. Can't you do the minimum of checks?

Sorry Steve, the run I meant actually happened slightly later and was only 6 defeats in a row, silly me;

Sat Mar 5 Champ Stoke City Away Lost 0-2
Sat Mar 12 Champ Plymouth Argyle Away Lost 1-5
Tue Mar 15 Champ Wigan Athletic Home Lost 2-4
Mon Mar 21 Champ Reading Home Lost 0-1
Sat Apr 2 Champ Coventry City Away Lost 1-2
Tue Apr 5 Champ Preston North End Away Lost 0-3

And then we went 5 unbeaten and became the first Albion team to stay in the second tier since 1990. You must have been devastated.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

to pick out a losing run in the season McGhee kept us in the championship is frankly absurd.

5 game unbeaten run that consisted of one win;

Sat Apr 9 Champ Leicester City Home Drew 1-1
Sat Apr 16 Champ Burnley Away Drew 1-1
Sat Apr 23 Champ West Ham United Home Drew 2-2
Sat Apr 30 Champ Rotherham United Away Won 1-0
Sun May 8 Champ Ipswich Town Home Drew 1-1

The fact is after Millwall at home (got mixed up and thought it was Leeds away) we should have been more or less home and dry, but we only won one more game that season and that nearly put us down.

 

[Da Man Clay]

And to be fair how many of those 5 games did you really expect to win?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Well that was McGhee's system, not worrying about certain games, just 6 in a row and one win in 11 was taking it a bit far.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

" and that nearly put us down. "

But it didn't did it

After hounding McGhee out and then with the new manager 4 defeats in a row, 3 points off the relegation zone and the lowest ever crowd for a Saturday at Withdean, I thought you might have kept a low profile for a while Piers.

I know it did not put us down, what I said is to me the rot was setting in during the tail end of that season.

I am honoured that you think I hounded McGhee out and the lowest crowd is my fault. You either need to find reality or get yourself sectioned as you seem to be a danger to yourself....

Yep, but it just shows the state that some fans whipped themselves up into. Yes, what a disgrace it was that we were losing to the likes of Reading, Wigan and Preston. Far worse than to the likes of Yeovil and Carlisle innit.

In my opinion, it has more to do with Knight giving him sufficient funds than his own efforts.

Twist things as much as you want. We should have been safe in March and it took us until May to stay up, which to me suggest things were starting to go wrong. In your world it will be something different, but the end of the day McGhee has gone and in the long run that will be for the good of this club.

One down, 2 to go....

 

[Silent Bob]

Just a shame we procrastinated, otherwise we might not be in as much of a mess now.

Your problem is that you worry about losing to Reading and Wigan and are perfectly calm about losing to Yeovil and Chesterfield

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I found 6 in a row last season

4/02/06 0-2 Coventry away
11/02/06 1-2 Leics at home
14/02/06 0-3 Norwich away
18/02/06 0-1 Watford home
25/02/06 1-2 Crewe away
4/03/06 0 -1 Plymouth away

Before that we beat leeds. But before that we lost to Cov in the cup, Soton away, Millwall at home, and Luton away.

So thats one win in oooh 10?

What happened to Joe Royle then? You told me he was available.

I am concerned that we are losing games, however I can see the mess that Wilkins has got to contend with due to McGhee stripping this squad down the nearly nothing.

I would not bother, I think a cult has formed and McGhee can still do no wrong...

You'll still be going on about the tragedy of losing to Reading and Wigan when we're losing to Macclesfield and Boston
