Season Over?

[nwgull]

Tuesday will be a good indication of where we are gonna finish.

Win-we are right back in it
Draw-Still in with a shout but will be difficult
Lose- Curtains

This is the right answer. The other teams are all giving us a chance to mess it up and still be in it. Problem is that our form in front of goal during the past 3 games is as bad as I can remember - the penalty summed up the whole team's ability to hit a barn door at the moment.

I reckon 5 wins out of the last 8 will do it; however I can't see it happening.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Points wise we're still in with a shot of the playoffs. The problem is we're going backwards..............

 

[Icy Gull]

Feels like it but it also felt like we were going to crack it after the games before this current run of three defeats. It is a fact that we are a fickle bunch who will be getting all enthusiastic again if we win against Blackburn. Well all except some unnamed posters who seem to revel in us failing who would still continue to peddle their gloom.

 

[ali jenkins]

Of cause we are still in it. Even if we lose on Tuesday we are still only 4 points off and the other teams will lose games.

 

[Creaky]

Depends by what you mean by "season over".

Right from the beginning of this season I was hoping we'd finish in the top ten with the outside chance of a top six. We're still well on course to achieve that.

To expect anything else was really being far too optimistic - we had a new manager with no experience of managing an English football team, let alone in a competitive league like the Championship.

On top of that there was the pre-season disruption and a bucket load of injuries.

Admittedly I have been bemused by some of the tactics employed and openly critical of OG's attitude regarding the cup games - neither of those however have persuaded me that as a club we should consider anything other than giving OG the chance to show what he has learnt from this season and whether he not he can apply that during both the summer transfer window and the start of next season.

 

[Lethargic]

The problem for me is not the table position at the end of the season I would take tenth, it's the way we play and the backward steps over the past month or so, we simply don't look like we could buy a goal let alone win a game. I want to see some progress and us set up for a great season next year but at the moment I don't see any progress or even hope.

 

[Mowgli37]

Not over just yet, with most of the teams around us are also slumping which gives us a chance.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

We can not get in the playoffs with one player who can score in the team. Let-alone one player who is woefully out of form.

 

[Brighton Mod]

Our chances are slim given our form, but its not over. Everyone is foundering, there s still hope!

 

[ruthers]

The league suggests 'no' but head & heart says it's over.
I cannot see where goals will come from currently, & I include a lack lustre Ulloa in that assessment.
Transfer targets for next season need to start being identified now so we don't have a situation of having players join the squad late in the pre-season preparation to give everyone another excuse for a poor start.

 

[Ernest]

I can see Bournemouth over taking us and grabbing 6th place as they are the one form team, QPR,Derby, and two from Reading, Wigan and Bournemouth

 

[ruthers]

Only Bournemouth?

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Seeing as we're only due to score another 7 goals this season we'd need to use them very wisely for the season to not be finished, especially now we're leaking goals too.

 

[BrianWade4]

Win the game in hand and we are 7th, so not over yet

 

[Commander]

Not by a long shot. But any more displays like yesterday and it will be.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

It's hone wrong since Johnny Rotten wrote the pre match warm up dressing room song

No future for you
No future for me
No future, no future for you

 

[Blackadder]

As Ulloa prepared to take his pen, we all said our season either continues or finishes here.

So it's over I'm afraid, which is strange because we don't do mid table.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Over if we lose our game in hand on Tuesday.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

If we are counting on McSmudger for next season we can forget that one as well

There is a totally unconfirmed rumour that he is going to Posh and we get Assombolonga in an exchange deal.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Its not over. However the current form needs to change starting from Tuesday. Lose to Blackburn and it will be a very big mountain to climb, relying on others to slip up. Not impossible but most unlikely too.
