Where are our next points coming from?
Permalink  
 

With these fixtures on the horizon, I'm really struggling to see where a draw never mind a win is coming from:

Bolton (H)
Charlton (A)
Ipswich (H)
Blackburn (A)
Derby (H)
Wolves (A)
Watford (A)

I've tried to stay optimistic this season, but realism has kicked in during the last month or so. I fear the worst, but sincerely hope I'm wrong. These new players had better gel quickly, but I still can't see a settled eleven starting anytime soon.

We will survive. I saw a spark in the team's performance today.  When more sparks start to fly we will have some fireworks.

I looked at Jan / Feb / March around Christmas time - and I'm afraid that will be the time we get buried in the bottom 3. Whether we have enough to get out in April who knows - balaclava's anyone?

is it only me who thinks theres points to be had in the upcoming fixtures? Im quite upbeat about our chances v the likes of Bolton, Blackburn, Charlton etc.  Against the likes of Bournemouth we will struggle, we knew we would be up against it v the better teams this season but we have to play everyone home and away and if at the end of that we are in the bottom 3 then so be it. But until we are relegated lets give it a go and see what we can do, who we can upset and enjoy it.

If, and thats a big if, we are going down then lets go down fighting. 

 

Bring the F eckers on!

Bolton, Charlton, Blackburn, are all possible points. Absolutely no doubt about that.

We aren't good but let's not lose perspective the other way. We are where we are in a group of alsorans.

 

Maybe the other teams within a win or so are pretty much the same standard.

I found yesterday quite entertaining. I think sammon is better than revs but was pooped after 60 mins. We had a new side gelling and I saw an improved side. Personally I think the answer is to put Arnie in midfield and use someone else as cb.

Remembering that 4 th from bottom is a success I took enough optimism from yesterday where we were playing against the best team in the division and a poor ref who thinks diving is a necessary and acceptable part of the game. I have reason to be optimistic that we now finally have the ingredients of a side who are capable of staying up. The question is can Steve mix and bake them right.

I say ingredients...
Ham mil
Green s
Pringle s
Sammon
Frier t
Collin for a takeaway

I can see us drawing against Bolton and Blackburn = 2 points

Win against Charlton = 3 points

Against Ipswich, Derby, Wolves and Watford Nu points = 0

 

Then we will be in the bottom 3

Even if only as a sub, I would like to see Prings in his old position, whipping in crosses. Just to see if Sammon can get on the end of them - or anyone else of course. I am hoping Sammon can improve his fitness and stay the full 90 mins. Then we can judge.

Still want Arnie in Midfield - makes too many mistakes at back when in possession of ball - did it again several times on Sat. If we bring in a CB and a goalscorere we then have options for tactical changes. Exactly what AFC B did on Sat.

Thought our bench looked weak on Saturday. Liked Conor Newton when he came on - had fire in his belly and prepared to get in their faces

I agree with you Miilers4ever.

Mayeb we wont be in the bottom 3 though as no one else can win either at the moment.

Agree to an extent with Arnie too. He made some right howlers again at the back.

Bids are on the table so we will see if any are excepted and what positions the players in question plaay at? Maybe a CB?
