Oh bum. Relegation it is then!!

Finally agreeing to go out with me?

Sheff United down in 13th are only 1 point behind us. Think we may have a fair way to fall yet. :(

That Jack Payne looked brilliant tonight and scored a great goal too.

Southend just beat Sheff Utd and go above us.

Can only see it happening if we lost all 7 games, or lost 6 and won none.

Hmm, thing that worries me is the team now giving up and going through the motions. Nowt to play for other than pride and how much have we got of that left? I think we have given up. I don't expect any chasing of lost causes, or any blood sweat and tears. Not had much of that anyway, but I...

And Miss Marple makes me feel very old. Already feel old enough because I don't think anyone got my Lucille Ball joke! ;)

Wasn't trying to slap you down. :) was just thinking out loud.

'Eye of bat, tail of newt, blood as black of night, Hark this curse, it tis a beaut, forever be you shite!'

Going to have to go some to get 11th I think with the games we have coming up. Some real tough ones. Sheff Utd. play Southend tonight. Either team win and we'll be down to 10th with the next 4 opponents being Gillingham, Wigan, Bradford and Millwall. 11th may be a tad optimistic.

I think we have a bit of a chance to pick something up at Gillingham, but Wigan look to be on a real roll and that looks like certain defeat. Then it's Millwall and Bradford and Sheff Utd and Oldham. I'm sure we will pull something out of the bag against someone. If we now don't manage...

Yeah and like in 1992 there was the same 12-18 month management merry-go-round we have nowadays wasn't there. That is 24 years ago! Rightly or wrongly managers are given so much less time and besides, Ferguson is a very, very rare example. No comparison. Every club pretty much these days give...

If it wasn't for the three times of nose diving out of the play-offs I would be 100% behind the bloke and would just put it down as one of those things. But three times? Has he learnt nothing? If he stays I'll back him, but am more than half expecting exactly the same thing to happen again...

As I said on another thread, the likes of Armstrong was an unknown entity. I think at first we caught a few teams on the hop. Those first 3 games we were great. I think it took a little while, but teams saw that we consistently played the same way week in week out and set out to nullify us...

Yep. Me too. We only need just over 7 and a half an over. Don't need to go all hammer and tongs over it, just pace themselves. Take the ones and twos and punish the bad balls. We have the firepower to do it.

We need to sack him early on and preferably just after a 5 or 6 nil win.

It doesn't help that we don't have pace at fullback. Lorentzson isn't quick and neither is Ricketts, nor Stokes either. Something that needs addressing next season. We need overlapping full backs. Ours do overlap, but it is rare and they lack the pace. Have to say, Murphy is one of the worst...

The Walking Dead on Monday nights?

I am optimistic about England in the Euro's. We lose the first match though that will change somewhat. Lose the 2nd and I will accept it is going to be really difficult and we're not going to make it. Don't confuse optimism with blind faith! ;)
