    Young player of the year

    Has to be out of Connor Thomas and Cyrus Christie doesn't it? Bigi has been out of the picture now for quite a while and Jordan Clarke has only just come back. Other players haven't played enough at all (Ruffles, Cameron, Willis etc.)

    So....more of the same if we somehow stay up?

    League 1 won't be our best fit though. We still wouldn't have any money, gates would drop and all we would do is replace a Championship stuggle with a League 1 struggle.

    Yes some stats are not much use and can be manipulated, but you can't argue with the league tables for the last 30 years. They are there cast in stone. The points are there in concrete and we have a very good idea what is required. Someone on here actually said we might only need one more win...

    Our Survival Down To Team Selection, Over To You Andy

    What's happened to Hussey? Back from injury but no sign of him even on the bench the last 6 games? Whatever his failing are, the lad can put in a very decent cross and we need goals and quality balls into the box. Clarke has done okay at left back but it's not his position is it and it is...

    Adverts just don't seem to work on me. I recognise the tunes and the ads when they come on, remember they are annoying or funny but then pretty much always forget what the ad was for. Then there are ones like Go Compare, which is so in your face, so repetitive and so annoying, that it does...

    How many points can we get?

    If we are going to keep losing we might as well, just to keep the goal difference down.:D

    How many points can we get?

    18 points? That'll be play-offs then won't it? :thinking about:

    How many points can we get?

    My worry there though is that instead of the odd goal defeats we were getting earlier in the season away from home, the last 3 away games have been defeats by 2 clear goals. If that continues we could well see our goal difference getting worse. Last two home wins have only been by the odd goal...

    Home form is good. Think it can continue to be good. But we don't just need it to be good so as to have an unbeaten home run, we need a succession of wins in this run for it to be a winning run for us to survive. We draw against Brum and then the next home game we are going to probably see...

    Our players are scared of space...

    Good examples. Both players like to give the ball and then move into space to get the return ball.

    The bookies make millions from us year on year on year .... Why? Because they look at the constants, the stats and the most probable scenarios. That sort of throws your comment back in your face a bit. The bookies aren't very often wrong are they. Otherwise they would be out of business...

    Our players are scared of space...

    I and a few others talked of this before Christmas. We pretty much always pass the ball to feet, especially in the midfield area. This makes us predictable and much easier to close down. Said it was a big problem then and was hoping Thorn would address it. Haven't said anything since mind as...

    He keeps doing this does Torchy. :facepalm: All fans want to be optimistic surely don't they?

    Why is statistical 'always worthless?' Gone back over 30 years now and only once has a team stayed up on 40 points. a couple of times 43 has been required, but it is usally 46-50 pts required. Don't see how that is worthless. That is very relevant as to how many points are likely to be...

    We need a deflected shot off the refs left buttock. That happens and then I will readily sign up to the great Sky Blue survival mission.

    They can indeed. Whatever happens we know that after only winning 7 games in 35, we have now got to go out and win 4 or 5 out of just 11. If we had just got a few points on the road I would have said it was doable.

    We also have more away games left now than home games. You have to factor that in too.

    Oh dear. Doesn't that Donny stat suggest they may well finish above us as they have 2 games in hand?

    i'm a better fan than you!

    It's not predicting the future. It is looking at the constants. The constant factors are that we have not won away all season long. We have lost 10 in a row away and not scored at all in our last 3 away games and have only scored 7 away goals all season. Being a realist is coming to the...
