I didn’t get it wrong and as usual your binary behaviour and flailing attempts at internet points and failure to even look at a declining trend is noted

Whose the LWB anyway

I assume he was referring to Adaramola.

I said 1-1 last night, but Im weirdly looking forward to this and anticipating a 3-0 when it all just clicks and seems to go right

Hmm yes. Who could the LWB have been? Truly a question for the ages.

Another draw today I reckon, 1-1

3 draws = 1 win. Promotion charge on

So a guy who was not good enough for the first team squad and was returned was someone who strengthened the squad when he replaced Maatsen - makes sense

I didn’t ignore it it’s straw clutching

Our firm has been in decline in a very similar way to the 2015 season.

19 points from the first 10 games
12 points from the next 10 games
11 points from the next 10 games
12 points from the next 10 games

Going across 2 seasons now:

11 points from the next 10 games

No trend other than the first cluster of results suggest we will get to 50 points

As things stand we need 48 points from 40 games to even hit 50 which is just about what we’ve been achieving for most of last season - the promoted teams have been far better than anticipated - can’t see a Peterborough this time or Derby having to push uphill from an impossible points deduction

All these results were also achieved with O Hare in the team. We will have to sell in January - that’s clearly what is being said with all these press comments and we can’t afford contract run downs and further fee debakuation

Even robins now says it will be an achievement to stay in the league.

We aren’t getting to 53 points on any indicators at present anyway and Birmingham and Middlesbrough are huge games

You’ve maintained the squad is stronger - can’t see it myself

Ever thought about going in the dressing room before the game and giving a motivational speech.
We've had several consecutive successful seasons on the pitch, yet you regularly seem to take a negative position regarding the team/club.
Now that we face a challenge on the pitch, you seem to revel in that. Considering the regularity of your posts, I assume you must care about the club as much as I and others do, yet rarely does that joy/enthusiasm manifest itself in your posts (which I would have expected, given your obvious interest). If we do have an awful season, don't peak too soon with the negativity, otherwise you'll implode if we get relegated, amongst a pile of 'I told you so'. If we have to play next season in League 1, so be it, but I'm not going to join in trying to pull our club to pieces on here. Why invest in so much negativity, when you clearly have such a positive side in your character, regarding Christmas Quiz, animal care etc.

I really hope we don't see Allen as AM on his own today.

If he plays I hope it's alongside Palmer in the box, which I think may well be the case.

I personally though I stuck with it found post 2011 a pretty thankless experience until getting back into this league

As a club even medium term I don’t see a future either. Again we are on a crash course to being homeless on a worthless sub lease and owners wholly detached from the club. Even the management seem pretty worn down by it all. All I now see is a rinse and repeat cycle - our ownership I think is unique - it’s pretty detached emotionally and we are just a banking investment

The only thing that’s worked really since they’ve been here is an Acadamy and sales generated. Without that we’d have ceased to exist years ago. Sorry but at this level we are like a Burton Albion. For a club of this size and support base it’s just not good enough

You said 53 points over 46 games is relegation form. It isn't. Just admit you got that wrong.

I've got better things to do with my day than have ridiculous arguments with someone who's own stats prove themselves wrong.

Hopefully 3 points today and O’Hare possibly back after the international break and things look slightly better.

If Robins had been in charge of the ascension after the Queen died, Charles wouldn't even be getting the call for another 2 weeks.
