12 games to win (4 Viewers)

If MVE were to get injured, then I would worry about us - I know he didn't have a great game last night, but when he does play well he makes a huge difference to us. Need to get decent cover for him in the window imo (amongst other areas of the pitch)/ We should be ok, but the next 3 games we could easily lose (and forum 'panic' will set in (understandably).

To hit the 50 point mark, I’m struggling to even get to 12 wins from what we’re serving up and I doubt we even win all of these. Anyway:

Plymouth H and A
Pompey H and A
QPR H
Luton A
Stoke H
Oxford A
PNE H
Hull H
Cardiff H
Millwall H

Then try and scrabble some draws from all the others. For a side that gets 0 points from Derby, Swansea and Sheff W, is it possible?

Step forward the ultimate drama queen - seen this before unfortunately.

There isn’t a more futile task than trying to predict results in the championship. The last two games are an absolute case in point. We aren’t in a relegation battle and nor will we be.

I don't think we'll be in a relegation battle, but it's quite clear performances and results need to improve.

The biggest concern I often have watching games is that as a collective, the Starting XI doesn't seem to fully understand what they're supposed to be doing or their individual roles.

There's very little movement, we show no real pattern of play and players look visibly frustrated by others - whether that be be because of mistakes or they're not where they're supposed to be on the pitch.

Ultimately that's not a player quality issue, it's a training issue.

There was a moment second half where Rudoni thought he was playing RWB, Eccles fired a ball out to nobody on the left and they both looked confused.

This is the concern. The team not only plays poorly, they often look like they just don’t know what they’re doing. You then have no leaders out there to change matters.

I’ve seen enough to decide we’re in a battle, and with probably 0 points to come from the next 3 games, we’ll be in the drop zone after 18.

I think we’ll get one point out of 9, obviously have no chance of a win but might sneak a draw

if we lost all 3 which is probable would be 10 defeats in 17

Kinda accepted we’re just a bit shit as a team now

won’t accept relegation, which is particularly possible

We're not a shit team, we are just doing some shit things, i.e. Rudoni last night, which was an absolute howler.

To not even look up is a cardinal sin.

We were unbeaten in 3 games and were looking decent.

Derby had a game plan and gifting them a goal, played right into that plan and we found it increasingly difficult then to break them down.

That can be sorted on the training ground, the Rudoni mistake. It's basic and nothing to do with the quality of the player. Just absolute, textbook schoolboy stuff, where you look before you pass.

You know, when we went 1 nil down last night, I did think we would lose.

As I say, we played right into Derby's game plan and they defended valiantly and were well organised.

It was such an awful error. You can't gift teams goals like that. You just can't.

Derby did defend well and were well organized

Soon as they got the first I knew it was going to be one of those nights.

We will always struggle to win games at this level with this defensive unit we’re so easy to play against

I’m not sure Otis, I’d say we’re a pretty poor side, been proven over a season and a half period with a blip around November to January which was a great run of form to be fair

Someone posted last night that we've lost 8 out of our last 11 home games, that is a truly woeful stat, not even scraping draws!
