Maybe beacuse we have won 4 out of the LAST 5 at home. So looking at the remaining 6 games at the Ricoh, 5 are winnable.
Cant see how that is fantasy
We messed up a big, big opportunity last weekend, there's no escaping from that. I've said quite a lot of times that away form is what will get us relegated, and that continuing with our current away set-up, we could well match Otis' prediction of no more away points, let alone wins. Imagine that-3/69 points on the road? We've seen what happens when the team show urgency and are willing to take a bit more of a risk in their football-it puts teams on the back foot; but we wait until the game's up to start doing it. What's for sure though, is that we will not win away for all eternity with our current style.
Win 5 games at home? That's not fantasy of course. But 5 home wins will not keep us up. It might be 50 points (though I doubt it), it might be 44-45 points (possibly), but it will not be 41 points. History has shown this. Think the very least it will be will be 42 points.
That means we would need those 5 wins you talk of and another 3 draws. Just don't see how that is at all feasible.
I can't be arsed to do the research but I would be amazed if at this stage in previous seasons there have been 4 teams averaging significantly less than a point per game.
On that basis I think 46 points will be enough. Will we do it? Will we bollox. I could see us scraping our way to 42-43 but with the best will in the world that surely won't be enough.
The internet? I'll give you a clue - you're using it
Yep, gotta say it is looking that way isn't it. The only thing i can hold onto is our Home form and the fact those around us are just as bad!! Will keep believing until mathematically we are down...................no harm in that surely?
I think it depends who we get those points against. If it's the teams around us then not only do we win, but we stop them getting any either. I still think Brstol and Millwall are well in this and one of those will fall into the bottom 3 at some stage.
Are we not only 3 points adriftHave they been in the bottom three since October and 7 points adrift since Christmas?
How do you or anyone know we need to win 7 games at least to stay up? we are 6 points off safety, so therefore if we win 2 and draw 1 and everyone else loses we stay up! Not saying we will, however you can not say for certain we are doomed or we can not do it can you? We have won 4 out of the last 5 at home, so there's a good start. The teams around us are just as shit!! Forest we very poor on saturday, yes they beat us but i doubt they will pick up many more wins than us. We are a different team at home. I predict we get at least 6 wins at home Blues is the dodgy one! and we somehow scrape at least a draw away (though god only knows where!) we just have to see weekly how it is panning out
Where do you keep finding these sigs and pics HH? Getting jealous here
I understand that, I am just stating if we manage to get to 43-45 points i.e 18-20 points from the last 14 games then we will have had a good end to the season in terms of results/formCCFC, if we get 43-45 points 9/10 of the past seasons we will be RELEGATED! Leauge 1.
Is the penny not dropping here?
The bottom four are all much the same. Don't forget they all need to pick up if they are going to stay up. Perhaps none of them will pick up and someone may stay up with only 40 points!
I'm sure many on this board remember days of old when we were down and out in the old 1st division. So nothing is impossible. Thorn must stay now as its far too late to be changing the captain of the ship. A couple of loans could make all the difference. I know it only reduces the losses (for next year) but SISU should make this investment right now as I believe the revenue from TV is only 1/3rd of what it is in the championship.
In short the current team will not keep us up but a good couple of loans might just give us a chance.
Stopper
SISU won't do that though. They don't seem to care. A couple more loans - with Thorn's excellent eye for talent could make all the difference.
You have even managed to get your only agenda (Thorn) into this thread!
Even if Thorn had money to burn and took us to the bottom of League.2, they would still trot out their excuses and defend him.
I have never known anything like it. It seems 10 years in this division has finally sent people insane.
What a stupid comment the equivalent being You would still attack Thorn even if in the current situation with no money and all his best players getting sold he took us to the top of the premier league. Numpty
A ludicrous comment.
If Thorn did that then then just like you, I would 'forget Thorn is human' and he would be 'shit-hot'.
