I fully expect us to be in the mix down to the last day of the season, cant really see how we are going to get out of this one. Blackwell isn't the answer.
If we do go down I agree it will be a big struggle to get back up, although saying that the majority of our players will probably find there level in league one......
I think winning another game and a few draws might be enough but at the moment it don't see us getting the momentum together to get 3 points and fight our way out of the drop zone.
The manager for Colchester that day when they beat Norwich about 6-0 at Carrow Road, was Paul Lambert. Bryan Gunn was fired soon afterwards, and who should take his place? one Paul Lambert and i believe that Norwich returned the compliment in the return fixture, hammering Colchester on their ground by a similar score. Neither squad had been altered greatly, so the plaudits have to go to Lambert, in terms of motivation and man management.
I do not think that we will be relegated this season, but without serious commitment and investment from our board (this weeks!!), we could well face the drop next year.
The people who run the Ricoh are running a football stadium, I don't think the on-pitch performance really affects their other operations within the venue. It's not like Kings of Leon are going to cancel if we go down.
