I’ll be honest now, I haven’t been worried about relegation for a long time.

We haven’t won back to back games all season and I don’t think that’s going to change, but we do have enough to pick up the points needed.

He said if they hadn't have scored 2 and Biamou had bagged his 3, we would have won 3-2.

3 wins and two draws required from the last 10, Saturday is massive.

Win and we will be looking at the finishing line, don't win and it becomes more of a 50/50 chance.

Bowyer is a shite manager taking over a shite team. Rotherham are a shite team with fixtures in hand.
We're shite but slightly less shite than Rotherham and Birmingham and have fixtures against other shite teams.

I think we will stay up but will probably go down to the last game of the season one way or the other.

Biamou should’ve scored, had 3 really good chances. McFadz goal wasn’t handball and will be appealing it. Couldn’t really make any changes at half time because of the sending off. Godden needs some match minutes to gain fitness. Need to brush it off and go again.

Blues have a favourite back in Bowyer,Rotherham games in hand ? A lot has been made about our run in well it starts for real Saturday against Wycombe,I worry too many people are over confident about that game.

despite the conspiracy theorists thinking Rotherham have conjured up some sort of Covid related plot to have games postponed they really have issues now with fixture congestion and it looks inevitable they will have to play 4 games in a week at some point.

We have shown that in amongst all the shite we can pull a performance out of the bag every 5 or 6 games so we're due a couple more this season and that should see us over the line.

Given that more than half of their squad have either had or are recovering from Covid and baring in mind they haven't trained together for a number of weeks, I expect them to struggle on Saturday against a difficult Bristol City side too.

Assuming our fixture is rearranged for April, they're then set to play 12 games in 5 weeks following the international break. To suggest the three games in hand on us gives them some kind of advantage is nonsensical. The majority expect them to struggle to cope during this period, especially when you take their style of play and size of squad into consideration.

They're obviously bound to pick up points between now and the end of the season but so are we. Despite the disappointing performance last night I still haven't altered my view on our situation. We're far better off than Rotherham and to suggest otherwise highlights a serious lack of common sense.

The FA need to review that triple punishment rule. A red card and penalty I can just about accept but not being allowed to make substitutions either is just plain unfair.

Our “home” form should be enough to keep us up if we can continue to play the way we’re are at St Andrew’s.
Anything we can pick up away from home will then be a bonus.
If we start to implode at “home” then I would be concerned but I think we are good enough to stay up.

Part of me Hope's we dont appeal McRedcard's ban, he's becoming a bit of a liability.
Some games he looks great, but others he looks like he's going to do something crazy.

However, I'm still confident we will stay up.

Yep, still confident. We are lucky that Wycombe, Rotherham, Wednesday and Brum are shitter than we are. Otherwise, I'd not be so confident.

I think we'll have enough, mainly down to Rotherham playing every 3-4 days. Beat Wycombe, draw with QPR and we'll open up a good gap.

Our home form will see us through. Robins really needs to do something different with away games though. Our performances, and ultimately results, are awful. We can't set up so deep when teams are going to push onto us like they do when they are at home, especially with a GK as flappy as Wilson and a McFadz being happier heading balls away in his own 6 yard box than driving the defence out of our own box.

confident? Yes. I wasn’t confident in Feb when we had tough games coming up so we should have enough for these last 10.

Since the ricoh move why have people decided it’s clever again to put quote marks round home when talking about St. Andrews? That is our home ground this season. It looks infantile.

We have enough in our locker to win the 3/4 games needed to stay up IF we learn lessons from last night, the biggest being play our best players, now if Godden still isn’t 100% then he shouldn’t be on the bench came on last night as a bit of a leg stretcher so he has to come in, play our best goalkeeper that’s Marosi, has his moments admittedly but he is simply a safer pair of hands than Wilson, our defence will know that, another look at our formation just my opinion wing backs not working anymore both full backs suspect if pushed back and both allowing opposition to get crosses in, that was the only danger Luton posed and although Wilson should have saved the first and dealt with the cross that led to the penalty neither should have got that far and dealt with by defence/ midfield.
We allow too many second balls to bounce in and around our penalty area but I noticed on a few occasions we got into positions to put a centre in there was only Max in the area surrounded by 5 or 6 opponents.

Hamer as talented as he can be has become too negative plenty of possession but it’s sideways, backwards and not enough close support for our striker. Yes striker, singular, Robins needs to get two strikers playing as a pair, two strikers occupy 3/4 defenders only one allows two defenders to push forward suffocating our space in midfield.

Still confident we have enough to stay up though but it had to come from us and not rely on those behind us struggling with on paper a tougher fixture list.

Let’s see what everyone’s got to say if we get done by Wycombe this week far too many over confident people on here regarding an easy 3 points against them

I think if we do lose against Wycombe, we would go on and win our next game, because Robins would be wiping the floor with the team in the dressing room and we would get aa massive reaction next time out.

If he thinks Godden needs minutes, why hasn’t he played in either of the last 2 u23 games?

No doubt he’ll throw Rose or Allen back in on Saturday and neither have played in weeks. Our use of these games is shocking... unless it’s a covid thing?

The U23 thing is a puzzler. Players seem to come straight back from injury, into the first team or bench.

I would like to know Robins' thinking on this.

I’d have loved to have interviewed Robins after the game last night.

Would love to know his reasoning for the use of u23 games. Why he made the subs he did. Why he thinks sheaf Kelly and James can all play together when we are 2 down. Why he thinks Wilson is better than Marosi. Why he persists with Biamou. What hyam would have to do to be dropped.

On top of that, we’re just not ruthless away. Last night and Reading were two games we should’ve taken the lead, missed gilt edge chances and concede later one.

If we can get some forwards in who press like COH, that’ll help us out a lot because we only seem to create chances from forcing the opposition into errors.
