We will stay up and be facing Pompey or that lot from the NE next season!

Yep, Sunderland currently looking good for promotion I reckon. Would look forward to playing them in front of a large crowd at The Ricoh. Be gutting if they got promoted and we went down though.

Pretty sure that (along with all the relegated teams) they were among the favourites to go up, with good reason. Clearly it's no guarantee, but why pretend we wouldn't have one of the better teams at that level?

Relegation would be a disaster financially for the club. It’d impact the playing side and we’d be left with the deadwood and league 2 levels players who are still hanging on.

Why are we always so pessimistic? If we win on Saturday there will be posts suggesting we can make the play offs. We need roughly 15 points from 12 matches, it may be less than that. To me the focus we should be looking at is how are we going to improve our squad next season. You have to believe you are good enough until it is proven your not and we are mikes from that at the moment.
Some of our fans want to thrive on doom and gloom. We had one target this season to finish 21st or above. We are on target to achieve that.

I think O'Hare might also attract interest but certainly not a definite. I don't think we'd be looking at wholesale changes if we did find ourselves back in League One next season.

O’Hare on a reported £10k a week won’t be staying if we go down

cc84cov · Mar 3, 2021

Looking at the run in you’ve got to think if we don’t get stay up we deserve to go down,my worry is the manager seems to have now set us up to go direct playing off errors & second balls...against teams around us it’s time to get fucking cracking starting Saturday it’s time for staff and players to ramp it up

I know relegation is not good for any club but for is it would truly be a death sentence.

We need to hang on my the skin of our teeth. With no stadium, no funds from crowds this year, and the fact we would lose the couple of players that we have that are actually half capable at this level, it would be catastrophic.

We need to stay up. If we stay up, we would have got more in revenue in 2 years than we would have in 6 years in league one.

With Hyam and Rose both regressed massively.

Huh? They just playing in a league which is light years ahead of League 1. The up in standard is massive.

In all likeliness they would have improved massively.

robbiethemole · Mar 3, 2021

So, are our issues down to being naive, or because our players don't have the strength, mentally or physically to compete for 90 mins in this League, or they're just not good enough at this level? I'd like to believe it's the first and if we stay up, next season we'll be more"streetwise" and we'll probably have different players to slag off.

You mean the same deadwood and L2-level players who won L1 at a canter not even 12 months ago? I'm not saying we go down into L1 as the finished article, but the goldfish memory on here is ridiculous.

If your doomsday scenarios are correct and we end up left with a front three of Shipley, Godden and someone on Zain Westbrooke's level, then guess what? That's the same front three that took apart Wycombe last December. We're far more likely to compete than tumble down the leagues. Not sure what's controversial about that.

im sure the bookies had Sunderland and Ipswich as favourites when they went down

It’s not the same L2 deadwood is it - we spent £750 on Godden we managed to secure Dabo and two championship players in Mcfazdean and Allen - we had Walsh and O Hare who were vital contributors to the season along with Kelly whose now in his 30’s

I think we'd be one of the favourites, whether that's warranted is a different matter.

If we go down the loss of revenue will be huge, I think we may struggle to bounce back at the first time of asking.

Not sure I automatically agree, where do you think we have over extended?

McFadz needs to go we are getting an Indian summer out of him. He will turn 35 next season.

This is....precisely my point?

I'm not saying we'd be a slam dunk to bounce straight back (bookies are sometimes wrong, if you can imagine that). But the "deadwood" squad we would take down with us would almost certainly be considered a cut above most teams in that league. And if it was possible to tweak a comparable squad to turn it into a title-winner one year ago, why would you assume the same players are now doomed?

JulianDarbyFTW · Mar 3, 2021

The only key players really missing from the L1 season would be Walsh and McCallum (O'Hare was a sub more often than not) and Westbrooke (subjective, but he did play a large chunk of games). You'd like to think we'd be attractive to the better players / free agents at that level, and we've shown that we're a great place to have players sent to on loan. I actually think we'd make a really good fist of going up again at first time of asking, only to drop out of the playoff spots on the final day of the season.

It's not the end of the world if we go down, if it happens it will at that moment. Think this club our club will always fight back I really believe that pusb
