One point in 5 games with league leaders next... (1 Viewer)

..if we get stuffed at home by Bristol, I think many fans will see this as full-scale crisis mode...everyone will be talking about SP and will start to look embattled. Barring the two wins back at the Ricoh, our form since the turn of the year has been dire:

7 league wins since new years' day - a span of 34 games*
11 draws in that same space of time so total of 32 points
this is an average of 0.94 points per game
Over the course of a 46-game season this would give us 43 points
Last season, 43 points would have been good enough for 22nd place - relegation.
So we have been in relegation mode since NY day ... I won't even start on goals scored.

Reminds me a bit of the run that eventually got Boothroyd the sack - AB looked hunted and eventually folded - I hope the same doesn't happen with SP. Some fans saying he needs to go, but our problem has been too much managerial change, not too much of it.

TBH even if we go down we should stick with him. We are probably on a Sxfields budget so one of the lower in the league (no, the Wilson/Christie money didn't get reinvested). In Steve Waggott though we have a CEO who strikes me as competent, unlike those in the boardroom who booted out previous managers.

* edit - includes the two September home wins at the Ricoh, which are not excluded from these figures despite the statement in the opening paragraph.

Look at our next 4 fixtures

Bristol (H), Oldham (A), Peterborough (H), Leyton Orient (A)

I'm struggling to see us get more than one point which will leave us on 16 played 14 points and almost certainly in the bottom 4

And your wrong about the budget we have a budget probably between 8-14th in the division, lots of clubs in this division would love to have our budget.

As someone pointed out near the end of the Crewe match thread, we'll probably go and win 3 in a row now, this is CCFC after all!

I'm looking forward to going to Oldham next week.ointlaugh:
A loss and a long journey home in the dark. Hope it rains so I can get wet as well.
