Whenever we’ve been relegated before we’ve looked like a really poor team, not in most matches etc, this team doesn’t look like that, if sort the away form will be ok

It is concerning. I think most would have pencilled them in for one of the relegation spots.

We signed a striker in line with our budget and brought in James and a couple of others - what else were you expecting?

If Wednesday had kept their 12 point deduction I'd be close to writing them off, as it is it seems like someone up there really doesn't want us to stay in this league. I think we'd be handsomely clear without missing half a team for half a season. As it is we'll probably be going into the last game needing something.

Its a shame because I think we're a pretty good team apart from at the sharp end. Our play is that of a mid table team but our finishing is relegation fodder.

I think we're playing much better stuff than 11/12 but suffering the same fundamental problem that blighted both sides. Can't hit the target and keep conceding awful goals

He got 2 late on in games they were already winning comfortably. He isn't the difference. They are on a good run. Who knows the wheels might fall off.

There are other teams that are getting dragged in. From 11th to 22nd there is an 8pt gap. Loads of games to play

We scored 2 and won a couple of games ago. We don’t need league winning form. We need to replicate the first half the season. And I think we will.

Fucking hell some massive amount shitty pants down Coventry way. Are you not seeing what’s going on, their are far worse teams in this league, when it comes down to the business end of the season, you’ll piss safety. Wycombe are gone, Wensdeh are joining them, and Birmingham Derby and ‘uddersfield are going scrap it out to avoid the third spot.

We are on bare bones though what do you expect?! Our main 2 strikers are injured, it's shite luck. We did get just about the best replacement available. Gyo is an international who already played with Osti at St Paul last year so should settle. He was probably left out because Robins wanted an extra man in the middle and thought Biamou would hold it up better.

You have got to be happy with a point against Watford. They are light years ahead of us financially. Take the positives and move on. We had more shots and played great in defence.

I think we will be OK. Its gonna be a really tough month. The fixtures are weighted horribly with us playing the top 3 one after another. Might get worse before it gets better but we had this earlier in the season and came through. Just relax. Springs on its way, less boggy pitches and hopefully Walker can get a few minutes.

It's nuts.

We played well in a game we were expected to lose. We gained a point in a game we were expected to lose and gained a point on both Sheff Weds and Birmingham. People were saying on here that Rotherham definitely won't go down, so their result today was irrelevant anyway. They were also saying about the amount of games Rotherham had in hand. Again, irrelevant if they are to be discounted .

Now, we have Birmingham behind us in the bottom 3 and they have played the same amount of games. Wednesday have a game in hand, but are 6 points behind.

It is expected we will have one of our main two strikers back next week.

I don't get all the doom and gloom. I truly don't.

You have to put it in perspective. It was always going to be tough to score without both Godden AND Walker.

You’ve picked up 11 points in your last 12, by on large you’re beating the teams you should, your picking up points, playing well, and creating chances. Start to worry if your performances drop, the points dry up, and your goal scoring chances stop coming. Have a look at the teams around you theirs some real shite in there, also look at your fixtures, in your last 10 games you’ve got relegation strugglers and teams that’ll be on the beach, your worrying for fuck all.

It’s firmly in your own hands, keep performing as you are and you’ll be fine. You’ve been on the outskirts of a relegation battle all season and that’s the way it’ll continue to be, your going to drop points even in games you shouldn’t but so will the teams around you.

Momentum matters a lot. We have a horrendous run from now until mid-March with a much depleted squad.

We’ve been in a relegation scrap at the foot of the second division pretty much all my life, I know what I’m on about when it comes to judging a relegation battle outcome. The 6 games from the 06,03,2021 to 05,04,2021 will see you over the line.
