We will be fine. Everyone knows what this league is like. So many times on this forum there’s been comments of don’t know where next win is coming from then we win the next game or even two in a row!

We both sit bottom of the form league, and we have scored the least amount of goals in the last six. Rock bottom. Relegation form. It is relegation form, and we need points fast. I would still be astonished if we got anywhere near a relegation situation, really astonished, as we have had moments of decent performances, and have enough about us. It has nothing to do with Leeds, who are on another planet compared to us, but the preceding games against the other mid-table sides. There are a couple of tough games to come, Boro and Saints, but after that we do have the opportunity to get back on track, we have to be looking at 6 points against QPR and a very poor Wednesday. There is a good 5-point gap to the next group below us, and we have 38 points. We will get better I am sure, and 45 points should be enough this season to be relegated, so 7 points is easily achievable. I think we will end up somewhere around 55 points this season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game was the final Hurrah of the NP era in a sense and lovely for Fleming that he signed off with a win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, the fact that Argyle can pass us comes as no surprise to me. This season is finished , unless some set of crazy results sees us relegated. I like the look of all the new signings different approach. Moving up 2 or 3 places from last season and calling that progress is not for me. We can hang around in this league for a few more years but sooner or later we will leave it in some direction. I can't judge Manning yet and for me none of us should, If after the summer signings and this far into the next season and were still playing shite football and looking like pants then we all just as well give up. And people on here thinking lansdown is happy to hang around in this division is off the mark, i know he's ****** it up for 20 years but he;s not happy with that. he needs Promotion.

Ah yes with you now.. The last 2-3 years have been a bit of a challenging period, perhaps a bit longer.

And people on here thinking lansdown is happy to hang around in this division is off the mark, i know he's ****** it up for 20 years but he;s not happy with that. he needs Promotion. I think giving Manning a free pass this season, on the basis that he came in a third of the way through the season, is far too lenient. We were told that he was brought in to improve our results this season, but so far in that regard he has clearly failed. Even worse, he’s made a limited but competitive team look like a limited and ineffective team. That is not progress. It suggests a fixed way of thinking about how to play that doesn’t suit the players he has, which is very worrying. Effective football is one that means the team scores more than it concedes rather than playing a particular way. Many fans will forego entertainment if their teams win (Arsenal have been doing that for about a century!) but the problem of late is that much of our football has been poor, boring and losing. At the rate we are going our first league win of 2024 might not appear until March. That definitely brings back memories of SO’D and that 7 month winless league run from March to October 2013, which of course also included a relegation… 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The most annoying thing is that we have been in touch with the top 6 pretty much all the way through a poor period. Birmingham away , 1 point from 6th Before the Watford home game , 4 points off of 6th. 1-1 Coventry away , still only 7 points. Leeds, amazingly still only 6 off 6th pre game. A run of 3 points and no wins , ending with a poor performance has me looking down nervously. Defensively we are still reasonable, but if we concede one it feels massive as we don't look like scoring regularly . On the reverse side, if we could find some form we are still only 7 points from 6th. Only 7 but at the top end everyone around you are picking up points so it's harder to drag back...... but not impossible. It feels like a very important stage in the season. The team needs tweaking to get us better further forward. Sykes and Twine could help that (when fit) but some change in formation feels necessary .
