YGabbana Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Drop the under performers and play the fringe players mixed with youngsters. Gives them good experience going into a tough Championship. Doesnt matter what results we get between now and the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) On another note we keep hearing how they need the fans support but it really hasn't done anything besides line up the pockets. I'd imagine the club have lost alot of support after that until things start to shape up again properly (next season in the championship maybe). Who can blame them too? You stick with your club through thick and thin but this has honestly been thin for like 5-6 years now I include the pathetic cup final in this. Good luck to the club. I'd imagine the finances wouldn't be a good read next season at all. Edited December 28, 2015 by dudevillaisnice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) We've been down since about October but today has pretty much sealed it. Only having 8 points makes us one of the worst teams in top flight history and I don't really expect many more points. I never really imagined it could be this bad, but it is and we have to take it on the chin and try to properly deal with it. Whether or not this board is capable of making the right decisions, is another issue. It's so so important that we now start to think about bringing the right players in for next year. Hungry, experienced Championship players that will bring consistency, stability and are up for the scrap. We also might as well start letting go some of the absolute losers that continue to hang around our club; just banish them from Birmingham. i,e Richardson, Hutton, Westwood, Guzan, Clark.... the list goes on. I'd personally like to stick with Garde, I want him to have a few transfer windows anyway but I guess how long he has boils down to the manner in which he takes us down. Tough times ahead but it's been coming for so long. I just hope the club doesn't now just fade into the abyss.

Yes it would still be mathematically possible but we would have to go on a ridiculous run as we'd failed to win four 6 pointer games in a row. If we could just win tomorrow then 4 points from Sunderland and Norwich away games would suddenly seem realistic as we've done very well on those two grounds in recent seasons. 5 points is the minimum from the next 3 I think. 7 and yes we'd still be in the bottom three but we'd probably be off the bottom and suddenly a few of the teams above us wouldn't look so out of reach. Big ask though. May as well close the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm a season ticket holder and I've got to go and watch another nine games or so this season. The results don't matter and I don't want to work my way to a coronary by screaming abuse at our own players, so, does anyone have any ideas what I (and others like me) can do at the game to occupy ourselves between now and the end of the season? I don't want to waste the ticket, but the football is over and I'd like something to make the trip seem worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 We need to win at least 10 games from our next 19.. Even then that leaves us with 38 points which may not even be mathematically safe come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Derby had 7 points at this stage in their infamous 11 point season so we are not tracking too far off that. They also only won one match in that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 How much was that team worth today? Probably not even the cost of Benteke to Liverpool. When we review the season it is Randy who has lost it for us. No doubt. We have a premier league manager, 5 premier league first team starters, and then a squad of complete dirge.

Daniel Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Couple of years ago i'd feel nervous about games like today and i'd be gutted if we lost the game. Now i don't feel anything, i just don't care. Can't believe it's come to this. Hope Lerner is happy with all the shit decisions he's made, hope it was worth is, Randy.
