TrentVilla Posted October 21, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just now, useless said: Once concern for them is if you look at the table there are decent teams between them and the relegation places, I'd expect Forest, Derby and Preston to all start picking up points eventually and move up the table, Sheffield Wednesday have been showing play-off form as well. Jutkiewicz being out with coranvirus won't help matters for them either, as they're going to be very reliant on him for goals. Yeah I thought the same when I looked at the table, some if not all those sides will sort themselves out you would think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 My prediction is they’ll either be relegated, or within 3 points of relegation at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making a prediction for fun. Their issue will be the fact they won’t be able to buy themselves out of trouble, especially if things do stay poor and they pay off the management team.

That’s actually the main reason I think he will survive because they can’t afford another change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True sorcerers working behind the scenes at B6 nowadays I feel we could sell them anything for 5 M nowadays, so maybe a greenhouse, a foot pump or a Peaky blinder box set could be in the small heaths next squad.

turnbull Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 It's pretty crap being a nose at the best of times, but at the moment, it must be like wearing a hairshirt 24/7, what with them not doing "quite as well" as we are.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStagMan Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 17 hours ago, Genie said: A grand total of 3 goals, 1 of which was a pen in 7 league and cup games. Not scoring goals is always going to cause problems. A striker called Hogan who isn’t really motivated since he’s got a sweet 4 year deal is a major problem. And they think they robbed us with Jota!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted October 21, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 21, 2020 Karanka will need a win or two soon otherwise the confidence of the players in how they are playing will drain away. Playing in such a dour way is okay if you are getting results but if you aren’t it’s going to get bumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the league, you'd say Wycombe will go down. Then look maybe at Rotherham and Barnsley as other weak teams? After that then maybe small heath and Coventry?

Demitri_C Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The biggest load of crap was bloses point deduction. Why did they get it mid season?? Theybshould have had it the start of the following season like sheff wed have. That almost certainly would have relegated them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times they've got some lucky break. Bolton completely imploding. That arse Wagner playing the under 11's against them. Then the points deduction in the one good season they've had. Next they'll be about half an hour away from liquidation and get some premier league bailout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
