Voinjama Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Just had a look over last seasons fixtures and results. In the last game 8 games the club got 15 points from the last 8 games, which is pretty impressive. 15 points out of a possible 24. But last season Young, Downing were still at the club and Bent was in the team scoring goals. From the last 8 games this season I would be happy with 5. That is how bad we are.

blandy Posted April 2, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 2, 2012 We are gone. Look forward to the Championship next year guys, Peterborough away! Nice. I think so too. Peterborough will make a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yes we are in trouble but lets not give up hope already. 5 points will guarantee our safety, and 4 will mean safety is more then likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Like last year, I'm not overly fussed about relegation. Lots of away trips to places we've not been to in ages, our youth will feature heavilly, a new manager, no Heskey, a chance of finishing in the top half of the league and 3 free games on my season ticket. It would probably be better than scrapping at the bottom of the league which we look destined to do next year if we stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 a new managerThe problem with this is, that's by no means a guarantee. I'm not letting myself think "at least if we go down McLeish will be gone" because that might not happen at all. Imagine that, languishing in the Championship with McLeish still at large.

deeps Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Anyone who thinks relegation won't be a bad thing need to wake up. We will limbo in that division for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Much as I didn't buy it at the time - our terrible run last season was halted as senior players returned to the first 11, and a few goals from Darren Bent. This season is much worse - our injuries won't clear up (Petrov, Dunne, Bent, Jenas) - and our impact signing (Keane) has departed. In my opinion we have 2 winnable games, Stoke, Bolton - and I don't feel that confident about either. Our staying up - is out of hands we need to rely on the others not picking up results - the real concern is Wigan who seem to have strung a few results together - which surprised me. I had wigan and wolves relegated - along with either bolton or blackburn - but I m not so confident now. -Basically we are right in there - the results on Saturday, our injuries, Mcleishs history of end of season collapse's lead me to beleive, for the first time this season that relegation is a distinct possibility. - If it happens I would blame lerner - appoint a twice relegated manager - don't be to surprised if you get relegated.

Stevo985 Posted April 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2012 How many pages was the GED relegation thread Were we this worried 12 months ago ? I don't think so I don't think so either. And I think that's because, like him or not, we were always confident with Houllier's team that we would pick up points. Yes we weren't very good, but you could see the team were still creating things and we could still score goals and have a bit of vision and drive about us. It was a leaky defence that cost us under Houllier as much as anything. But with mcLeish, I and many others genuinely don't see anything to suggest we WILL pick up enough points. I think we will scrape through, but I'm not confident. I wouldn't pin point where we'll get the points because we are capable of losing to any and all of the teams we're left to face.

Mantis Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 At the time I didn't want Martinez but if I had known we'd end up with McLeish I would've loved him here. I think this season just proves how much of a blow it was when we didn't get Martinez. His Wigan are a mere 5 points below us despite the massive gulf in resources. They also don't play the most negative football in the league either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Wigan are in good form at the minute 1 defeat in 8 games out of all the teams at the bottom id say they are the most likely to get out of it Wigans next 4 games Chelsea a Man utd h Arsenal a Fulham a.

AshVilla Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Football is a strange game i really can see them getting something out of the Man U game I think the pressure is on and they will have 1 eye on the city game at the etihad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Wigan are the ones below I am watching most closely. Yes they have 3 tough games coming up, but I believe they are the ones most likely to get out of it. They were adrift in January, but from nowhere they have sneaked up. They are going to do a last day houdini act again. Their last game is against a Wolves team who will already be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
