briny_ear Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Not sure how, but I ended up having us finishing in 15th when going through the BBC's predictor thingy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 We are pretty reliant on that another team must hit a brick wall, maybe two teams. I hate it when it`s not only our results that count but others have an impact too(yes they always do but you know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Bottom line for me is will they take a decent performance against Everton into the WHU game. Then I can judge my optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmyjob Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 If we keep playing like we did against everton, win the west ham game and get something from Arsenal then there's hope. I'm quietly optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 No, we mustn't play like we did against Everton! If we keep leaking goals even when our forwards are having a good day, we are truly stuffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) No, we mustn't play like we did against Everton! If we keep leaking goals even when our forwards are having a good day, we are truly stuffed. ditto some just really don't get it do they? Briny is spot on.

AstonMartin82 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 If we win the west ham game and get something from Arsenal then there's hope. We should change the thread title to February Pessimism Gauge. Does that answer the question posed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Interesting to see how optimism level tend to rise the more days go by that we don't play, only to sink again once we actually have a go at playing a match. Maybe there is a secret here? Anyway, let's hope very hard we beat Wet Spam - we need to do that just to stay in with a chance of getting out of this mess. Lose or draw and we are in big troub.

markavfc40 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Looking at this weekends fixtures there is a good chance we will go into the game on Sunday knowing that 3 points will get us out of the bottom three. I'd like to think that kind of incentive and the fact we would have gained confidence from how we have performed recently gives me confidence we can secure 3 points on Sunday. If we do that then it would also put us with in 4 or 5 points of Fulham and Norwich who play each other this weekend.What has gone on previously this season is in the past now and we can do **** all about that. I am as disappointed as anyone that we didn't do more in the transfer window, am at the end of my tether with Randy Lerner and frustrated with many of Lamberts team selections in terms of formation.What I would like to see now though from manager, players and fans is a real focus to get the maximum we can out of the remaining games. To give our all on the pitch and for the fans to get right behind the players.The inquest as to why we have again found ourselves deep in the mire can begin at the end of the season. For now though lets all try and unite behind the team and try and help influence a never say die attitude ensuring they all give every last grain of energy and effort and that will hopefully help see us safe. I am convinced we can still stay up and with so much to still play for now is not the time to throw the towel in. It is time for us all to roll up our sleeves, get ourselves down to VP and give the players as much backing as we possibly can. Our support both in terms of numbers and passion should, if used in a positive way, be an advantage we have over the other relegation candidates so lets use it.

Richard Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Shit form Team that is not used to battles Points behind those above us Other teams around us in better form Lost hom games against those around us Some tough fixtures upcoming Not had a back to back league win since May 2011 Poor goal difference Sorry but we are down.

Eric Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Come on Richard! It looks bad. But I think it was far worse mid Jan. We actually play better football now AND been a bit unlucky. To be honest I actually think we just need a couple of results to build more confidence. That said I'm sure it's going to be a frustrating 3 months but we are not out of it yet.

I just think that is looking at things in isolation a bit and not looking at things "in the round" using corporate speak of which we all love so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Some, a bit, not the greatest percentage sure. Many people are to blame. Enough blame for me to say he should be sacked or he is not the man we need for the long term benefit of this club? No. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 We actually play better football now AND been a bit unlucky. Another hallmark of a relegation team... Bad luck & we have it in bucket loads.. also the victims of many a poor decision too (linesman at Man City for eg) which too is a symptom of a relegation team.

AXD Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 qpr arent looking that great even after stocking up on players... im still reasonably optimistic, alot hangs on the game tomorrow. We shouldn't be focussing on QPR but on reading, wigan and southampton. two of those sides have to finish below us. QPR will only become a threat if they have a decent run.
