[Shevin Keedy]

I think thats us done.

For today yeah.

 

[JohnRoss23]

Up or down we still have each other

 

[blueconverse]

I just want to watch us play some kind of attacking footy and win more games. We aren't doing it in the pl anytime soon so championship may at least offer that.

We did it for 45mins today. you just wonder what was said in those 15mins to suddenly deflate us so badly...
( No more team talks when were winning games )

First post, have to say relegation just won’t happen as it’s pretty unthinkable. Unimaginable.

has more of an inevitability feeling than last season

It's the trend that matters. Right now, our season has been so poor that we need better than average results to rebalance our situation. In golfing terms, a draw at Forest is a par hole, but we need to be breaking par now and this "hole" was likely one of the better opportunities to do that. It would have had the added bonus of putting our opponent in the water had we done so.

Dyche gives us a chance, but we need to start winning the odd game or two now - when the chance arises. The overall trend - particularly our results against our direct rivals - suggests we will not be able to win enough games to stay up. Draws, in our position, will not be enough. In our position, every game is a "must win" - at least in the sense that we need to start getting some wins. Given our ability - and that of our opponent today - this afternoon was a really important game and a decent chance to win. We missed that - adding to the trend.

You're right tbf. But also we barely get any points away and they are unbeaten at home since September. This draw might be below par as it currently stands.


On the balance of the game though, it does feel disappointing. We are running out of games, we can't have many more games where the performance is promising but the result doesn't come.

Need 18 points which is nearly our current total after 26 games. It ain’t happening.

I don’t understand why players kept making silly mistakes in our own half time after time. Hood it if there is no option.

I think 37 points should be enough this season.

 

[Kirkles]

I've had a quick look around other forums and 8 teams have written their teams off and are all going down according to fans (even palace fans saying they are doomed). Pretty sure it'll only be 3 though.

Why do we need 18 points?

 

[Del-boy]

Why do we need 18 points?

Well 40 points is usually what keeps you up. At a minimum that’s what we should be aiming for at the start of the season. It probably will be lower that 40 but not by much.

It’s going to be a dogfight right to the end of the season. What I would give for the mid table form of couple of seasons back, but that, unfortunately, is not the case. As mentioned above, there are 7-8 clubs that are in real danger of the drop…and we are one of them.
Will we stay up? It’s going to be a crap shoot.
Who knows, maybe the single point this weekend will be the difference.
