Is it even possible to survive? (1 Viewer)

[curly_tom]

If we were to win all 6 remaining games, (which let's face it, we won't) would that be enough to stay up? I guess it would require one of those on 45 to win no more than 4 points and the others not to get many more. Almost impossible I think, especially given that we are away to Sheff tomorrow. It feels like after the highs of Sunday we should win but I would suspect it will have the reverse effect. I should add that I'm the eternal optimist with CCFC but this is as good as I can manage.

150/1 according to the bookies

If we get to 50 (which we won't btw) it would give us a slim chance of survival. If i had to put a number on it i would say 50 points give us about a 25-30% chance of surviving.

Every player gave everything on Sunday have they anything left in the tank for tomorrow night

The current table suggests 51 points will be needed to stay up. With our poor goal difference its effectively 52 points for us. A bit of a problem considering we can only get a maximum of 50 points.

In all honesty, if we're not mathematically down by 5pm this Saturday we will be doing well.

 

[curly_tom]

The goal difference would be much better were we to win 6 games of course, at least 6 better anyway. I think it's impossible to win 6 in a row, as said they will be knackered after the efforts on Sunday and presumably a monumental piss-up on the way back to Cov or in come hotel in London. I'd struggle to do sport tomorrow...

 

[rob9872]

Highly unlikely ... but ... we've won 3 in a row, take one game at a time and you never know.

 

[cov4theprem]

Bookies offering HT Sheffield Utd FT Cov 95/1 - could be worth a dapple??!

 

[rob9872]

We never come from behind but 10/1 just to win a single game with confidence high after the weekend is definitely tempting. Doesn't mean much in terms of staying up on its own but still a huge price.

 

[robbiekeane]

Not happening.

But, and it is a massive but however ridiculous it seems...the fact we even have these kind of threads or thoughts right now is massive for going into next season...we have belief again

Fook me!! They are young kids!! Of course they SHOULD be fit for tomorrow! Jeez! I hate these excuses that "We only played a game a couple of days ago". What the fook are they paid for? They should be fit enough for any game!

 

[Houchens Head]

Anyway, apart from the odds of us staying up, anyone got any "nudge, nudge" tips for the National on Saturday? I have 4 horses picked out but not placed bets yet......

 

[stevefloyd]

I guess Turdgay will come back in and Reilly if fit, Jones only played a bit part and we now have Folivi, Bigis on a massive high so we have players to come in although for the rest of the season they haven't really exerted themselves too much so they should be quite fresh really

 

[rob9872]

Dusty carpet. Can't see it getting beaten.

I won't place a bet on Myarse. It was always getting beaten!

 

[Gazolba]

We're down. Accept it and move on.

 

[Paxman II]

Leicester have shown what can happen yet again. They just got their 6th win in a row.

Shrewsbury would have to collapse and we win all 6.

So lets face it we are down.

 

[rupert_bear]

Just makes that three months of Russell Slade even more annoying, who appointed him ? Oh yes it was the bloke who said "judge me in January"

 

[Astute]

We had some massive escapes over the years. We stayed up when there looked little chance. But how it stands now it just won't happen. We need to win every game and other teams need to keep losing.

But if we could get to the last day with just a chance then I would believe.

 

[skybluetony176]

It's not very often a team drops out of this league with 50 points however this season the five teams above the drop zone who theoretically we can catch and pass are already on 45 or more points so I wouldn't be at all surprised if 50 points wasn't enough to survive the drop this season. It's over already I fear. Anything less than a win tonight all but seals it.

Mark Venus would have been the one who recommended Slade to Fisher

 

[hutch1972]

Would be nice to finish off the bottom though , that is a good possibility.

150/1 according to the bookies

I got it at 150/1.
Also took out a double, stay up and win at Wembley at 358/1

if we're not mathematically down by 5pm this Saturday there will be a minimum of 8 more threads wondering if we can stay up. :emoji_smirk:

Physically they'll be OK, mentally they might be a bit fragged.

 

[Moff]

Possible to survive - yes
Likely to survive - no

 

[Monners]

We've got two hopes - and this is one of them.

 

[aloisiwouldhavescored]

Possibility of staying up Yes, likelihood of staying up No, and I am the eternal optimist.
Went to Spurs in 1997 when we were all but down and then stayed up against all the odds, but think this time it is too little too late.
As long as we keep fighting to the bitter end though and keep the spirit from Sunday. PUSB.

 

[ajsccfc]

I'd put money on one or more of the teams dropping enough points for us to catch them, but even in our little resurgence I can't see us winning enough points to do so.

 

[skybluedan]

We have been down for a long time

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

I think after the game on Saturday we will be confirmed as relegated, irrespective of how we do against Sheffield and Peterborough.

 

[curly_tom]

Well I guess tonight has sealed it really. It was a vague hope and now no hope. Build for next season, play the kids and hope a few of them hang around for a decent run at League 2. I remember having conversations about how we'd win games next year after the last two relegations so we'll see....

 

[CovBurty]

pretty much a sealed on relegation deal when Mowbray walk. He knew his squad was shit back then.

 

[Ibby]

Its all about next season.

I don't get this at all. Play the kids for next season-isn't that what we have done this season? This is the reason we are bottom and are going down.
