Another 2-4 anyone?

 

---

[Sick Boy]

2-0 defeat.

 

[CovLad94]

Can see another draw or defeat, we were lucky to come away with anything from a bang average Luton side, albeit they were denied a blatant penalty and we should've been down to ten men, not going to get that much luck every week.
We played well second half though so hopefully they carry over that bit of confidence into the next few games.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Coventry to win 2-1 Godden and Vik

 

[Covkid1968#]

1-3 win…. No problemo

 

[PVA]

No. Since the 1999/2000 season 53 points would keep you up. One exception being 2012/13. Peterborough relegated on 54.

I think we will win today

I didn’t ignore it it’s straw clutching

Our firm has been in decline in a very similar way to the 2015 season.

19 points from the first 10 games
12 points from the next 10 games
11 points from the next 10 games
12 points from the next 10 games

Going across 2 seasons now:

11 points from the next 10 games

No trend other than the first cluster of results suggest we will get to 50 points

As things stand we need 48 points from 40 games to even hit 50 which is just about what we’ve been achieving for most of last season - the promoted teams have been far better than anticipated - can’t see a Peterborough this time or Derby having to push uphill from an impossible points deduction

All these results were also achieved with O Hare in the team. We will have to sell in January - that’s clearly what is being said with all these press comments and we can’t afford contract run downs and further fee debakuation

Even robins now says it will be an achievement to stay in the league.

We aren’t getting to 53 points on any indicators at present anyway and Birmingham and Middlesbrough are huge games

You’ve maintained the squad is stronger - can’t see it myself

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Fancy 2-0 or 3-1 to us with Vik and Godden on the Scoresheet

 

[Ashdown]

Robins always covers his arse by downplaying our chances and bemoaning our difficulties . It’s just the way he his.

Its true he’s hardly bustling with enthusiasm ever but he is seemingly taking some swipes at those above him

 

[LastGarrison]

Definitely going in my BTTS bet.

Fancy us to nick it late.

Do you see a Scott Parker scenario, where if we lose today he will get sacked because of the comments he has made?

Like I’ve said before, name 3 worse teams. I can’t

 

[Grendel]

The real surprise is the way the promoted teams have pushed on and I’d have thought reading and Blackpool would struggle

Middlesbrough will improve. Today we are playing a poor team I think but a defeat again it’s going to get very desperate

I didn’t expect Rotherham to do anything but struggle particularly given their transfer activity and previous form in this league. Wigan seem the weakest of the 3 but nowhere near to Peterborough last season. Sunderland were always going to spend big and will be mid table or thereabouts-we needed Wycombe to come up instead.

We are this season’s Barnsley without even the play off experience. And really it’s all so needless

 

[Ashdown]

He should be taking swipes, they’re pretty rubbish by todays standards . But then he needs to cheer up his negativity will be damaging morale.

How is it straw clutching? You said 53 points is relegation form when the stats, which you seem to want to use, show that it literally is not relegation form.

Robins has always said it would be an achievement to stay in this league.

I said the squad was stronger before we sold our best defender and lost our only LWB backup.

It’s entirely straw clutching and classic binary behaviour ignoring the overall point as usual

Who was the LWB back up?

 

[Evo1883]

As it stands at the moment , relegation currently sits at 1 point per game With Swansea being on 9 points from 9 games , which is also what WBA and Boro are on , we win today everything will feel so much better with 3 games in hand still

 

[PVA]

You said 53 points over 46 games is relegation form. It isn't. Just admit you got that wrong.

I've got better things to do with my day than have ridiculous arguments with someone who's own stats prove themselves wrong.

 

[Evo1883]

Basically we need a win to get going ASAP

 

[Grendel]

As it stands at the moment , relegation currently sits at 1 point per game With Swansea being on 9 points from 9 games

Teams improve positions as the season progresses - I don’t see Boro and Swansea as 46 point teams in the same way I didn’t see Forest ending up on 7 points last season

 

[Evo1883]

I don't see us being relegated either ..

We will improve , let's be honest if we are looking at the footballing positives we should be sat here on 8 or 9 points already with 3 games in hand if Simon Moore uncharacteristically didn't make 3 mistakes over 3 matches

We will be fine , we've played 1 home match , we always get better away as a season progresses too

I didn’t get it wrong and as usual your binary behaviour and flailing attempts at internet points and failure to even look at a declining trend is noted

Whose the LWB anyway

 

[Evo1883]

And If i was to point to another positive, we looked a bit more like coventry city second half midweek

Is 53 points relegation form? Simple question. You said yes.

It isn't.

Just admit you were wrong for once in your life.

most teams say they’d be higher up without mistakes - mistakes are weaknesses of the players - we are going to have to play something ridiculous like 22 home games in the remaining I think 23 weeks of the season. The squad is clearly thin and we will have to sell in January

Exactly how I see it too

Yes it is because through the whole season the clubs at that PPG level you are always in the bottom 5 or6 and added pressure occurs - Cardiff last season looked a team in trouble - you wouldn’t be clear of relegation until very near the end of the season - it’s again you taking a comment literally without context

You don't half talk some utter shite.

There's no context to take, 53 points over 46 games is not relegation form. That's a fact.

Should the taxi be cancelled now then? You said before he should go because he didn't criticise Sisu.
