If we keep having games without a shot on target we will be lucky to be part of a relegation battle

Unfortunately I think we will be bottom 6 most of the season. The one possible bright spot is that we have got to have a good run at some period this season. As it hasn't happened yet we have it to come.

We went 7 unbeaten earlier in the season. Can you really see that happening again?

2 wins (pboro,colchester)

And yet our last 6 form has us 15th in the form table. Not quite good enough to drag us out of the relegation battle.

There are three games we lost deciding where we are atm and how we feel about our chances for a decent season: The defeats at Scunthorpe and Crewe in the league and the defeat to Worchester in the FA cup. Had we won those three games as we really should with the players we have then it would all look so very different.

and yet if it continues then it will pull us out.

No In truth I can't. We had 4 wins one of which was in the JPT and three draws. So whilst it was better than today its not a great run. It needs to be 15 undefeated and ten out of those need to be wins if we are going to challenge for play offs. Can I see that happening? No.

we are in it at the moment I think but there is time for that to change. Certainly do not see us pushing for promotion, but even that is still possible (but I feel very unlikely).
If we are talking form guide then after 19 games the table doesn't really lie does it 18th is not pushing for the top. 2 wins in the last 12 matches, 7 losses. But I suppose its all the fault of the pitch and the Ricoh, not the players and manager
Worrying certainly but we should be ok ........ shouldn't we!!!?

Worryingly I think that unbeaten run was down to a fair bit of luck rather than playing well and deserving it.

poor quality squad of uncommitted loanees which will no doubt be supplemented and replaced by another intake of equally as uncommitted rejects and cast-offs in January.
Doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
33/1 for promotion, 9/2 relegation.
I know where I'd put my £20.

I am trying to stay optimistic but I can't see us scoring enough goals to win the games we need to stay up.
My only hope is Pressley uses the Jan transfer market much better than he has used all the other transfer periods, but I feel thats a slim hope, but being one of the more mature Cov fan I have learnt over the years that you should never lose hope altogether

As Stupot say's, our post Christmas form is very shaky of late and anything like last season and we're down. It would appear that our owners are going to stick with the hapless Pressley so he has one more transfer window to buy, loan or free well otherwise with the squad we have, again we will go down. The problem we have is that the team do not inspire and with that comes dwindling attendances. That feeds onto the players who are a mix of frees and loans who will begin to lose interest as the fans do. Unfortunately I do not think we will stay up, I would love us to stay up and to push on for promotion but I think there is more chance of a new stadium.

I think there are worse teams than us in this league. Even if we play poorly for the majority of the rest of the season, we should have enough to stay up.

I'd rather not be wondering whether we're going to be in a relegation battle. It's hard enough to stay positive whilst reading match reports without worrying about relegation too.

CCFC is just like my missus. Neither will go down.

While I don't think our squad is anywhere near as good as last year I don't think it's a squad that should be getting us relegated. That said our form traditionally dips after Xmas and SP seems to struggle to get the best out of the players or be able to get us out of a slump.
Don't think we'll go down but that's more to do with how bad this division is. Think it will be pretty close to the end of the season before we are safe so it could be a nervous few months.

Have you attended any matches because I have yet to see a worse team.
The ones I thought looked worse on the day all beat us.

We are the worst team I have seen in this division, even that exciting win v Peterbrough the first half was probably the worsed at home this season. We can't score goals thanks to Waggott selling all our goalscorers Clarke, Wilson, Moussa and Baker and we have suspect goalkeepers and that after letting one of the top keepers in this division slip through our fingers. that is relegation material. Alongside that Pressley has recruited 32 new players. how many of them are good enough, 3, 4. if Waggott is genuinely concerned he would jettison the hapless Pressley now and get a new manager in before the end of the transfer window to give us a fighting chance unfortunately that costs money and sisu will not be spending any of that on the team.
