At this rate we'll struggle to get 35 points, never mind 50. We will now have to win about half our remaining games, 50% win ratio, plus a few draws, to get to probable safety. Even if for the final 17 games we triple the rate at which we've won games so far this season, it isn't likely to be...

This isn't such a bad idea actually. We played our best football of 2016 in April when we had sunk away from the playoffs and the pressure was off; I think there is an argument for doing just as you say. The counter-argument is that throwing them into such a toxic environment in a physical...

Indeed Otis but it is definitely time to stop blaming Mowbray. It is a 46 game season and he managed us in ten of them. We were in touch at the start of January and we had time to strengthen then. I thought TM leaving was the right thing to do, as it would give us enough time to get ourselves...

(puts tin hat on) Don't forget Micky Adams went 8 games or so before he won a game. It must be said that things do not look good for Slade, but I will judge him after Oldham Wimbledon and Gills - if we don't win any of those, I do not see him staying on until May.

So still no win in the league since 1st November. Last week i accepted to myself that we are going to down. Now I'm starting to think we'll do a Derby 2007/08 and go down in flames. Relegation seems unavoidable but for our own sense of pride we need to pull out of this nosedive and at least try...

Yep. We've won 4 league games since April. Winning 8 more before May looks like a very implausible prospect indeed, but that's probably what's needed. I have accepted in my heart we are gone and fully expect it, yet i can't help watching with hopeful fascination.

Has Joey Barton been mentioned or is he banned now due to gambling offences?

It may well be half the crowd that we got for Crewe - that itself would be indictment of how far things have fallen. I expect the announced attendance to be mysteriously slightly higher than what it appears it ought to be.

Live a long way away, but more it's the case that I do not care about this competition. If we get to Wembley I'll go for the day out, but if we lose at Wembley or lose at home to Wycombe, I will not give a damn. It's a meaningless competition as shown by the tiny crowds in the early rounds. I...

The point remains that we have a block of games against the lower sides then a sequence against the higher sides. All things being equal, and i see you're arguing that's not necessarily the case, we need to win a big majority of our next half dozen league games. In the final part of last season...

You missed the most significant point. Millwall score goals. We might as well not turn up.

Problem was it was too late by then.

You think we'll stay up then?

Indeed. I didn't intend to prove we are down, more to show that the supposedly more winnable games are bunched together in the next minth, after which it looks much tougher. Therefore the onus is on us winning 3 or 4 of the next 6. We have played better against the upper sides than those lower...

Jesus wept, and we STILL lost to Northampton when they were bottom of the home form table.... Still, it goes to show that bad runs do end sometime. Come on, lads!

That's a bit extreme.

Well we exhausted that one pretty quickly. Maybe they should do a different sport for the subsequent home game protests - cricket in particular will have enough pun opportunities to keep us going for months...."SISU are stumped as to how to respond", "CCFC clearly on a sticky wicket" etc etc

Hmm, hedge fund........lawn tennis...there must be an angle there somewhere. Anyway, hopefully the protests will rally the fans's spirits.....

Maybe the OP is planning to throw a shopping trolley on the pitch and the thread title is just a ruse to distract the club stewards into vigilantly watching out for tennis balls whilst hundreds of trolleys are sneaked past them, hidden in plain sight....

Errr....let's hope that nobody throwing tennis balls on the pitch ends up in court......I'll get me coat.
