7 wins needed to be safe. Who knows whether or not this bunch of bottlers will get them?

I think there's an awful lot of people who don't think we will be in a relegation battle.
We won't.

We should be ok just because there is a lot of teams equally as bad or slightly worse than us but that says more about the Chanpionship this season than it does about our quality.

no, we are not going to be in a relegation battle
Interested to hear your logic?

No Labour won't do austerity

Because there are number of teams who are worse than us and Lampard has apparently been told he has money to spend.
And thirdly, Wright and EMC should be back very soon.
We'll be fine.

We are in a relegation battle, anybody denying that is stupid
I’m not convinced that spending money (if it is there) will automatically solve the problem. Spending in January is always risky and loses a sober approach to the transfer market. We might be fine, but I think it ‘a going to be close hence a battle.

It’s madness thinking we’re in a relegation battle? Six points off and in January??

6 points clear is an awful long way from safety at this stage. It would take an absolutely monumental collapse for it to happen.

That's a long way. We could lose the next 4 and would still be clear.
Is this sarcasm? If not, I admire your optimism!
Otis

Well if we are. Then so are all these
12 clubs in a relegation battle.
That would be quite the thing.

Not at all. The teams below us aren't getting 2/3 wins in the next 5/6 games.
I would really look at our run-in. We really haven’t taken advantage of some easy games.

Not sure. Was it Saddlebrains who said Lampard had already identifed players to come in?

Look at our squad, it's a relegation quality side.
Binks, Lati, Thomas, Kitching conceed you 2 goals a game.
Eccles, Torp, Rudoni is like watching the blind long jump Olympics, a car crash of ability.
Dasilva, Collins, Asante are league 1 footballers
This group are all league 1 players, no1 wants Eccles or Torp in this division.
Rudoni is the best of a bad bunch.
We have a really poor core group, Dovin, Bidwell, Sheaf, MVE, Mason-Clarke and Wright, Sakamoto are all good players.
Bu that's only 7 players, you need 15 more players that are also competent.
We don't Have that luxury, our depth is league 1 quality.

Tell you what, if Lampard keeps starting Asante and doug doesn’t back him then we’ll be dragged right into it

I think we will all be happy that there is 3 worse teams than us this season! Next season needs some serious recruitment or we could well be 1 of them worse 3 teams

And I wouldn’t trust these players to get us out of it

Plymouth and Hull are two, we scraped to two draws against Cardiff so I'm not convinced they're a third. There's a lot of arrogance on here assuming we won't be in trouble, look at the remaining fixtures and find 7 wins. It's not that straightforward with these players.
There’s also a difference between relegation and a battle. I just don’t understand how people do not think we’re in the latter.

As a seasoned, third generation City fan, every season is a relegation battle.

The usual suspects will say we're far too good to even be in a battle. I just don't see the evidence on the pitch for that, this team is so brittle and losing doesn't even seem to bother them despite chucking 3 points away in a few minutes.
They actually find it funny to be losing games like this. It's so hard to like any of them.

There is an awful lot of shite in this division. We're shite, but not Plymouth/Hull/Derby/Cardiff shite. Not to mention Oxford, who I think will fade badly, and Pompey (the game against us notwithstanding)

That’s exactly the sort of loser attitude we need to get away from

Agreed. All things considered, we’re going to be easily dragged into it with our frailties. Unless there is a miraculous change in these players.
