Unless we suddenly put a run together which replicates promotion form, we are well and truly fucked.
The lower down you are the less the players get sold for as it is normally clubs 1 or 2 levels above that are interested in them.Although I think we will struggle next year, it might be in their best interests to keep us in the league as part of his beloved breakeven is selling young players.
- Do academies work the same in non league or is it easier to pick off young players
- Are we as attractive to young players who want league football
But besides that it is all sunshine and hunky doryness.I am resigned to the fact we will be relegated... we dont have a team capable of drawing never mind winning we have had about 4 shots on target in the last 3 games... not much hope considering our strike force are beyond shit and theres no confidence running through the team even considering we have brought in new blood
David Bowies music ?But besides that it is all sunshine and hunky doryness.
The way things are going the Academy players is all that's left, so they won't need Ryton next season because they will be in the first team playing at the Ricoh. :wacky:The academy golden goose may of laid it's last egg. Don't forget the academy is out on its arse at the end of the season. No announcement yet of where it's moving too or even if there will be one next season.
I just looked at the fixture list to come up with ideas for good away days after the next 2 away games I'm planning (Wimbles and MK).
And looking at the games left, I thought......oh dear oh dear, as Barry Chuckle might say. I hadn't fully clocked this, but after tomorrow we have a month to save ourselves with games against 6 teams who are in the bottom half, 4 of whom are right in the relegation mix (Oldham, Shrewsbury, Bury, Swindon, with Gills just above them and Wimbledon also bottom half). So far, so winnable you'd think (unless you recall our results against ALL these sides this season and also recent howlers against Northampton and Chesterfield).
But from mid-March it's an absolute clusterfuck:
Bradford - 5th currently
Southend - 7th
then we play MK Dons in 15th, the one exception to playing top half sides in the last 10 games
Bristol R - 8th
Sheff United - 2nd
Peterborough -9th
Charlton - 11th
Rochdale -6th
Walsall - 12th
Scunthorpe - 1st
Assuming our form doesn't get much better, we'll hit the Bradford game still well adrift of safety. With that lot in the run-in, I suspect we might be mathematically confirmed with 4 games to go.
We're on 21 points now, I almost don't mind at this point if we go down giving it a real fight, but if we go down with 35 points or something pathetic it really will be a sorry time. You do fear that we'll "do a Derby" and just keep turning up every week and walking away with nul points, leaving us going down in flames.
You forget one thing. It never really goes the way you see it does it? Its unpredictable even for CCFC. Far too many parameters to make a prediction. As so often happens results will be surprising either way. The only thing we can do is judge how we play the next few games. If we gather a couple of wins the whole outlook will change. The crucial period is the next few.
You think we'll stay up then?Looks like you'll still be two divisions below us next season.
And don't forget everyone talks about the collapse last season but in the last 6 games we won 4 including Millwall (4th) Bradford (5th) Sheff U (11th) and only lost 1-0 away to Wigan.You forget one thing.

Thats true it was too late to do us any good but 2 of those clubs had everything to play for so were obviously trying. I think the pressure was on us as well after the run we had. It does show that no result is a foregone conclusion though.Problem was it was too late by then.

It's going to take more than a couple of wins to change our outlook. Two wins will probably still leave us bottom. I'd say we need four or five wins to change our outlook.<snip> The only thing we can do is judge how we play the next few games. If we gather a couple of wins the whole outlook will change.

Paxman is an incurable romantic, believes in God and tooth fairies.Was it not said that the last few games were crucial ?
Burge today was truly dreadful.I think it's fair to say it's too much a ask. We're all out of luck, even big penalty shouts we cannot win, no sign of a goal, and Burge won't keep you in the league.
Im defeated.... the bulk of the squad is not up to standard or the fight required.
Burge today was truly dreadful.
Always maintained that he gives the back four the jitters.
Certainly did today.
NoYou think we'll stay up then?
It was a dreadful mistake yesterday.I'm struggling to see any good in him, being behind the goal and Chesterfield and Northampton gave me a better insight into his game rather than block 21.
His all round game is poor, I pleased his contract is up in months....
Goes down as one of the worst keepers to wear the shirt.
Today was the worst for a while.... kicking was he's strongest today which suggest how bad he was.
If he caught a cold he'd likely spill it!
Yay! Party round my house at 8. Bring Frazzles and cheesy biscuits.Does it count as mid February yet? Am I allowed to go back to thinking we are definitely down?
At least Swindon are losing now, still only 8 points off.
Yes I agree a trip to Wembley could be our last hope.I think the only thing now that can turn our season around is the trip to Wembley.
We win on Tuesday and we are going to be buzzing for a few days at least. Maybe, just maybe that will boost the morale and spirit in the dressing room.
