I know! I have posted six times on it.

I knew about the thread even before it was created, a kind of sixth sense if you will.

Well I'm the seventh son of a seventh son and a compulsive liar.

I'm not thinking about staying up anymore. I'm thinking about how on earth we're going to avoid relegation to the Vauxhall Conference in twelve months time.

We need to gain 8 points, but one win may give the team the confidence they need, and I also agree with some posters that a win against Wycombe will also give confidence, and may well boost our survival hopes. Plus our fans deserve a great day out, so I'm hoping for Wembley AND survival (as most posters are)

We can still take 54 points from our remaining games, so we're not "definitely" down as some people keep insisting. However, I said a few games ago that if we didn't beat either Fleetwood or Northampton AND failed to make a game changing signing in the window, I'd begin expecting us to go down without any real further thought of staying up. Respect to the Watford lad who we haven't seen yet, but I'm there. It seems that realistically we have no chance now.

no but its got your goat up and we are totally fucked now

oops

Time to close thread maybe - this season is now defined, unless you give a damn about the JPT to the exclusion of all else

....one game in............we're down.

Last four league games: 4 defeats, no goals.

It's not so bad if you are creating a hat-full of chances but not converting, because one day you think they will go in, but we are creating so, so little.

Yesterday they was the one header, brilliantly tipped over by their keeper and Clarke putting the ball into the side netting in the first half. Both chances to defenders.

There were also a couple of good moves, one that fell to Reilly in the box, but he couldn't get his shot away and one in the first half after a period of good movement and passing, but it wasn't enough and especially not from a home side.

There is a clear lack of quality balls in from the flanks and also a clear lack of chances created.

Also, when was the last time we scored a really good goal? A wonder-strike or fine solo effort?

Been a long while.

For most of the match yesterday we pretty much matched Millwall, but there was a distinct lack of quality from us and just about zero cutting edge.

All the problems out there are very clear to identify.

Inexperienced keepers, silly mistakes from the back, lack of creativity from the midfield, lack of quality balls in from the flanks, lack of plays down to the byline to get the ball into the box, no killer instinct in front of goal.

There is far too much that has needed addressing.

Now it looks like our only hope is an 18 year old from Watford's academy and this mystery big reputation player coming in tomorrow.

Otherwise you have to wonder if we will even win another game this season, let alone but together a winning run.

There is a definite lack of class and edge.

This division is an awful lot about strength and pace.

Last season we had great pace, but no strength. Now, Slade has made us a bit more physical, but there is a distinct lack of pace.

Really hoping this Folivi is like a greyhound, because Tudgay is dead slow and good as Beavon is, he is not the pacy-est.

Reid has pace, but as has been said, no end product to go with it and Jones the same and now half the time they are not even being picked as starters anyway.
