Deano 0 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 So we were defeated by fellow strugglers Bolton on sunday and it wasnt the result which was most dissapointing as the performance was of a side who looked not to be a premier league club. What a difference 3 days made, same end result which essentially is the main thing but what was encouraging was in the manner of our performace against the best team in the world. Although we got nothing out of the game we can be heartened by the way we looked to get at ManU and played football again...Bassong, Enrique, Gutierrez and Martins all played well and we need these players to up there game again if we are to get anything out of our immediate upcoming fixtures. We also have Owen and Guthrie back for the away trip too Hull and hopefully they can bring something to the side as the season comes to a close, followed by the returns of much missed rightback Beye and the box to box energy of Barton. We can salvage this season, its not beyond us but i am worried. Worried because we have to rely on other teams results and our fait is no longer in our own hands. These fixtures are the crucial MUST win games, ALL are game's we SHOULD win and all the more important as all the sides are in the same trouble we find ourselves in maybe barring Hull. A point at Hull is a minimal requirement but we really need to be winning against them, and id like to think our boys will want to do them in revenge for our latter two results against them. Stoke City is another tough away game but again we should want revenge for letting a two goal lead slip against them at home. Pompey, Boro and Fulham games are WIN WIN WIN...its a must. The rest of the fixtures are a write off for me and if we pick up points in those games its a bonus. Should we get positive results in those bolded fixtures, im estimating 12-15 points from those games, maybe the Hull and Stoke games we may drop points and only get draws. So 15 points just from the bolded fixtures would leave us on 40-42 points with the possibile bonus of unexpected points in the other games. Its not beyond us and with key players coming back we could well do it, im hopefull but not as optimistic. Come on boyz save our club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob toonpants 3621 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Have you people even looked at Stokes home record? The look at their away record and remember that we didnt manage to beat them at home Now look at our away record. Hull away, they will be flying after snatching a win and releasing the pressure They've beaten us twice already this season, this has come at the perfect time for them. We will be pointless until Portsmouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6198 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If we don't pick up a point before the Portsmouth game, we're going down for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 6441 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 As relatively heartening as tonight was (it was a home defeat, after all) what we are SHIT at is scrapping with scrappers...we'll have more red cards and make more mistakes and if we stay up it'll be thanks to others being more awful than we have been.

leannenufc 0 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 How much did they pay for Beattie? Why weren't we in for him? Exactly what I said when he scored tonight. He's exactly the sort of player we could do with right now. I'm convinced we're going down. Can't see us getting anymore than a point away from home and I don't think we're likely to win all of the crucial home games either. I've already started paying extra attention to who is likely to be relegated/promoted from the Championship this season so I can figure out which away games I'll be going to next year.

JUICE690 0 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 To put it in a little more perspective, here's the run in for 3 of the 4 teams (I think we can write WBA off) Ours is easily the worst of the lot. Fuck me we really should have been in a much safer position at this stage having only played the top teams once so far this season. * Please do not post fixture lists * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouthwatering potential trips to Peterborough, Milton Keynes, Scunthorpe, Walsall, Colchester, Southend... When I say mouthwatering I mean that water you get in your mouth just before you vomit.
