Arthur Whittle 0 Posted November 28, 2008 Lets look at this honestly, can anyone really see us failing to finish above the likes of Doncaster, Forest, Southampton, Blackpool to name a few? The results are not going our way, but we are making chances, and thats more than some of the tripe teams ive watched this year. Im not kidding myself, this club needs changes from top to bottom, boardroom to the transfer policy, but realisticly we are too strong to go down. Now I know nobody is too good to go down, but look at the teams around us like Barnsley or even Charlton-dreadful. We may be losing a few but we are not getting hammered. Things need to change here, im not being a fool, I know we wont be challenging for promotion, but we wont be going down either. I know people say "nobodys too good to go down" but frankly when push comes to shove we will have enough points and that im sure of. I dont like the board, im not Roeders no1 fan but I do admire what hes done on peanuts, im not even keen on a few of our players but I love this club.We wont go down, and I promise you all if we do you will never hear from me again! { Now some of you probably hope we go down![;)]} Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Time to go Delia 0 Posted November 28, 2008 Charlton could well turn it around under a new manager ,as could Forest (Calderwood expected to get sacked anyday now) , Doncaster beat Ipswich so they can get a result when needed . As for us , well after Lita goes back just who will put the ball in the net ? Lupoli who if he gets a start can hardly last 45 mins , Koroma ? not likely is it . (and i dont think an ageing Iverson is the answer either) . We have a weak uncreative midfield , nobody who can score to save their lives and a defence that conceeds every game without fail , one of the worst managers in our history and add to that we are totally skint and i would say there is every chance we will go down .

Ivan Easter 0 Posted November 28, 2008 We will go down if something is not sorted out soon. If we don''t get some consistency soon we will go down. And by the way Roeder has run out of time in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.B.C 1 Posted November 29, 2008 Feel vey confident that we will not go down. There are a lot worser teams than us. The thing with us so far this season, is that we play well one week and crap next week, also we have played some of the best football I have seen for a few years and lose then go and play badly and grab an undeserved point or win. We will pull out of the relegation zone PDQ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

farley 0 Posted November 29, 2008 Usually a team can only go so long by doing the bare minimum to survive until something has to give. Several seasons of poor quality, and at the moment I feel that this season is the season that breaks the camels back!(Now having said that we''ll go and beat Wednesday by 3!).
