Lord Flashheart 0 Posted February 28, 2009 I''m hoping for the latter but like you say it''s quite difficult to call. So, in the absence of a crystal ball, I''ve decided that I''ll keep doing what I''ve always done: support my team. [Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Poirot 1 Posted February 28, 2009 If you read what the players were saying before the Burnley game, they were saying that dropping into the bottom 3 was the kick up the arse they needed to perform. Two games later and no wins, we can be fairly sure that today was the final nail. We lack quality. And the fact that we have such a huge wage bill is unforgiveable. A bunch of gutless talentless players, and a huge wage bill. The board has so much to answer for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Fish Seller 0 Posted February 28, 2009 [quote user="Arthur Whittle"]Oh well, promotion party at Brentford next season?[/quote]Reckon we''ll need a season or two to adapt to life in the third division by which time we''ll be unable to compete with the newly relegated Clubs with their Championship level budgets, we''ll start a three year plan in year four, sack the manager in year two of the three then start another three year plan and before you know it we''ll be happy to be a solvent mid table third division club. we''ll be shown Accrington Stanley and Kidderminsters books and be made to feel greatful that we''re better off than them even though our crowds of 8,000 only provide half the neccesary income needed for a competitive team but at least we''ll win the award for being the most family friendly club in the third division......It''s called lowering the bar and when it comes to it, Norwich and N. Doncaster in particular are expert at lowering the bar of expectation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clever Farke 75 Posted February 28, 2009 The head says final nail but you can''t help hoping for a miracle. They''ve had kicks up the arse for the last 4 years but they are so very thick skinned by now it makes no difference. No promotion parties to look forward to. This team isn''t even good enough to survive in league 1, let alone the one we will assemble from the scraps. We''ll spend several seasons down there. Next year will be about trying to survive financially and avoiding the drop to league 2 before we can start to build a squad for a promotion bid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hurricane 0 Posted February 28, 2009 Well being optomistic if the players think they are down they may play with less pressure on them (although running around a pitch for 90 mins for 5k a week is a pressure i wouldnt mind) and could perform an escape from the drop!!I will wait now for the next few days for the headlines we can all expect from the usual suspects doc/russell etc about performing against qpr and how they ow it to the fans, followed by some kind of comments from doncaster about how we are skint skint and even more skint thankyou very much.

The final nail is perhaps only a matter of a post mortum and process of embalming away.In otherwords there may still be a chance but it''s going to take something massive to do it and I think we lack the characters in the team to rely upon that happening.

Helsinki canary 302 Posted February 28, 2009 The only slight possibility is that the team might perform better away from home as the pressure from the home crowd is less, they are not expected to win away from home - so dont be surprised if the next 2 away games bring a few points in! 1 on tuesday and 3 on saturday - thats my prediction......

You name the away games but the home match against Plymouth could be a real six pointer - on the other hand the final nail could have been driven in by then . . . . . .
