When will the drop come?

[Ferrite]

Just looking at the fixtures for the rest of the season and based on the current points drop to try to work out when relegation might be mathematically confirmed. The Easter fixtures away to Orient & home to Stevenage look the most likely. To be relegated then, we’d need to be 12-15 points behind, which seems pretty likely given where we are now.

Any other predictions?

I predict a riot

Thought i’d quote Kaiser Chiefs just to add a bit of variety.

Probably now, can’t see us reaching 3rd bottom

If we need to win our last 4/5 games to stay up I wouldn’t get too optimistic!

August.
We’ve known which direction the club were going long before that though and it was a matter of time.

But after these next two games.

The team who finished bottom in the last five (completed) seasons finished with the following points total’s:
34, 36, 38, 40, 43

Stats have been predicting an end of season total of about 33 points for a good while now.

Oldham are on a bit of a roll with 8 points from the last 12.
They will beat Bradford on Saturday and move out of the bottom three and on to 29 points.

The 22nd placed team should survive with 35 points.

Tues 15th March @ earliest?
Tues 22nd March @ latest?

As Greavsie used to say “it’s a”
and Carlisle are only 6 points in front!

A couple of wins on the spin and it’s a whole new ball game?

Without a couple of wins on the spin and the ball game is National League

The drop came when Cox was kept on at the end of last season

Yes keeping that tool in the shed too long cost us ..

I pinned Mid March as being mathematically down .. teams around us , well more accurately above us all seam to be playing better and scoring goals ..something we still cant do even after the January sales where it appears we may have picked up a couple of faulty items.

Grant Delaney happy with
Feeney ok
Nuttal Burns Pyke jury still out
Sinclair not impressed as much as i thought he would
Matheson .. return for refund

Kieth Hill .. some of his team selections are a tas strange but keeping the faith as he inherited such a shit in a basket.

Possibly although his record is better than Hill’s at this stage of the season.

That’s because he sat everybody behind the ball and crossed his fingers that we robbed a flukey goal.

Cox is and will always be utter dog shit. This is the prat who has a squad full of players who couldn’t even press because he didn’t even work them hard enough to get them match fit.

Swann’s fault for keeping him on as long as he did. If we got Hill much earlier on, we’d be a lot better off than we are.

Are we really in a position where we can be picky about how we pick up points?

Hill’s got the same number of points in more games; why are you so convinced he’d have changed things if he’d been here sooner?

Last season was so bad. Certainly for home night matches the majority of the squad did not know if they were playing until they reported in that night !

90 mins before a game they were told the formation and the game plan. They never worked on a game plan in training because he didn’t know what he was going to do !!

He was clueless.
