3 from 5 to go down

Re: 3 from 5 to go down

it's possible that we can't afford any more money in january without risking breaking FFP regulations in 2022

Sadly true and the paying off or continuing to pay (whichever one it is) MM and TC will not have helped.

Re: 3 from 5 to go down

I'll keep saying it but it was easy to say that without the barrel of a L1 shotgun being pushed in his and Tan's face. If we're in the bottom 3 by January then there's some creative accounting to be done. It's not like the club doesn't have form in that area. It just makes zero sense to say this. I can't fathom it. Seriously, I don't believe.

Hoping that Dalman’s intention is to under promise and over deliver when it comes to transfer/loan funds is all part of my grasping at straws.

Well I'm not telling him

I think I know what you are referring to so I will.

That's 3 from 6 not 3 from 5.

Other than swapping Reading for Preston I think you are correct. Maybe Blackpool will get dragged back into it especially if we recall Wintle.

Blackpool will be fine. Best side we have played this season,

I would hate to have been in the trenches with some of you lot

Yes its not looking great, we have been on a shocking run, but its the 1st week in Nov and people are talking about relegation :shrug:

All we can do is sit back and watch it unfold.

I think that's a distinct possibility but it's unlikely to be Dalman in my view. I think Tan will make a statement in January for three reasons. 1. It has to be done because of the threat of relegation 2. He (maybe via Dalman) will look good and 3. As has already been mentioned, failure is not an option for him and a good look for him.

I stress, I'm totally guessing here.

Re: 3 from 5 to go down

We should be in this group.
We are falling down the table and Tues night was nothing short of a f’ing disgrace.

I've paid hundreds of pounds to be in these trenches. I'm gonna get my money's worth!

Re: 3 from 5 to go down

We lost 8 in a row, literally the worst run in our entire 122 year history, and we’re still not in the relegation zone. Yet some people are already resigned to relegation? Madness imo.

Mick’s gone and in our first 2 games we already look a lot better. QPR and Stoke are both in the top 6 and aren’t the teams we need to be beating. It’s the games against the bottom 10 where we need to be picking up points and based on the last two performances, and with Morison given some time to work with the team, I can definitely see us winning some of those games.

We were lucky at Stoke and lost at home AGAIN. In a relegation battle performance means nothing, it's wins we need

Ah the old trenches analogy. 🙄 I suppose you would have been sat there with bullets whistling passed your head singing "always look on the bright side of life". The facts are we are in a relegation dog fight and no amount of overly positive thinking will change that.

Get in the bin, that's a ridiculous analogy. We're talking about a team who's just acquired 1 point out of a possible 30 it's hardly ridiculous to be talking about relegation.

And yes it's November, but we've played over a quarter of the season and have only won 3 games, get real.

I deal in facts mate. Fact is we've not got enough quality, aren't scoring, aren't winning and have been told that in January nothing will be happening.

Morison has had barely a week in charge and already got the team playing better. Yes we lost at home AGAIN, but we’re STILL not in the bottom 3 after 1 point from 10 games. Surely this shows our squad has enough talent to stay up when led by a slightly competent manager. A draw and a narrow loss against 2 top 6 sides is fine with me. It’s the upcoming games against the likes of Derby, Hull, Sheffield, etc where I’d find losses concerning.

As for performance meaning nothing, nonsense. I was a lot happier and more confident of results seeing our performance last night than compared to the performance against Swansea or West Brom.
