How many points for safety?

Last 3 seasons:

22/23: 46

21/22: 40 (wow)

20/21: 48

44/45 points average

February 29

I’d say park the bus, but we’re not even taking them down now.

February 29

I’m going, but I need help from 33 others. I have a message written out on individual placards to hold up. I’ll do F, but I need:
UCK OFF FLITCROFT YOU BRAZEN CHARLATAN

I suppose 15 helpers would do at a push.

Moore must have known relegation was a distinct possibility, surely he can't walk if we do go down as:

His career will be on the downslide and he'll need to restore it to get a decent job

He'll look insincere if he signs a really long deal then walks away (as I don't think he'll be sacked.)

So what are people's thoughts on the chances that he will be our manager should we go down? I am not personally going to judge his performance until he's had a significant number of games under his belt having had the chance to shape his own team. I hope he gets the chance to do that whatever league we are in.

I don't think we can even look at his tactics / formations / subs too much at this stage as in all seriousness, what can he do? It'll only change when he brings players in to play the style he wants and he is responsible for managing them having had direct input.

I’d play Garrity up top as the other option. Even Massey would do a better job and at least run down the channels and stretch sides. Loft shouldn’t play again

Massey isn't bad going forward. He rarely loses the ball and puts some nice crosses in, In a 433 he would be ok. It's just as wingback it's too much, as with most of the other players we have who have been asked to play in that position.

Derby have no strikers and lost to crackpot Charlton.

I think we need to be smart here.

Current form table.

scored the least amount of goals in the league in the last 6.

February 27

played once at home against these, beaten them once. we can do it again.

February 26

We need at least 8 points from the Fleetwood and Shrewsbury games to cushion us for games like Derby, Wigan etc. then a minimum of 11 points from Cambridge, Bristol Rovers and Exeter. That’ll be 50 and the rest we can lose.

February 26

If we lose tomorrow then we'll need Wilson to step up like last season in the last last last last chance saloon at Pride Park.

February 26

The attitude of the players is so frustrating because the fixtures are in our favour!

At home: Cambridge, Exeter, inconsistent Bristol Rovers, sliding Oxford, Fleetwood, Shrewsbury.

You really couldn't ask for a better home fixtures going in to the last 1/4.

Couple with that beatable Burton and already beaten Wigan and Northampton away.

18th with 49 points last year: that means we need 6 wins, 8 losses to equal that again.

February 26

Charlton have got 3 in a row away from home, but then Fleetwood and Carlisle back to back.

We are looking at needing to beat Fleetwood and Shrews to stand a chance now.

February 25

At the risk of lol emoji bombardment: Massey is no RWB, but as a right sided forward with an out and out RB behind him he is much more of an attacking threat. He crosses and links up quite well, but as with everyone in that 532 nonsense he was expected to do everything. I’d give him a go over Weir because he looks like another premier league academy player that in the real world is a L2 sub.

Charlton went down early and trained at Everton in preparation for the Bolton game. They are throwing money at it every way they can.

Pope scored significantly (8, 35%) more league goals in one season, 12/13, than Loft has scored in his entire 200 game career.

Nathan Smith, a centre half, has scored more career league goals than Loft. As have Chislett and Garrity from midfield. Even Grant, another defender, isn’t far behind.

23 goals since 2014. WTF was Flitcroft thinking?

peter schmeichel scored more than phil neville throughout his career.

Moore pleased with that, especially as we’ve only had 1 hour (+ 2 classroom sessions) on the training pitch to work on the new shape…

1 hour???

I think we'll need another 30 mins of work on it at least before Saturday.

We didn’t scrimp around - payed 70k for loft! 🤣

That’s what I said. Penny pinching THEN panic splurging. Ultimately costing more because the budget isn’t managed correctly.

February 20

If we hadn’t have tried to scrimp at the beginning of the season we could have spent Uche and Loft’s wages on one decent L1 striker. Instead we picked a guy off the scrap heap, nursed him to fitness, and then he got injured. Meanwhile picking up a dud. Two premium, desperate signings that properly managed like a normal club within a transfer window would have yielded a proper striker who could help us now. We’ve been risking it with penny pinching then panic splurging for a while, and we’ve finally been caught out after years of warning.

February 20

Moore must have known there was a 50/50 chance of going down, so I doubt he’ll walk if we do.

February 20

These two upcoming home games are of acute significance.

4 at the back according to Radio Stoke.

My worry is that’s wishful thinking and it’s actually Mighten LWB, Lowe RCB in a 532. Hopefully that is how we line up though.
