League one relegation watch

[Walka003]

Why would it upset carol?

She said at the fans forum that she came off social media because of people critising Flitcroft.

Poor little Flick, he might be a monumental failure but he doesn't deserve people talking about it!

I don’t blame her coming off it some of the abuse by a small section is embarrassing especially aimed at her and her family 

Im not botheread about the <ovf censored> flitcroft receives I’m sure he is big enough to take it 

Let’s be honest it’s easy give people <ovf censored> behind a phone screen

Their seems to be a lack of urgency at the top to avoid relegation. Those at the top seen confident and don't seem to acknowledge we are in big trouble.

I think we are heading for the drop

I was on my way to start a relegation thread so glad there already is one.

In terms of the next 5 fixtures I am only writing off Peterborough.

My predictions

Fleetwood A - Draw - Our midfield still hasn't gelled

Leyton Orient H - Draw - Just don't think we'll have it together by then .

Stevenage H - Win - finally some revenge

Peterborough A - Lose of course

Cheltenham A - Lose - Just think DC will have the measure of us

Having said all that I think anything under 7 points from that run is bad news for us.

One of the only upsides from the Portsmouth game and our league position is that it might force our hand a bit and temper the overconfidence with some realism. 

 

I think your being overly optimistic with the Stevenage fixture, I can't see a win there 

[Walka003]

One of the things I've thought about over the weekend. Even if we stay up, looking at promotion places in L2, I don't think we have a prayer next year.

Any of Wrexham, Stockport Mansfield, Notts County and MK dons would out strip us in the transfer market. Most of their current squads would beat ours.

But we've got this Plymouth role model to follow?

Surely we'll challenge for the play offs next season following their example ?

We have just done the league 1 final table predictor and have us finishing on 47 points which has us going down on goal difference.

God that will hurt if it comes true !

We've got 17 games left to get the required points.

I've written off away games at Posh, Derby and Bolton.

Shocked at that. Mustn't know our injury situation and propensity to be a charity case to teams in distress.

Good odds, but I could never back against us. Even yesterday I had them for a home win

I hope this doesn't upset Carol too much, but it's pointless sacking Crosby to make better signings. It's Flitcroft making the signings. They both need sacking if we want any real change. Sacking Crosby will just bring another scapegoat in for Flitcroft's constant failures. 

Sorry for being mean.

I stand by my opinion that Crosby's lack of touchline nous has cost us about 10 points this season. In game decision making has been appalling at times from what I've seen. It's the side of management I feel he has to work on the most, as a coach in his first full season as the top dog between 3pm and 5pm.

I think she said it was people, a small minority, criticising her rather than Flitcroft.  She basically said it’s become toxic.

Don't see where the points are going to come from to climb the ladder of safety.

We never play well against teams in the relegation zone or on a bad run.

We never play well on a Tuesday either.

I am worried for our Lg 1 safety.  Lady luck will no doubt take out a player each game with a lengthy injury as well.  Is our squad capable of fielding a side able to put up a spirited fight.

I think we'll stay up. 2 against Fleetwood, loads of games against those around us. It may hinge on Uche's replacement or lack of however.
