So annoying we couldn’t win one of the last couple of games. Being 7pts ahead of Rotherham would help me sleep better!!

Ran it pretty well into the ground 

And we don’t even own that ground anymore 

The Mel Morris era coming to a glorious end. Loved the club, but had no idea how to run it. 

4 points needed from the next two games. Minimum. 

We're the third worst team in the division based on form (last 6 fixtures). The two teams worse than us? Our next two opponents! Blackburn haven't won in seven games, and Preston only have one win in the their last eight. Surely we can win at least one of those games?

If we go down, do we think Rooney keeps his job?

The wailing and gnashing of teeth on this forum can be heard from Madrid. Probably what alerted Erik to our vulnerability. 

Could do with the Bees smashing Blues tonight, otherwise our game against them suddenly looks horrible. 

Just wait until we finish the season 5 points clear of the relegation zone and get slapped with a -6 fine from the EFL. ?

Hahahaaha. We’re so going down this year. 

If Blues beat Brentford I will be feeling very glum ? 

Those final four games look tasty. Preston, Blues, and Wednesday all looking over their shoulders right now. 

Do we think that this “experience” will help young players like Sibley in the long run or will it hinder their progress? Sibley and Bird seem worse than they were a year ago. Buchanan and Knight seem to be about the same level. 

Mel’s obsession with upping the percentage of Academy players in the first team squad is fundamentally flawed and could see us getting relegated. Many of these players aren’t good enough yet and forcing them to play in a losing team is not gonna help them or us long term.

With Bielik out and Rooney tinkering and players eg Knight not playing in their best position we are going to have to buck our ideas up if we are to escape relegation.

We look so poor without Bielik. ?

My main concern is that we struggle against fellow strugglers. Regularly losing those supposed “six pointers” will keep us bogged down near the relegation zone and scrapping for our lives come the end of the season. Another worry is that if we find it hard to beat teams who are League One bound, that doesn’t bode well for us next season if we do get relegated. Worrying. 

No point in getting our knickers in a twist over this. Fact is, we'll never really know how good he would have been for us. Same with Delap. Maybe they both go on to be top players, that could be down to the coaching of a top two Premier League club, rather than some pre-determined career path we set them on. I wonder if we'd sold Mason Bennett and Lee Holmes shortly after their debuts, we'd also seen the same wailing and gnashing of teeth. If we'd got £2m (rising to £6m) for Bennett and Holmes, we would have done pretty well in retrospect. Not every promising 16 year old in the Championship is Jude Bellingham. 

Can’t begrudge the lad. Chance to go and progress your career at one of the best clubs in the world right now, alongside some of the brightest talents, working under a terrific coaching team. Hope he smashes it!! 

Celine and Julie Go Boating 10/10. Hated the first half an hour, absolutely loved it by the end.
