You beat me to it. And they won the Johnson's Paint trophy during their amazing turnround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 @Bris Vegas I hardly think my post was worth putting up there. Its not negative or saying we were in a relegation battle at all. All I said was that the defense were doing a good job but the attackers were struggling. That was fact. The other bit was hoping it doesn't continue. You should tar everyone with the same brush. Its fine in hindsight to do a 'I told you so' but it doesn't make you clever or right for that matter everyone, has the right an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 this thread from the poster who was adamant we would do well to finish in the top 8 last season when Wassall was running things! Scare mongering to the max. I never once thought we were in a relegation battle. We have too much quality and a owner willing to pull the trigger, which he thankfully did. All we needed was positive intent on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next phase should be easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is more to come and I think we have scored better team goals in Mac's first season. I'm optimistic and always have been. It's always better to peak late in this league and take that momentum into the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsPolls Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 We aren't in a relegation battle. We maybe not even be in a promotion battle. Take the season game by game until 1st of March and look at the table then. Nottingham Forest are the ones in a relegation battle. They don't have the squad depth to get them out of this rot that they are in. UP THE RAMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anything about that, all I said was that Benty goal in my OPINION is goal of the SEASON.. But yeah you're right there could be more to come from now to May BUT I still think Benty goal is goal of the season I ain't going to change my mind on that anyway.

archied Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 On 05/11/2016 at 21:37, Bris Vegas said: Simple maths suggest making the playoffs is an extremely tough task, hence why I said it. 75 points on average gets you there. So we need 55 points from 30 games, 1.83 per match or 85 points over a 46-game campaign which we did in our best year under McClaren. There is a difference in saying it's a write off in terms of promotion, as IMO it is, than just naming it a write off altogether. There are still plenty of positives we can take even if we don't make top six. Think what people miss sometimes is we are talking about putting a run together averaging 1.83 per match ? Not doing it over a full season which is far more difficult to sustain ,, most teams in the championship ( apart from the odd glitch season /team that run amok) have bad spells and great spells where they average very high points ,, play off is a very real possibility , if results went half ways decent over the next few weeks we could easily find ourselves 3 points off play offs in three games time , we have had a massive bad spell but there is a growing feeling around the club and a momentum building that could easily see us rump up the table and be right in the shake up,, not saying it will happen but it is very reachable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were so awful and so dispirited, it was hard not to wonder if we could sleepwalk into a relegation battle after that day. Edit: it would be more accurate to express it in reverse. It was easy to imagine us sleepwalking into a relegation battle after our performance against Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite clear what i thought. We wouldn't cos the chairman would pull the trigger, and he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 How would you define relegation battle ? My two penny worth : Relegation battle means you are already in the relegation places or losing your next game would put you in said places. We are not in a relegation battle (at the moment) and current form suggests we won't be We are also not promotion contenders but current form suggest we could be. This is stating the obvious and written cos I'm fed up waiting for Saturday and the hope that we are going to put on a show and silence the gloom mongers.

Secondly, it is 5.47am here and I have not slept even a minute on either of the last two nights and was pretty restless for at least the two before that. In other words, I am not surprised I am not making any sense right now. I'd be more surprised if I am writing anything even remotely recognisable as English. I blame my insomnia. Sorry.
