Tyler Durden Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Did we ever get out of the bottom 3 at any point during out infamous 11 point season? What about when we beat Newcastle. I've tried to place a mental block on that entire campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I think this is actually the lowest we've ever been in the 2nd tier. In the seasons where we've been relegated there were only 22 teams, so we never actually got as low as 23rd. It's possible we might have been briefly lower, especially after a couple of games, but I can't specifically remember it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Martin Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Didn't they say on sky sports if we lost today it would be our worst start to a season (at home) for 132 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine having a centre forward of that quality...imagine having a centre forward! Davison was the only bright spark that year, just remembered Paul Futcher, another crock. Take out Bucko the rest were garbage really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're even better than us. I'd have backed Cocu even if we sat in mid table all season. We can't be staring at relegation though. I think he'll be gone by next week if we dont beat Barnsley. Which makes my heart sink because I quite like Cocu. He saved us from becoming a laughing stock after everything that happened off the field. He seems a really nice bloke. He's got one game to save his job in my mind. And I feel horrible saying that. Barnsley have a billionaire owner apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might have put us 17th and who knows.? I have know idea who was below us at that stage but they must have gone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckram Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 14 minutes ago, TomTom92 said: They say 50 points is the magic number to stay up. We need to win just under 50% of our remaining matches to achieve that, not quite 6ft under yet but a lot closer than a lot of our fans would have us believe. You simply can't write off 10 matches in the championship and blame injuries and bad luck. It’s closer to 40% of our games rather than just under 50%, so not quite as daunting but still a big task. Sounds better to say 1.2 points per game! Draws will be massive for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 This is the worst it’s been since Nigel Pearson, by a long way too. We just don’t look to have any idea what we’re doing on the pitch. Like they’re not being coached at all, and have just been pulled out the stands and thrown on the pitch. No one seems to have any clue how to play out the back. Our passing is terrible. Our defensive positioning is awful. We’ve got no creativity at all, once we get in the final third we’ve got no ideas whatsoever, just end up conceding possession. The lack of intelligent movement is really worrying as well. Just doesn’t look like a team playing for their manager. No one really looked like they believe we could score, yet alone win! I’ve not called for Cocu’s head directly, but I think he’s a dead man walking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a real whipping boy team emerges, it'll take 52 to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Whats the lowest ever points total by a team in the Championship? Don't particularly want to hold that record for the top 2 divisions... I'm joking of course, we'll easily beat it whatever it is. *twitches, laughing nervously* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustylee Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 11 wins and 11 draws from the remaining fixtures to get to 50 points seems a bit daunting prospect given the levels of performance so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
