You brandish the word though as some kind of personal insult which is strange. I just think we've got far more pressing concerns to worry about which is being 3 points off the relegation places which is a pragmatic and realistic observation.

Ramslad1992 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Whilst the numbers say it’s still possible I’m in! The rams are (probably not) going up! ariotofmyown and angieram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olton Ram Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 After how this season started I'll be happy with mid-table mediocrity. For a long time just surviving looked like an impossible dream; anything else is a bonus at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to play well to not be relegated, you need to play well to get into the top 6. What's the problem?

What's the problem? I just think talking about getting into the Top 6 when we're 3 points above the relegation places is mental, absurd, but that's just the way my brain is wired rightly or wrongly. I don't want to be a drag just posting my opinion and if we do manage it I'll be the first to admit I was totally wrong and would be happy to do so. My expectations this season are so low after the rictus Cocu oversaw are anything above 14th place would be a phenomenal achievement.

I think we'll avoid relegation, but we certainly won't be troubling the top 6. I'm just imagining us finishing 22nd and this thread popping up everywhere ?

I can't argue with that Roy, my mindset is with one of the other threads think it's titled One Step At a Time. Every time we win a game or don't get beaten we are edging ourselves away from the relegation zone. I just don't want to appear to wee on peoples chips, when I see some of the comments about Top 6 it says to me people still haven't yet grasped the seriousness of our situation.

archram Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Watching football for over 60 years, there’s always the dream of success to help when that’s about all we have, dreams. For me part of the fascination and enthusiasm is having those dreams as possibilities. Without that, I don’t really understand why teams in lower leagues have diehard supporters. I can’t influence anything but I can always dream, even though I have a sensible bit shouting ‘rubbish’.!

Marriot Ram99 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Win tonight and Saturday and the odd result goes our way then it becomes a possibility, as of now I'm with Tyler we have to win tonight first just to get out of the poo then win on Saturday then if we manage that which is by no means a given as we could easily lose both then talking about a slight chance of top 6 is fair enough after 5 straight wins. Even then it would be unlikely, if we are within 6 or 7 points at the start of March that's when it becomes possible.

CornwallRam Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 When I looked just before Christmas, from our position (maybe 23rd with 20 games gone?), no team had ever finished in the top half. For Rooney to do what he has so far is quite remarkable. To even make it to 12th place would be a historic achievement. Top 6 is just silly talk. We need to be realistic - if we can remain in the Championship and avoid going into administration, the second half of this season will have been a success.

Alty_Ram Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 For months it's been about staying up. Yes we've improved a lot but there is a lot of work to do still, we've had a major injury blow and teams around us are winning. Let's just worry about getting to safety first and the rest is pure bonus. archram and Kenavo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
