TigerTedd Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 3 hours ago, Kernow said: @TigerTedd a little harsh on Hull seeing as this is their first season down there and they're currently top! But other than that, I'd generally agree. League One would be "exciting" for some because we'd face a lot of new teams, new grounds for many people if we can go etc., however it really wouldn't be worth the potential long-term setbacks. We'd lose out financially and be forced to sell our best players and probably replace with lower quality. Our best hope would be to runaway with the title and use the momentum to progress in the Championship too, but that sort of thing doesn't happen too often, especially nowadays. You watch Hull win the premier league in 5 years, and we’ll still be in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston have only got one point more and Bristol two with just less than half the season left. Ok stick them in the battle, but my opinion I don't think Preston and Bristol would be in trouble once we get down to the lst 6 games or so.

G-Ram Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 We need a nice little run of form. 4 or 5 wins from the next 5 games. Its not going to happen but it'd be nice to get away from the bottom three and put some points between us League One would be disastrous for us. We'd probably stay down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd probably stay down there You're probably right but I can't help thinking that we've been having groundhog day seasons for a while now, playing virtually the same teams and not quite being good enough to go up. Perhaps we need to go down to give us the opportunity to develop younger players and to rebuild a winning mentality. We would lose the likes of Bielik and Jozwiak but to be honest we probably won't keep them long anyway. I'm in the camp of what will be, will be. I am confident however that if we don't lose too many from the current squad, and we avoid administration and points deduction, we will survive!

I've held that opinion for many years in that we have never had a reset after the year that cannot be mentioned but I think it is too late now. We've been on a steady decline for years and there was always something to provide a rosy view. Bit like hitting 125 in golf but sinking a 20 footer on the last, guess which shot you remember? I think is it a bit romantic to think of an heroic relegation followed by walking the league and putting everybody to sword in the lower division on a triumphal return that is the springboard to back to back promotions. Bet that's what Sunderland thought though. Wistaston Ram, RadioactiveWaste and TigerTedd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily we had a top manager who got us up the next year, but not sure if Arthur would have survived that first disappointing season in modern times.

Carl Sagan Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 With nearly half a season to go I still believe in the long game, rather than hoping three specific teams fall away from us and everyone else. Mainly I hope almost every Championship game we're not involved in ends up a draw, reducing the overall points available to all the other teams. There'll be lots of twists and turns before the end of the season. If Boro lose to Rotherham and we go on a run that yields 2 points per game from hereon, maybe it's the result that allows us to sneak into the playoffs?

BramcoteRam84 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) This is a crazy unpredictable league. Rotherham’s scoreline at the moment proving it. Can’t say this is one that should be a banker and then we’re going to get blown away because they’re fighting for promotion. As long as we continue to pick up points at the rate we are under Rooney we will be fine. But to do that we can’t really afford to lose any more players.

Sean Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 A shame Rotherham are winning but this may end up making more teams nervous, which could be a good thing for us in the long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
