24Charlie Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Great game today. From my seat behind the goal in the North Stand I was treated to two goals. The flight of Bird’s strike left the keeper rooted to the spot and in an effort to redeem himself he flew out and was then completely bamboozled by Curtis’s nod on. From a physiological point of view a I think we can survive 12 but 21 is totally different. 12 gives us something to fight for and the players will dig in but if it’s 21 they’ll start thinking if it’s worth putting their bodies on the line for a lost cause. I wonder how many is too much psychological speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonwright Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Who is going to fight the nine plus three now anyway? Mel? It'll be 21 and we are going down, but in a way that's the least of our worries now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy03 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Call me deluded but I think if we can keep our players then we'll survive 12 points. I actually think we can do it. 21 points and yeah we'd need playoff form. Add in the psychological aspect and it just isn't going to happen realistically. But whatever happens, there's no point throwing the towel in. The season has just started. Anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shef Wed a prime example last season, turned to poo straight after the points deducted Sheffield Wednesday were crap anyway. Contrast that with Wigan who put in a valiant effort when they were deducted points. They lost just 1 in 15 games at the end of the season. They were so close, a win on the final day would have done it. We already know we're going to be deducted 12 and we weren't poo today. Just don't look at the table. It's 45 to survive.

Bris Vegas Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 We won’t survive 12. Sorry to burst any bubbles, but we just wont. Our team isn’t good enough to get 60 points this season. We’ll pick up unexpected points along the way, morale-boosting wins. But we won’t score enough goals while we will have natural ruts in form too. 4 points from Stoke and WBA is excellent. But 2 points from Forest, Boro and Brum before that is poor. We’ll have similar runs throughout the season. Can’t fault the effort. But the quality isn’t there.

davenportram Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The league wanted Morris out - the FFP penalty will be left I reckon as new owners shouldn’t be punished for mistakes of the old. FFP punishment for me should only be applied if the owners who committed the offence will still be in ownership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De22Ram Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Could even be 24! The 9 points was a deal negotiated by dell! 3 suspended! I heard that the adminstrators cant take that deal he did n would have to re negotiate! So potentially 24 but i doubt that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammeister Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 At current rate of point scoring we are on for 57.5 for the season. Overturning 12 points is manageable IF we can get some reinforcements in January- IF we get a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can’t get there because you live abroad but if you had been there today, you would have a different opinion. Im absolutely convinced we can overturn -12, -21 would be a challenge. We’ll probably look like surviving and then the EFL will give us -9 in April!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
