2025-26 Relegation thread

[AllRoversGirl_]

I've said from the start that this is our year to be relegated 

[simongarnerisgod]

oxford at home to bristol city,who are floundering a bit,home win

portsmouth away at sheff wed,surprisingly i can see wed getting something out of this

charlton at home to sheff utd,possibly a draw,sheff utd a bit unpredictable,despite having a good squad.charlton good at home

norwich away at wrexham.wrexham flying and norwich struggling,sargeant has gone on strike and their backline is worse than ours,home win

Charlton winning v 9 men so that's one sorted

Four points above us now. Yet some on here think they’re definitely one we’ll finish above.

Pompey winning. They’re now level on points with us and have a game in hand…

[sharpysharps86]

Norwich winning also atm.

1 point now the gap as it is.

Norwich in front at Wrexham.

[JHRover]

Never mind. What about injuries and referees?

[G Somerset Rover]

Still not worried, Val? You fucking idiot.

[wilsdenrover]

He’s not worried because he knows he’ll still have his job. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Norwich were always going to get out of this, so it’ll probably come down to us or Pompey and they’ll have far bigger cajones than us. Doomed, I tell you.

Maybe Pasha said that too…

It's fair to say we are in a right pickle.

I am sure , he has said for the last 3 seasons !

Difference is, this manager is a clown !

 

[K-Hod]

As soon as we end up in the bottom three, we won’t get out of it again.

Not with our meek surrender monkeys.

Seen more fight in a pacifist.

[Tom]

Strong chance we start the boycott game in the drop zone, going to be lots of in fighting.

If only the players had the same fight 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We are in a World of shit and dont know where the next win is coming from.

[AllRoversGirl_]

1 point. Norwich has won at Wrexham. We're not in a good place, and it's infuriating that people can't see that we're in the canal without a paddle

Failing to beat any of the teams around us has given us a huge mountain to climb, and will likely see us down imo. Easy to Ismael to say "wait until the injured players are back", but based on what we've seen it's highly unlikely we'll retain a fully fit team from now until season's end. The problem is that our squad as a whole isn't strong enough.

Put into the pot , that injured players  don't usually rush back into struggling teams !

The squad is dreadful if they were all fit !

Thing is, the results have been crap when he’s had the better players available so I have zero faith in him digging us out of this when they are back.

More spine in a jellyfish

Swansea beating Birmingham now too which moves them 7 points clear of us and takes another relegation 'candidate' out of the immediate equation.

[Rogerb]

The post Christmas slump started early this year. Is that one win in eleven now? There is no built up points buffer to save us this year.

[davulsukur]

It's going to be one spectacular own goal when our relegation is confirmed.

Most fans called it from day 1 that selling our Championship experience and replacing them with dross from relegated second division Belgium clubs was always going to end in tears. The cherry on the cake when they shuffled Hyam out the back door in the last minute.

That was confirmation for most that we'd be down at the bottom all season. Throw in a proven failure as a manager and the writing was on the wall.

They've sleep walked straight into this with excuses after excuses, letting games pass by with all the talk about unavailable players, or how "the data shows" we're better than the results suggest.

Dismissing the fans concerns and straight up insulting us by suggesting the squad is better now. 

They'll be many a Rovers fan saying "We told you so", when the curtain on our stay in the Championship is drawn to a close.
