In retrospect we've missed out on 6 points because of our pitch being not up to standard 

Should be in 17th place

Pompey 1-0 up at Watford

If Portsmouth win this it puts us in a big hole

That does rely on the assumption we wouldn't have somehow screwed up both situations, which isn't an assumption I'm hugely confident in. Also technically five points as we did get one against Ipswich at Ewood in the end. Should have been three, but, y'know... screwed it up. 

Or I guess it's four points as we also got a point from Wednesday.

Now 2 points behind Norwich and 3 behind Pompey.

It's game over folks

[G Somerset Rover]

Bottom three, two points from safety. 
We’re not getting back out.

If that stays the same I think that's that for us. The manager has clearly given up in any game for the foreseeable future because we won't have players back and there just isn't the fight in the squad needed to bail ourselves out.

1-1. Keeper clanger

[KentExile]

1-1, terrible keeping

[DE.]

From 7th in May, just missing out on the top six, to desperately watching the Pompey score in January to see if we slide into the bottom three on the back of a one win in twelve league run.

These must be the exciting times Rudy was talking about.

This made me laugh, even though it's about Rovers 😞

Thanks Rudy we're all dripping with excitement. 

[Tom]

Officially in the bottom 3 with the team above us with a game in hand, still not worried are we Val?

Great. Properly in the zone now.

Nah. 

[danger19_80]

I think West Brom are in serious trouble (as are we)

Probably between us, Pompey, West Brom and Charlton for the final spot.

We won't be out again.

Well not unless we sack the fraud of a Head Coach, then we MIGHT have a chance.

Is Chaddy back on here on an alias account?

Don't know how you deduce from one word that I'm complacent. 

I'm going off the team we were rather than the team we are now. Before the unprecedented number of unavailable players over the last few weeks, we never looked like relegation fodder. 

Granted, if you said we'd have to see the season out with what we have , we'd go down. But assuming we get somewhere near back to full strength, we will have more than enough.  

Funnily enough, the Hedges one is the most worrying for me long term, we need a replacement. 

[Elrovers]

If Rudy cares soo much about data then why doesn’t he look at the league table and check the data out there and see where we are. Stupid clown. 

[adopted scouser]

People have always said that the championship is a difficult league to get out of, I think we’re making it look easy.

Can't say for certain just because we were winning those games, I wouldn't trust this lot to hold onto a 1-0 lead going into the final stages of any game.

Why would he be worried?

He is doing exactly what he is being asked, to downsize this club so much that its manageable for our owners and there minions.

If they don't manage the relegation this season, they definitely will next.

[roversfan99]

We definitely havent missed out on 6 points. For a start we have already got a point in one of the rearranged games, having again led 1 nil at the time of the abandonment.
