Law of averages you'd expect us to stay up but when you break the games down in isolation it looks a lot more precarious. 

Firstly I struggle to see us getting the point we need at Leicester which means we are relying on other games.

I would be stunned if Sheffield Wednesday didn't get at least a point against a Sunderland team with 2 wins in 14.

I'd probably favour Birmingham to beat Norwich. Norwich are not great away from home and may rest a few with them pretty secure in the top 6. Also Birmingham do seem to have a habit of last day survivals.

With Hull still in with a chance of overtaking WBA I think them getting something at Plymouth is the best chance of a result going in our favour. But as Plymouth showed last time out at Home Park against Leicester they are no mugs down there.

 

I agree Hull are our best hope. And you're right about brum. I have a mate who's a big blue nose and he messaged me yesterday to say they are fucked. I told him exactly what you said about them always escaping at the death. Think Southampton in the Premier league era.

All are due a win then 🙂

It can happen.

Tbf you could argue Sheffield Wednesday are due a defeat

It's not 3 wins, never was, never will be.

Trump style gaslighting.

There are about 2 people in the known universe who think it's 3, and one of them is Eustace.

I'm not even sure Eustace thinks its 3 to be fair. Unless as times gone on he's decided to include it, but he didn't initially include the Stoke result as his

What combination did you use?

Brum, Plymouth Leicester to win, Sheffield wed on a double chance. Also had Ipswich double chance tonight as that could be crucial. Really need Hull to win so Wagner can't play a weak side next week. I know I've bet against my own team before we go down that road but I've a thick skin and ill take the pelters all day long.

I would think around 20/1

I've just got 28/1 betting on all the outcomes of games that could affect us. Just one needs to fail and I'm £20 lighter but we stay up. I hope I'm £20 lighter.

Tough ask but could really do with Hull beating Ipswich this weekend to keep pressure on baggies and especially Norwich. You know what there manager did whist in charge of Huddersfield in our relegation to league 1 season. They play big club on the last day.

Fingers crossed - they owe us after last year.

I'll be honest I can't remember what they did last year?? What was it?

Huddersfield and Brum for me. Whilst I really rate Rowett he's had zero new manager bounce so far. Both teams probably won't get a win meaning we will get to safety by default  

He's had as many wins as our clown manager in a lot less games.

Well, he pulled the rabbit out of the hat today!

I didn't see the game so can't offer opinion of us or Sunderland but everything I've read and seen, which is now quite a bit, says we were good and they were very very shite.

Home to Southampton is a much bigger test.

A draw would be ok but a win makes us more or less ok whilst screwing Martin. What could be better than that 

I think it's probably fair to say that Martin was screwed last night in injury time. Too far off the automatic spots now and well clear of 7th so it's the play offs for them. Hopefully they take their foot off the gas for this weekend and rest a couple.

Its 6 points in 6 games since JDT left. 

oh well 

Yet Eustace was on the touchline in the second half shouting instructions and orders to the players and making subs during the game. That is fact cos I witness it live inside Ewood Park. Do you not see that? 

Eustace himself hasn't even claimed the stoke game as his,  because it wasn't and he knows it wasn't. But let's go with it for a moment. He came down in the second half when we were 3-1 up. That's how it finished. So the most you can give him in your world of delusion is a 0-0 and 1point.

Was Johnsons win that 😂 no chance Eustace has that win.

In a pre match interview for Birmingham he was asked about his first game in charge being against his former club. I don't recall him correcting the interviewer saying it was his second after Stoke. So yes,  it's on to Cardiff to see if he can chalk up his first win. Not much new manager bounce going on here. I seem to recall he took time to get going at brum initially before he turned it round.  We desperately need that first win on the board or we will be in a dogfight before you know it

Well he knows fuck all, let's be honest. As Blackburn rovers scraped the barrel with their signings, The LT have done very much the same with this dosser.

The manager mentioned in his radio Lancs interview at least twice that a hand grenade had been thrown in to destroy his work.

He was gagged on Friday simply because he was highly likely to call someone out for the same incompetence as last year, when it comes to getting a transfer over the line. This year the player was announced as being signed and in reality he hasn’t been.

What he excuse will we have this time and who will be the fall guy. Last year it was Greg, so if it’s him again (and I’m not convinced it really was last year) do we just shrug our shoulders and just carry on regardless?

Last years error cost us a play off place, this year’s could be the difference between us staying up and being relegated.

A balls up like that once is unforgivable, but twice should mean it is the end for those responsible, sadly it won’t be and it will be business as usual by the end of next week. 

I gave Gregg the benefit of doubt last year. I think he took the fall for someone else's mistake. But at the time he said it would not happen again. If, as seems likely, there has been another monumental fuck up with the paperwork, then I'm sorry but he and whoever was responsible this time needs to go regardless of whether it was his error or not. But you're right, I won't hold my breath

sheff wed cancel negotiations with mcguire and they`ve moved on to sign ian povedo from leeds,good luck with that,if he`s not injured then he`s overweight and unfit,a complete waste of time when he was here

If sheff weds have pulled out I hope Mcguire is checking skyscanner for cheap flights back.

I fucking hope he does too. It's the least we deserve. I'll take relegation, administration. Just get rid of these cunts.

How was this not reported by press locally?

I'm not seeing anything. It's just blank. Any idea how I see this??🙄

I have a brum supporting friend who always seems to be spot on with his clubs transfer business. He has connections. He's heard nothing of their interest so I won't be worrying on that front.

Has some quality and his goalscoring record is 1 in 3 I think so not to be sniffed at. He goes missing though and his fitness can be an issue. I'd hope we can sign him up but wouldn't be devastated if he went elsewhere.....until he signs for another championship club of course, and takes them up.🤣

Or perhaps he'll get released on a free after sitting behind several keepers who have experience at a far, far higher level.

I'm not saying he won't make it. But Conference North or whatever they call it now is the absolute lowest I'd be sending any of our youngsters too, and he's been sent a level below that. I just don't think it's a worthwhile level to play at. He'll have to jump two more leagues to be playing where Raya was on his loan. That's the difference between being in League Two or playing for us. And then he'll still need to jump three more leagues to play for us. I'm not criticising the player or his potential, he came with a decent reputation from City, but I feel comfortable criticising the choice to send him to such a low level. It does also suggest he's very far back in the pecking order for now. Hopefully he does well, and is recalled in January to be loaned to a higher league.

I'm not saying he'll make it, at least not with us, I've never seen the kid play. But its still early in his development so you can't rule anything out. Hopefully he'll make a career out of the game.

1 minute ago, bluebruce said:

Marine are two leagues below where Southport were though.

Oh ok. Perhaps he'll only get sold for £5m then. The point is you shouldn't judge the loan. I bet when Raya was turning out for Southport, no-one predicted he would be a Spanish international and a £30m player.
