Can we stay up?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

CLARETS PREMIER LEAGUE COUNTDOWN.
By my reckoning we need another 25 points from what for us will be our own Fifteen Cup Finals to have any chance of staying up.
Loads of comments I could add, but I will leave that box open for your own thoughts.

Not a hope Bt sadly

Unless we’re improving the squad and Parker has a light bulb moment to try and keep us in the league.

A man who’s been proud and happy with losses since day 1 in my book anyway won’t turn it around ) I’ll be happy if he does but can’t see it.

SD was averaging about 1.5 points per game when we really needed it. I believe we are getting better but a miracle is needed.

[Swissclaret]

We need 8 wins and a draw to get 25 points. A big ask. That really means our remaining 8 home games and a draw on the road.


One home match is against City. I can’t see us winning that. So that makes it 7 home wins and 4 away draws. Doable but I can’t see it myself. We have too much to do now.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Even if we achieved that S_c, we are still at the mercy of other teams results. All we can do is enjoy what's left and hope Parker gives it a proper go.

There will be one helluva queue behind Sinkov in Burtons window if we do stay up!

It'll be booked up until next Christmas Sammy.

The only question really is what will ALK do to decimate the squad come July?

[ClaretinBudapest]

I see people are getting carried away with our recent good luck.Although the recent draws were welcome news-they were more down to luck(Bindippers) and out of sorts opponents(United)rather than Parker changing tactics.I have seen nothing to support a yes answer to the question in the post.
We are already down in my humble opinion.Cardy should have been outed in November to have any chance of survival and some serious signings added this month.As neither of these has happened that tells me ALK are resigned to relegation under Cardy and are tapped out regards debt limits.
My only wish is that Cardy leaves at the end of the season because I could not face another season with Parkerball and I believe luck will not strike twice and he will not produce a defence as successful as last season after the predictable squad decimation and rebuild come July.I do not think he would get us promoted a second time.
I have already donned my tin hat.

What for CIB telling the truth - my old man?s 90 this year and if I?m honest it?s a borefest so unless he goes we probably won?t renew - and he?s been going on 65/70 years.
Nothing against Parker as a fella - just feels like we?ve wasted a season again to me.

He might be alright back in the championship but I?ll see how I feel if he?s staying.

About sums it up for me too army88.

They sack the manager it costs them money. New manager would want new players but you can't buy players without money.
Look at things as they are guys ---they can't afford to sack him, they can't afford to get anyone new, either manager or players and who knows where we go from here.
I jsut hope that the HMRC bills are being paid.

[sinkov]

who knows where we go from here.

Owen Coyle did say that we were ten years behind Bolton, he might yet be proved right, give or take a year or two.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

It's the total lack of noise from Alan Pace that is worrying me.
