I think the next two games are critical for the clubs chances of survival this season, yes bad results could be less important if we went on a great run after but the chances of that occurring become worse, with each passing game and hits two defeats would do to the players confidence level.
With Gore and Powell out, Spence still playing whilst taking injections and Benson only just returning (he wont be match fit) we are up against it. With us taking 7 points in the last 4 games then two draws is the very minimum we can take. That would be 9 points from 6 games which is 1.5 points a game, if we did that the rest of the season that would be 22.5 points (round up to 23) which is 54. The latest supercomputer predictions indicates that 53 points might be required this season, which is very high.
The injuries are obviously a major issue, but clubs have to manage them and with availability being such an important factor in all football clubs success these days, it should be a top priority for those that run the club, to ensure fitness and injury avoidance and recovery are top of their list when running a club - over to you new director.
However, MH can't come out and play that card again if we lose on Tuesday, I think these two games are his "last straw" games, it would be very difficult for anyone to defend retaining him as manager if these two critical games don't get the right results.
I hope we can get 4 points from them and then get Gore & Powell back asap and build on that to stay up.
It is all down to MH and his management team now, I would think he knows that and statements about not knowing why the performance was the way it was and why players don't take onboard instructions, won't cut it if the results aren't what is required. These are just my views I am sure others will have other opinions.
