Relegation

[Pocket rocket]

Hope I'm wrong but I think its gonna happen.

2 shots on target today from memory and I guess about 30% possession or there abouts.

We look more solid but still sit too deep.

Yes battling performance and a cruel goal at the end but how many of our players are not bottom 3 players?

Don't get me wring I like KJ and we need to stick with him but I think its too much of a gap and the players he has left to him are not up to it IMO.

Really hope I'm wrong and you all remind me of this.

I'll be there no matter what but I think it's just too much of a task.

I hope you are wring

I haven't been today so can't comment on today's performance.

That said I still think it's to early to write us off. Forget the 8 point and a mountainous goal difference from safety

Let's just ignore what other teams are doing and set our own achievable points target, say 44 points and see where they takes us.

I'm sure that's what the powers that be must be thinking the same.

In January we should sign Sauron, lord of the wring.

I'm desperately trying to be positive guys about your chances of survival but as each game goes by it's hard to see how it can be done this time .

Classic injury time goal conceded yesterday and two ***** points gone , 'twas ever thus' when you are at the foot of the table .

To me that could and should have started with the win that gave you optimism , new manager and a game that looked difficult to say the least , even the point feels like a defeat when 3 were almost in the bag .

You can't afford to slip any further away , if you are 6 points away from safety on January the first you may have an opportunity IF you can add the quality you need .

Not certain in this day and age enough quality players are made of the right stuff to come to the NYS and dig a succesful relegation fight out , they most certainly didn't at Oakwell in 2014 , Frimpong and Shea were a disaster and only added to the misery .

If I could write something more positive then I would guys , nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see you avoid the drop along with ourselves of course .

The truth is I can't because as I've said before on here the similarities between the BFC of 2014 and yourselves today are a mirror image .

This leagues bloody tough and then some .

I weren't there yesterday but I've seen highlights & read the comments. I've been to all the home games so I know our strengths & weaknesses.

Kenny Jackett is said to be ruffless. To get us in a position were we're in touch come January he's got act now. Whose not good enough discard. Blackstock is one. Yesterday don't like Ball playing in midfield. Hope Halford is back next sat' or Adeyemi. Vaulks give him a run in the side.

Trying to stave off relegation with Stubbs' recruits is like trying to swim the Channel in a force 9 gale with your hands and feet tied behind your back. Not impossible - but I wouldn't recommend putting your Christmas savings on it.

When KJ joined we needed a win, draw and loss in each sequence of 3 games to get to the magical 50 points that usually means survival.

Well we've had the loss and the draw so now we need to ensure we beat Preston on Saturday.

I share a number of other peoples thoughts that KJ can bring organisation and hard work to the table but he can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear and some of Stubbs signings simply aren't good enough.

Says it all when the first names on the team sheet if you speak to most fans were signed by Steve Evans.

True post that 123, only a couple of stubbs signings are worth a place.. id love to know how much hes cost us in contracts etc... the one thing that gets me though, we have good managers and let them go...theyre like gold..

It's a tough ask for any manager, if we keep conceding like this were down.
