Strange concept really, how can our attitude to the relegation battle not be conditioned by the last 3 results?. Because of them there is a relegation battle and not a fading away to League 1 as expected by most.

Blackpool-Norwich on Saturday. A draw there would further our cause whatever we do, other than that a Norwich win with a lot of red cards and a few season ending injuries.

Not a patch on Cillit Bang

But it is a handicap race. NP needed 16 points from 13 games (if you don't count Plymouth) and MW needs 23 points from 18 games. The finishing post is still in the same place but NP was a 5 furlong sprint and MW is more of a classic distance.

Hmm can't be right ,we ****sed it and finished mid-table.Back to the drawing board then

Make sure it's not past the use by date then.

Perhaps the club should have a £3 million quid punt on it then. If we stay up we get the extra TV money and if we don't we get 3.3 million from the bookies. Sounds like a win/win situation to me:smt115:smt115:smt115

I think he's referring to administration actually.

For any side currently on 40 points or less getting to 55 is a big ask actually. If we were to do it we'd have to beat Blackpool,Forest and Watford thus making it far harder for them to do it. I can't see either ourselves,Norwich,Barnsley or Blackpool getting 55 points and I'd be pretty sceptical about Plymouth and Forest as well.

I'm one of the more optimistic posters actually. But I don't see us getting anything at Birmingham. I am of course always willing to be pleasantly surprised though.I don't see it as a must to get any points there though. We don't need to come out of a game of trench warfare there at all cost. Beating Derby is far more important.

looks like I'm not the only one who thinks that a £200 punt at 14p might be in order then.

has he actually still got any money now?

McG is 21 I think, 29-11-87.

NP was nothing out of the ordinary although he did keep us up on the last day. His side drew an awful lot of matches 7 of 13, lost 3 and won 3 So in fact he got 16 points from 13 games if you don't count Plymouth.

Surely Lloyd James,Morgan S and DMcG are all 21 or under, Morgan being the youngest at 19.

I'm not sure that that's quite right actually. Because of the make up of the matches I'm pretty sure that 5 more wins would do it even mathematically. To work that out you'd have to make a probability work sheet and plot all the possible results between teams on say 40 or less points now. like this weekend, if Blackpool win then Norwich can't so one of them can't move up, if they draw it helps neither of them particularly.Next Tuesday it's Watford and Forest and then on Saturday Norwich and Plymouth and Blackpool and Barnsley.

14.15p seems to be the going rate

I think I shall try to get my hands on some more shares though. I honestly think it's worth a punt now.

I couldn't say really,I'm not ITK on our current financial status. Just on what could happen next year if we stay in the Championship.It would seem to me that getting people into the Stadium to make noise and get behind the team is priming on making money just now. Apart from the QPR game that is. May be policing problems stopping us boosting the crowd there though.

Well if you can get a ST holder to buy it for you it's a fiver. STs holders can buy extra tickets for £5 no limit apparently

How much we reduce our overdraft this season is of little importance as long as we don't increase it. What is important is CCC survival and our share of the new revenue stream next season. We'll be able to keep Barclay's(and anyone else) at bay with that because it is guaranteed money.3 mill plus is a big line in any accounting projection.

But that it is not the end of the world,whereas beating Derby is of prime importance.

Although the law of probability would suggest that we must win(or not lose) one Sky game sometime soon.
