What do points make........

...........possible survival.

 

With only 10 more games remaining and half of them away fixtures with a possible 30 points at stake, what are our chances of survival? At one time you could predict where we were going to get the points from, alas no more. These are my predictions, see if you agree.

Sat.    22/03/2014 Home.    Huddersfield Town……………..1-1 Draw 1pt

Tues. 25/03/2014 Away      Bolton W……………………………. 0-3 Loss  0pts

Sat.   29/03/2014 Away      QPR……………………………………. 0-3 Loss  0pts

Sat.   05/04/2014 Home      Yeovil T……………………………… 1-0 Win   3pts

Tues. 08/04/2014 Home     Derby C……………………………….1-2 Loss  0pts

Sat.   12/04/2014 Away      Leeds Utd…………………………….1-1 Draw  1pt

Fri.    18/04/2014 Home     Burnley (on Sky, ugh)………...0-2 loss   0pts

Mon.  21/04/2014 Away     Brighton H A………………………..1-3 loss   0pts

Sat.   26/04/2014 Away      Wigan………………………………….1-3 loss  0pts

Sat.   03/05/2014 Home     Charlton A……………………………2-1 Win  3pts

As you can see my optimism is not what it should be. I see us with a possible 8 points from the remaining games, making us reliant on teams around us dropping points, which is never a healthy option. I just hope our survival is not reliant on the final game against Charlton, especially now they've changed manager. Of course we could upset the odds and get a few wins we didn’t expect, but these are desperate times and we never seem to play well under pressure. We’ve got an untried manager, a team with no set pattern of play, which seems to change every week instead of having a settled side.

Still, now’s not the time to think we’re doomed to League 1, but equally the players have really got to start believing in themselves and not rely on other results keeping us up. So, prove my predictions wrong and get us the points we need and fight for your pride, because the fans will get behind you if we see determined effort. Just think this was us not too long ago.....

 

......let's do it again. Come on Pool. Fight for the points. UTMP.
