Are We in a Genuine Relegation Battle?

[Tezza1889]

Moved on already from today's disappointing result..

Yes...we are definitely in a relegation battle, we can't score goals, so we can't win games, we will lose if they score and we dont, draws will not keep us up..

Basic statement ... but thats it in a nutshell..

 

[Jonboy60]

Hope the pigs don’t have pts taken away this season. Want us to stay up on merit. merit, what a positive word for the shit we are in.

I would get your insurance bets on asap before the odds get shorter by the week.

I'm more worried about me saying anybody on the forum can stick it up my arse if we go down!

I’m up to 17 dead hedgehogs as of this morning’s roadkill gathering expedition. I’m going to have to get a new freezer to store them all in at this rate. The half a dead badger won’t fit in there and is getting a bit whiffy.

Who needs Bonnie Blue when we have Billy Brown?!

 

[TJ blade]

Why didnt Ings grab the ball off Burrows?

Because Burrows is the named pen taker, he did alright last season, but its quite obvious his confidence is rock bottom, even when he came on he looked like he didn't want to be there.

Anyone still dissenting?

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Yes we 100% are.

Very few positives about this squad.

Reminds me a lot of 2010.

Our trouble is, we have a bad season and we're relegated. Other teams, dodge the bullet - we don't.

The whole thing stinks of relegation.

Derby were bang average today, but their strength and bullying showed us up for what we are.

As weak as piss.

We are in BIG trouble

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

My statement, that I would let anybody on the forum stick it up my arse if we went down, is looking slightly foolish at present.

Best get on Amazon and order some vaseline.

Was thinking this the other day. When did this club last actually survive a relegation scrap? 13/14 we were in the bottom three in Feb but that was a weird campaign that ended in just narrowly missing the playoffs, so it didn’t get crunchy. Every time the alarm bells are ringing at the business end of the season it seems we inevitably drop.

33 games left!

I was thinking this earlier. Feels like for the last 20 odd years, pretty much every season is: Relegation, Promotion, Playoff loss, Narrowly missing out on play offs. We never finish bottom half without going down, we never survive a scrap.

With the same players and same one up front ….

 

[BackPocket]

We're only 10 pts off the playoffs with 40 games to go. Keep the Faith

Are you on glue? 10 points off sounds good, until you realise we’re averaging 0.69 points per game, and to make playoffs, we need our form to suddenly turn into 1.8 to 2 points per game, aka automatic promotion form.

Time to get real.

You could say...it's...a...bladeacoaster....

[Deadbat]

We have a big squad

Yes to our detriment. The reserves are even worse than those playing. Ings, Chong, Bindon, Cannon, Barry, Matos etc. All have been pretty woeful sadly.

One thing I agree with Wilder is the squad is too big (bloated rubbish most of it). Sadly we are stuck with half of those above past January.

We need some leadership and characters - Mee and Ings have not provided that but their legs have gone. No point having extra squad depth if they cannot run!

I wouldn't want to do it to you, so that's one off your list, but it might be a long list.....

I'm not saying we're relegated, I'm saying we're in a battle, demonstrably so.

Feels more like a surrender after today

Not disagreeing with you, I think we will do better after xmas

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

We have a big squad

That is either mostly poor at the level or mismanaged. I thinks it's a combination of both.

[harrry1990s]

Realistically, the we’ll be better after January theory relies on a very good JTW - and won’t actually make a difference until February.
Worrying times for the Blades.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

At the mo it looks more like a surrender than a battle.
