the_mighty_bosh Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 After Saturday our run-in is pretty good in all honesty, but usually there's a team who has a horrible run-in from this stage onwards. Not this year though, there's no team that's cut adrift and lots of the teams around the bottom are playing each other. It's possibly the most unpredictable relegation battle in years. I think 50 points will probably be enough but anything less than 2 wins from the last 7 and we'll be asking for trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I wrote down the other day the fixtures where the bottom 9 teams play each other and I ran out of paper, there are loads. Plus I think Bratford will get dragged in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dec666 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Coventry are really sinking, I'd imagine Bradford will be fine. Key games again this weekend: Crewe vs Coventry Notts County vs Colchester Tranmere vs Carlisle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFC_Ryan Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 2 points in the whole of the bottom four, by this time there's usually 2/3 teams with no hope left. It'll go right to the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddySmoker Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 48 will do it. But I wouldn't want to risk it. 49 I reckon, 2 wins needed-but I wouldn't risk it either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeroyboy Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Agree bradford are on a horrible run another who are having a wobble are coventry since they lost clarke they have been dreadful, hopefully we have had our bad run get brentford out of the way and get the couple of wins we need asap as I want to enjoy my weekend in Carlisle "Get Brentford out of the way"? We are on a roll, we have steelwork sprouting out of the ground and we will have 'probably' the best home atmosphere at Boundary Park this season. I don't feel like getting them out of the way - I feel like stuffing them. And hopefully so will the players if we make some noise. Positivity won't stop you going to the ball in Carlisle.

the_mighty_bosh Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 As an aside, Coventry Vs Stevenage might just be the most depressing "matchday experience" of the season in any league! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageTheBeast Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Bradford will be safe due to the start which has saved them. Coventry on the other hand may not be they have games in hand though which always help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythemostimportantkick Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I say we can win three games and guarentee our safety without worrying about other teams or who we play against. I honestly think we will beat brentford on Saturday . Games at this time of the season also become edgy for the teams fighting at the other end of the table, and we can take advantage of this I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 After Saturday our run-in is pretty good in all honesty But we're where we are because we haven't been able to beat most of the teams in this league, good ones or bad ones. The best thing, and hopefully the difference, about our run in is that Johnson has finally decided/been able to field a settled side & can continue to do so.
