Poll - points required to stay up this season.

not convinced myself.

Very slow distributing the ball and been at fault for few goals too like second one Saturday. If archer was in goal not sure we would see much difference between the two.

i think there much a muchness, Asmir has not impressed me at all.

He’s not done enough wrong to be dropped but I don’t think he’s head and shoulders above Archer.

Watch how slow his distribution is tonight and how many breakaways he kills holding ball.

Just keep the ball out of the net. We’ve got nine other players to play football. No, that’s not a mistake.

Does look very laid back and lethargic, true.

All 5 games in January are at home

Never seen that before all 5 is this a first

I always work on the premise of keeping sides within six points of you as back to back wins, as we saw, changes the whole picture and usually drags three or four clubs in amongst it.

However currently that only gives us Huddersfield as a target who Wednesday look likely to leapfrog.

As it stands it’s Plymouth down for the teams in the mix at a push up to Millwall depending on dips.

If Marti gets us out of this the guy will be hailed as a genius, especially with what’s going on around him.

Our next eight games, we have

Watford (h)
Millwall (h)
Huddersfield (h)
Blackburn (a)
Norwich (h)
Stoke City (a)
Bristol City (a)
Rotherham (h)

Id say we need at least four wins from those eight games.

We need 9 wins from the remaining 20 games. We've only won 9 of the last 59. And haven't won in 7. So we need win the next 3 home games. Otherwise we will need 9 from 17, which we won't ever get. Shit or bust January.

We have to keep those above us within 5 points distance as it stands that’s just Huddersfield. Some how we need draw three or four more clubs closer as if it’s a shoot out of three from four we’re fucked.

Just a 3 positives…….I think we finally now have a fully fit squad. I think all games except Leicester away we can get something from. If you compare when we went to League 1 before, the performances are significantly better. We’re keeping in games.

Can we get out of this if we play like today and avoid injuries?

It has to be a yes

Will help confidence today win

We can mathematically but today could be our Sheffield Wednesday in 1996...

Of course we can do it. It’s going to be tough though. I’d say we just can’t lose next week. Let’s not get all suicidal if we draw. We’ve been in all the games under ‘Martí. The big issues are 1) our first choice eleven hasn’t always been available. We need Chair, Cook, JCS on the pitch. 2) we’ve played better against good sides like Hull and Southampton. Look at Southampton results! We just don’t maintain that level for some of the weaker sides.
