Matches How many points do you think we’ll get in last 15 games?

Bet against your own team, that’s dangerous, although t is a win win situation......?
If you bet on the other team and they win, you win money......
if you bet on the other team and Oxford United win the you are elated because we have won the game and got the 3 points
Or the game is a draw and you've lost your money and Oxford haven't won.
 
Well, I went for 16 points and that was with us getting a draw at Cambridge, so now down to 15, but have just done a review and now think it’s more like to be 10-13 points! Going to be close.
 
With each poor performance/result, team morale, belief and hope drops, regardless of, or maybe because of what KR spouts about 'turning it around'. The concern for me is that once that mindset is reached then performances and thus results will worsen even further and we will then be truly in the relegation mire.
IF a new manager comes in he at least has new ideas and perhaps a workable formation and strategy, using the best (rather than favourite) players available to him. Players would be fighting for their future careers under a new man. I can't help but think that someone like MAPP (or similar) wouldn't stand for any nonsense and would (as he did previously) have the non-performers and show-ponies out of the door asap - long contract or not). For that of course he would require the full backing and reasonable finance from the board to make a 'top 30' target a reality rather than the current dream.
 
Looking at the fixture list, I think we have to have at least two more wins before the end of March, otherwise we're in deep trouble.

April is absolutely brutal, until the two relegation six pointers vs. FGR & Accrington to finish.
If we're on 43/44 points by April 1st, then we'll likely scrap a few more points in April and go to Nailsworth without too much pressure. But any less than that.......

Problem is that if we'd fired KR after Shrewsbury (as I think almost any other club in our situation would have done, if not before), they we'd likely have had a new permanent manager in place for this next stretch of winnable games. We're instead going into them with confidence at rock bottom, and a manager who's seemingly picking a team and formation at random every week.

Spot on.
After Burton I said I couldn't see us winning 3 games by the end of March without a change of manager.

I'm absolutely dumbfounded there's been no statement from the club today regarding sacking KR or even at the very least some kind of statement, instead in between work I've caught confirmation Mark Thomas has left and there's some bargains at the Club Shop.

Absolute f****** shambles.

All fans are free to express their concerns in the way they choose but my ST will remain in my wallet.

You just have to hope that the players have enough pride and commitment to their own careers to make it work however karl throws them together. Hes not on the pitch!
