General Positives!

[Royalstandard74]

5 games left, any?

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Yes…
3 points clear of the drop zone.
3 games where we are more than capable of picking up points in.
2 games against top sides but both at home and no reason why we can’t pull off 1 more shock like we did last Saturday.
The bottom sides have to play against each other so some will drop points.
Sell out home games against Leeds and Sunderland.
Sold out away end at Swansea with the potential of selling out at Cardiff too.

 

[Village-Yellow]

Yes! absolutely.

5 games left = 15 points

Survival is still in our own destiny.

We are in silly season... anything can happen.

4-5 points may do it.

We have the ability to grind out a result against the odds.

The stadium is the most important issue at this stage in our history.

It's only a game, we can always come back.

Football.... It's a funny old game.

It's not over till the fat lady sings.

Fans will be fully behind the players 100%......

 

[Foley]

Plymouth just about down.
6 teams below us.
We have 6 points from.the past 4 games
I reckon we need 4 more points from the last 5 gamed ( maybe 5)
We have a chance of points in 4 of the next 5 games ( Leeds very unlikely )
Sunderland are already 'resting' players and are thinking of the play offs.
Greg Leigh just about fit.
None of the bottom 8 won midweek

I never understand this "the bottom sides are playing against each other and thus will drop points" thing. The more worrying thing is it means some are *guaranteed* points, and when you're basically relying on the teams below you getting almost no points at all, then that strikes me as a negative.

Good point, no pun intended.

QPR was another 'Cup final' which they won, I'm afraid we are down now.
Positives? Another sunny day tomorrow, possibly 20 degrees.

I often get slated at work for saying, in the face of whatever pending shitstorm is coming........................

"It is what it is". ....................delivered in a slightly chirpy manner

Yes... the sun is shining, the sky is blue and the ground is dry.

But, we are not down..... no more down than the teams below us.

Keep the faith.

It Ain't Over till it's Over... did Lenny Kravitz teach you nothing

The ball boys have started wearing matching tracksuits/outfits.

'Ball boys' get with the real world! It's now 'slow ball delivery operatives" Jesus.

Lump on as we are currently 5/2 on bet365. Longer odds than Plymouth, Luton, Cardiff & Derby.

Might get a curry out of it.

 

[werthersoriginal]

Lots of positives!
We support a good team that’s local not TV wankers!
We just beat league leaders Sheffield United!
Our forward Dembele has two goals and an assist from three home games!
We have a very good chance of staying in top EFL league the championship!
If we do go down we’ll have another thrilling season supporting our club!

Any issues with that?

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Another positive is that I believe @Bicester Yellow is buying everyone a beer in the bird with his winnings if we go down!

 

[uptheus]

Mills looked good/hungry

Yeah, the going down bit!

Oh, and Luton Town fans probably thought the same when they got relegated from the Premiership!

To be fair he doesn't say why it would be thrilling. Actually only two years ago since we were in a league one relegation battle, no one can say supporting us is boring.

How many points did you expect to get out of us playing Sheffield United and QPR?

Thoughts:

1. Can I borrow your Time Machine, please? Might be handy for me moving forward.

2. Really gutted I found out we had been relegated in this way.

 

[SteMerritt]

Can I borrow your Time Machine, please? Might be handy for me moving forward.

Well hopefully it will be equally as handy moving backwards, otherwise you won't get the full benefit from a time machine.

 

[Mateo Corbo's Tackle]

Fair point. I’m sure I’ll be advised whether it has this benefit too.

 

[OUFCwaffle]

QPR game was the loudest I've heard our fans at 2-0 down.

90 minutes of cheering the team continuously. Much prefer when we stick to songs about our own team instead of looking to make digs at the opposition/referees.

Really good atmosphere despite the result, drum has been a great addition in my opinion.

Yellow division are doing a great job, and it was fun to get stuck in with them despite not being able to go to many games nowadays.

 

[Ox4Eva]

All to play for, come out fighting and NEVER give in!!

 

[UTO]

Every single one of us would have took our current position in July.
And again after the Leeds match when Rowett took over.

5 points in the last 5 matches keeps us up.
We’d have snapped your hand off…

 

[Bitter]

5 games left, any?

Scotchegg will be along in a minute.

 

[Coffin Dodger]

The ball boys have started wearing matching tracksuits/outfits.

they should all be wearing Sam Long replica kits.

 

[carefreeoufc]

Without wishing to deviate the thread too much… we could really do with some high calibre ball boys like the lads that helped secure the win against the scum! It was a work of art.

Tap him up on LinkedIn. See if he's willing to sit on a small stool and not give the ball back to the Leeds and Sunderland players.
