Agree. A few more vocal voices and some poor results have put some of the fanbase into a very deep funk. A few more open eyes would have realised that we got done by a good Wigan team and unless you are Citeh or whoever, the chances are that you'll be on the end of a bad beating once in a while.Totally agree. This is a game of opinions and we can't agree all of the time. But relegation- seriously?
It could still happen, but with the players that we have we have 35 points from 26 games. We have a decent record against the lower teams generally (in the last 9 league games, we have only lost to Wigan, Blackburn and Bradford).
We have in that time beaten Plymouth, Doncaster and MK (drawn away to Southern/ Rochdale and Gillingham).
So to me suggesting relegation was a kneejerk reaction.
To put into perspective we now need what 15 points from 20 games (so we could win 5 and lose 15 and probably not go down).
I don't disagree at all with the lack of direction at the club. But IF we were to beat Blackpool and sign 2-3 quality players (plus getting Gino/ Mehmeti/ Raglan and Pekalski fit) things may just start looking a little better again?
Going forward, the focus has to be integrating the new players into the squad when they are signed and getting back to bossing games again. Club wide, I hope any takeover nonsense can, for the moment, be left into 2017 so any divisions or tensions can dissipate.
