Ok this really is make or break, I can see 9 points out of the 4 games coming up, think we will lose at Fulham, beat Blackburn, Wolves, and Newcastle, putting us on 18 points and looking a little more confident.

Added to the fact that he said '0 point from the next 4 games' as if it was an outright fact, you just seem petulant

Just sounds like a prediction to me.
It doesn't even sound ridiculous either given we have lost the last 4 games, so what's the problem?
I've predicted 4 points and I could be accused of being over optimistic, which is not like me at all.

Honestly think wolves is a key game. Coyle has to win two to justify carrying on. If not so be it. I think if we win less than two or none of them either gartside or coyle will be turned on at the end of 90 mins at home to wolves. I think one win maybe all we can hope for and that is wolves. If that's the case we will be down with or without coyle. But then coyles future will be dictated by fan reaction. He won't want fans to turn on him so will go.
He can cite poor luck but as many are aware this season that's not been the only problem. He has been unable to make a difference in a difficult position. Bwfc can't afford a manager who can only affect the team in good times.

Flippin' eck lads! Where's your fighting spirit? They might be predictions that you're posting on here but the attitudes behind those predictions can spread quicker than you can imagine.
Any of you ever played golf? Let me paint a picture...
You're standing on a tee. You have a long par 5 stretching out in front of you with a big lake on the right side. There's loads of room on the left, but whatever you do dont hit the ball right. With that last word of your last thought in your head (right) you watch as you carve the ball right into the lake.
Some of you have no idea how powerful your thoughts can be. You start thinking we are going to get beat and like an infection that thought can spread to other people and through any medium and especially on places like this forum.
You want us to win. Start believing that we can win. Tell your friends we're going to win. Some of you might want to say that I'm talking tripe, but one day you too will grasp hold of this simple trick with the universe. Believe it deeply enough and it will happen.
The problem is too many are believing we will get relegated so I don't need to explain what will happen.
So, now you are armed with this secret information it's your job to convince people of the opposite. We are GOING to win against Fulham. We will win against Blackburn and Newcastld too. But always be wary of people who don't want you to believe we will win, because you have to ask yourself what their motives really are in trying to convince you we will lose.
Love and best to all and remember to believe. COYWM!

We pay the players to show positive mental attitude by turning up.
You could hear a pindrop at times at the Reebok during recent games because they have given us nothing to raise our spirits.
BTW, when I play golf, I usually don't have time for thoughts, but my mates barracking & heckling me when I'm teeing up and making stupid noises during my swing!

I agree that the power of thought can influence your own PERSONAL performance in whatever task you're undertaking; However ...It cannot have any effect whatsoever on the outcome of a footballing event debated on an internet forum ...
....although the type of person who buys the complete box set of ' Derren Brown ' might see such stark reality in a slightly different light, of course

For the final time, I am not criticizing his predictions, or the statistical certainty of these results, just his attitude that we shouldn't bother because we will lose, this coupled with previous comments on this board that have got to me.

Is anybody going to the match tomorrow? I'm going watching the Manics at the o2 tomorrow night, was going to drive down earlier and catch the match, can you pay on the gate?

I am disappointed that the argument in this thread has completely overshadowed TRR's ongoing use of the word 'Lauras' instead of 'players', which is cracking me up.
