Enjoy it !

Call me crazy, but, I have come to terms with our fate this season and I have decided to just enjoy the battle to avoid the drop. Like it or not, it's still quite interesting !

We really have to pray that other teams continue to be poor because with our injuries now I think it could be several more weeks until we are at our best (Lynch, Morgan, Miller etc).

I just wish that a Premier team would buy Billy Sharpe off Doncaster and Maynard off Bristol, and then they would struggle !

I think the dreaded drop is going to be 2 from the following (with Coventry certain to go down)...

Doncaster
Forest
Bristol City
Watford
Millwall

A win against Peterborough is an absolute must !

I didn't say Billy Davies is a bad manager. Stop trying to be clever, when you are obviously not.

Cotterill has us playing good football. As I have previously stated, I'm was not a big fan of his appointment. I am impressed however at the style we are playing and see nothing wrong that a striker could not solve. Unfortunately, our strikers are not doing the business for him.

We now have injusries too but at least he still has the team fighting for points. Last weekend being a big example.

If we were playing badly, I might tend to agree, but we aren't.

sutton? Do you go to games or sit at home listening to the radio?

Dougherty's not looking for revenge. He simply recognises that in order to make his 12 years at look good, the next 14 have to be far, far worse.

I'm not sure where this we're playing well stuff has come from. We may have been slightly the better side in a couple of poor games. Sides that are playing well tend to win more than 1 in 7.


If your impressed by cotterill I'd say it's you that's obviously not that bright. But I won't because unlike the rest of you, up on the moral high ground. I'm here to put a point of view forward, not get personal.

I've had a season ticket for 12 years now. I don't get away that often.

You already got personal with me a few weeks ago by calling me an idiot

Maybe we should stop replying to each others post as I have an opinion and just because it doesn't match yours, I am on a moral high ground????

We will not be changing manager and therefore support his cause. That being, to win us games.

It's a shame you wasn't part of the pre-Clough era.

Matt Gilles and Allen Brown would of given you plenty to moan about. More than Megson, Kineer or even Platt

We've made chances, 60-40% possessions our way, and despite dire results moral is still higher than when he arrived. Theres not much more to ask from a manager, especially when none of our players any would call 'prolific' in their given states. We've seen in the last few games goalies on top of their form, balls inches pass the post when beating the keeper, and frantic clearances off the line. When it comes to two of these its just down to hard luck and on another day those would have gone in. All that can be really done is changing the 'inches from the post' to the 'inside the net'.

Gotta agree though, this is a must win game. Not for the sake of cotterrils job, but morally. After player well in most games for the last month and to only get one point out of it, a loss in the same fashion would really echo a "what's the point".

But the manager can't play centre forward

he can,

he was a half decent premier league striker for wimbledon and is probably still better than mcgoldrick
