Title: How will this end
Post by: woolster on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, 17:50:37
With all that has gone on over the last few weeks, I find myself feeling the season is now going to fall appart, can't see us getting auto, dont fancy playoffs, this is just a consensus to find out what others think, not a FACT or SLAGGING OFF mission

As things stand, squadd to thin, momentum stalled. Can see us scraping the playoffs if lucky, but not anything more.

I think we may be blind to the fact that we are not the only club of the top 6/7 that are struggling to win games at the moment.

It wasn't too long ago when more than a few thought Bornmuff were a shoe-in

And this time last week, we were basking in the reflected glory of a 3-1 win at Tranmere. If we win at Cov (please God let us win at Cov, I'll never ask you for anything ever again) it will be all change again.

Too true - and it isn't the first time this season when a run of poor home form was helped out by a run of good away form - although it does feel a bit different this time

I think we still have the players to finish the job, the sooner we get a manager the better, but we have a very good chance

I honestly think it depends if we bring a manager in and then subsequently more players in.

Without the above we'll probably struggle for a PO place, with the above (right ones) we'll have a great chance of finishing top 2.

agreed with the caveat we need some experience in the coaching staff - would be nice to clone Sturrock for the next few months

I really don't think we can answer this until we know who the new manager is.

Of course, if we haven't got one within 2 weeks, I go for option 4.

It depends on who the new manager is and what loan players are brought in. It was evident from last night that the current squad is not good enough because, with one or two players out injured, the quality is not there to replace them. The crucial player now is Ferry, but he needs back up, and we desperately need someone with a bit of flair to replace Ritchie.

With the current squad I can see us fading away and dropping out of the promotion race completely.

On the positive side, though, if we do make the play-offs I suppose Caddis would be eligible to play....?

We've lost Ritchie,Hollands, Bostock and Martin,  and Ferry and Devera to  Injury, get a few players in we'll be fine, the reality is we've lost 1 game in 14, everyone else this end of the table is as flaky or even worse at the moment.

And Hartlepool are top of the (last 6) form guide and only 6 points adrift!

How this ends is entirely dependent on the new board. What has gone until now is not necessarily (and certainly not wholly) of their doing, but now they must be decisive and proactive - appoint a good manager, and get loans in fast. It is not as if PDCs resignation is new news - we knew before Crawley. Plans should be in place.

How anyone can have the first idea of how to form an opinion on this I don't know. The tables incredibly tight, no-one's form is that consistent, we have no idea who will take over the manager's office, or what wriggle room there is for new loan signings.

One things for sure, there's no easy replacement for Ritchie out there. I can only hope that Rooney can take advantage of the opportunity this gives him and finally come good,

This along with mrverves is how I see things panning out. With the right manager and 2 or 3 loanees in we are in with a good shout, without these maybe between playoff places and top ten. Think the 1st division is our true level but that's not to say I wouldn't love Championship football at SN1.
