Yet again Marshall sits on the bench all night! He can't be rated by the coaching team.

I don't get the nervousness. For me the season was dead after the Wigan defeat.
Lots and lots of 'Meh, this is shit', I get that. But nervousness... nope. (Cue Reg with stats from the 50's)
Town don't sound as if they will get another point this season. Will 51 definitely be enough to avoid the last relegation place? |

Because in the space of a few games, we've gone from being 12 points above the relegation zone to 7 or something similar?
And because we currently look like we're going concede every time the opposition gets anywhere near our box? Although that said I think we've got enough points in the bank. Just. |

To be fair, I've not even listened to tonight's game so I'll retract my remarks.
Still not at all nervous though... yet.

I wasn't feeling nervous prior to tonight. However, if Obika and Vigaroux are missing for much longer, we could genuinely be in trouble and have to rely on those below us matching us in terms of shitness. To be honest, I'll be glad when this season ends. It started poorly and looks like it's going to end in the same way. Hopefully our good run will get us over the line. |

Ajose - sore/tight hamstring - had scan...should know more end of tomorrow. Happened at end of training yesterday.
Difficult for Ellis, lack of experience makes it hard. Hylton tried to lead line but probably needs more experience along side him too.
Disappointed with lack of concentration allowing space in the box.
Second one needs to look at again, but ...doesn't want players not concentrating - getting involved with bickering/pantomime.
Even Rafael - most experienced player in back line - we've had to defend a lot - looking fatigued because of it.
We were able to get some control on a difficult pitch, needed to being lightweight up front, but we didn't create enough...didn't look composed. Missing Ajose's calmness and Obika's power. Has some good spells but didn't do enough with it.
...yeah its an obvious conclusion we need more experience...but with that comes a bigger price tag and they get snapped up quickly. We've shown in the past we can recruit young and develop..
..optimistic that before end of season we'll see a dominant performance and pick up a win.
Vigs - Liverpool taking control of rehabilitation - won't know until Thursday but don't think he'll be involved in immediate future.
Obika/Robert - may be involved on Saturday. Not starting...
Traore - tight groin - constant injury needs work to avoid in future.
Will not compromised style even on dodgy pitch.

Bury at home in a couple of weeks. We can both play out a draw like Austria vs West Germany in 1982 and both move on to 52.

Genuinely starting to get a bit worried now. Need players back ASAP, excuses are concerning, as is the lack of momentum for next season even if we do stay up (which is likely).

The players are not filling us with any confidence while I agree it's unlikely we will go down but I don't know if this squad at the moment has a another win in it. I'm sure if we're 4 points (or so) off the drop zone by close of play Saturday a lot more fans will get edgy.

Obika may be back Saturday. If he's back, we will get a win.

Squad hasnt been good enough all season really. Too much dross. I blame Power. He handles the recruitment after all. Lack of options upfront is a joke.

We nearly got away with it, but the lack of Smith replacement is hitting hard now. Obika seems a bit susceptible to injuries so hope we don't fuck about like this next season. |

On the other hand, if he worked out quite early that we had just enough to stay up, he did quite a clever job of offloading a few salaries on loan to save money for a full-blown assault next year. Right? |
