22pts behind Top 2 :shock:

15-21 pts behind play off teams :shock:

So its planning for next season, I can see another mass clear out this Summer.

more noticeable is 15 points off play off.

Staying up is the objective and I pray we do under slade.

Luke, It would be a miracle under Slade to catch up on 6th place.

I dont want to look at the bottom clubs, I am convincing myself theres no chance.

We just need to beat Brighton,Millwall,Blackpool and Wigan :thumbright:

Any hope of promotion, automatic or playoffs, went out the window weeks ago and ALL we are left with is avoiding relegation. At this moment I think 46 points will do that so the question is "Where do we get the 11 points from?".

Brighton, Blackpool and Millwall are ABSOLUTELY MUST WIN home games but where do we get the other win from?. Slade made much of our league position when he was appointed manager, 17th, but after 19 league games in charge we are just 1 point above that same position with the greater worry of only being 1 defeat away from a possible 20th position.

What is clear is that Slade has failed to galvanise our squad into achieving a level of consistency required to make a sustained move up the table. Despite having both Dalman and Choo to hold his hand at the pre match press conference this week, where he was given the dreaded "Vote of Confidence", I believe he is only a bad result away from being shown the door.

The problem then is who do we get because the thought of Scott Young being left in charge :o Anything other than a win against Brighton is unthinkable in my opinion.

The only thing keeping us out of the bottom three in the current form table is that we are 1 goal better off than Millwall. Unless we can pick up a win very quickly , we are going to be right in the middle of the relegation fight, and from what I've seen over the last couple of months things are not looking that good. I think we'll stay up - just.

Saw the goals last night and I have to say our defence still looks very poor, Manga looked awful, slow and out muscled, very worrying :roll: No doubts about it, we are going to be fighting in a relegation battle until the end of the season. We have not improved over the 19 games Slade has had, we are about the same, which for me us not good enough. I would not want to give this guy a summer in the transfer market. I hope Tan sees sense and brings in a manager and back room staff who know what they're doing. Steve Bruce is rumoured to be thinking of going to Fulham, so surely he would be interested in the job here or I would drop down for Phil Brown, who is a very good manager who should be managing at a higher level. :thumbup:

Gary Slade,needs proper coaches with him ASAP.

Young and Gabbidon, in my opinion just about suit the Under 12's.

Didn't think we get promotion this season annis has long as we don't go down that is my main concern lets we hope finish strong .so we can build for next season.im not throwing the towel in but I just can't see us doing it this season

Re: So it looks like Promotion or even the Play-Offs are Ove

1 win in 10!! That's not even a stable sight is it.... We will be dragged into that that relegation battle soon and we don't have the fight for it.

Remember when Southampton got rid of Nigel Atkins after a few games....it was the right decision.

Sacking Ole and bringing in Slade in time will be seen as the right decision.

We all knew that Ole's team didn't have the bottle for a promotion campaign, the club senior management realised that Ole didn't the minerals to push the high earners out the club and prepare us for a second season in the championship under FFP rules.

If I was Tan- Slade has demonstrated he has the ability to manage the club, but his footballing nous is not there for the second tier of the top league in the world. In the summer i would restructure and make Slade DoF and get him to hire an up and coming first team coach.

Now that last sentence is an interesting point which deserves a thread and a debate all of it's own mate.

We do need to win the games Annis I saying that are approaching but even 2 wins out of those 4 will help us pull away, we have enough to stay up, and the bottom 3 are losing lots and will lose a lot more, especially Blackpool.

Rebuild and new badge, new blue home kit, and next season will be a goodun hopefully

MK away anyone?

Manga was excellent yesterday. He wasn't "outmuscled" for the goal, he was fouled but nothing was given by a referee who had a very poor game yesterday, letting their forwards get away with murder whilst penalising kenwyne and Revell every time they tried to challenge for the ball.

Manga is by a million miles our best centre half and will be one of the first out of the door at the end of the season with no doubt a choice of any number of clubs who would be willing to take him.
