We need to win the majority of those 11 games to have ANY chance of staying up.
I can't see us winning the majority of those games. Really cant.
We have Barnsley and Peterborough coming up soon. That will be pivotal to everything. Lets see.

You must be very young if you see this as the worst season in living memory or not supported city that long Not a good season but far from the worst season we have ever had
Agree. I remember being a few places off relegation from the old 4th division when Hibbit was in charge; plus the dreaded Durban years.
I have to agree, this season for me has been the worst in living memory. Its more than just the league position.
For the first time ever, this year, Ive simply not wanted to go to games, when we have lost there has been a resignation way before the final whistle.
Yes, we have been lower, but when has EVERYTHING gone sour all at once. Fury at the board, continuous poor appointments, no money, when there should be some, poor quality play, poor quality players, little effort,no communication, no excitement at things like pre season or transfer windows,dwindling crowds, poor home atmosphere... and being told expect more of the same next year.
Nobody at the club has a clue how to get a tune out of anyone else, board to manager, manager to players, players to crowd.
The only people playing their part are the crowd. I've done my fair share of away games. But if we do our bit, the regime will just assume we back their disastrous running of the club
The Hibbitt and Neal years were far worse and had all the elements you have mentioned above Crowds down to under 3000 for games as well
Fair enough, but for me there was still a draw to get to the games, and the excitement that when the whistle first went, we were always in with a chance to win.
I remember the Osman, Neal, Hibbit days. Cadman, Durban, Graham Williams ( remember him), Jack Leonard trying to dismantle what the late Bob Grogan had built up.
Things, for me anyway, are worse now, because we expect, and shpuld expect more, having flirted with the Premier League.
