dazl1212 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Don't expect us to stay up at all. I think we've got a decent side mind you, I hope we can keep hold of the majority of them for league 2 next year.

I am wondering why the EFL convened a disciplinary panel to punish Liverpool but couldn't deal with us at the same time. Because the Liverpool breach was in a knockout competition and needed quick resolution. Ours is before an independent tribunal - either they are is disagreement or just inefficient.

Frees might be different. Hill I expect already has an eye on what he wants for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowball Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Ive not given up yet. Weve played 5 of top 6 plus Sunderland, Rotherham & Oxford who will be in top 10 at end of season i reckon. Need to pick some points up against bottom half teams and put some pressure on Southend, Wimbledon, Trampmere, Accy and one or two others. Then could get interesting but im enjoying the ride just need luck to change and it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you look round rest - not many likely to get 5 let alone double figures. Dodoo might I guess. He does. But he's also knocking on, doesn't look sharp yet, and should he suffer an injury, we're back to square one. Whether Hall will do anything at his level, who knows, but he too will need time to get match ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with league two. We still have club. And it would be a glorious promotion season. I’d probably prefer that to a rebuild in league one with another completely new squad. Get some momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Probably need a bit less to stay up this season with only 23 teams / 3 going down Let’s say 45 points best case scenario, we are on -8pts with at least -6pts to come 59 points from 33 games (assuming the Doncaster game won’t be replayed) gives a target of 1.8pts per game, that’s 80 points a season / promotion form I think we are a bit toothless up top for that, even if we didn’t have the injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I think without Buckley and Bridcutt out for a lengthy period we could have had a squeak as we look solid and will get better. But just beyond us now but I would love to be proven wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted October 8, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 8, 2019 I don't think we'll stay up as we're nearly a quarter of the way through the season, on -8, and I've still not seen us score yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfcfan5 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 End of the day Anderson and his actions relegated us. Had he put it into admin in March we'd be set for this season. As it stands the new owners and new management take absoluely no blame for where we are. This season is just about restoring some pride, playing some good football and building for a glorious return from the ashes next season. In a way I think we always had to repeat the cycle - go to league 2 and rise once again. It was in the stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sow some seeds this season, then a fresh start next term with a proper pre season behind us and some fresh faces - the rebirth of BWFC will start properly next season imo. Looking forward to to the ride tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 10, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2019 Just had a look at L2 teams, going to be a scramble for tickets at quite a few away days next year. Will certainly pay to have a season ticket next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) I think we need to win 4 of our next 6 really to have any chance of survival, otherwise we will fall too far behind and the positivity and confidence will begin to ebb away. October: Rochdale at home - Win Bristol away - Draw/Lose Lincoln away - Draw/Lose November: Fleetwood at home - Win MK Dons at home - Win Accrington away - Win That's a very positive forecast for our next 6 games and that would only get us to +4 or +5 points after 16 games. Tranmere are safe at the minute on 9 points, so imagine they pickup another 6 points, that would put us 10 points off safety by December. Disregarding speculation on another points deduction, I think that's salvageable. Even though it's cliche, we do have to take it game by game right now, not expect too much and hope for a miracle. I am enjoying the season so far, Keith and the players have been a breath of fresh air but unless we build more hope it could get a bit dull when we have nothing to play for by January and players that may not be here past the summer start to give up a bit. I still believe we can do it, but like many on here don't think going down to L2 would be the worst thing, however, we can't assume that we will go straight back up!

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 10, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2019 Daft thing is, if we won the first, we could win them all. Just need that initial boost. With the number of injuries, not sure that's happening that soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) I think all our November games are winnable, even with injuries, so even if we don't win a game for the rest of October I will still believe. November could be our kickstarter month. December is always busy, so with some momentum we could really take off. I remember Coyle x Elmander won the POTM and MOTM for November back in the PL, may just be our lucky month...

MancWanderer Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Not a chance of staying up We'll see some good games, nick some creditable draws but won't win enough Even if we did, the EFL will put paid to any chance with their next penalty Next season should be a belter in Div 4 and I look forward to another "Wrexham" towards the end. Those days are what we live for. When we've been shit on for years, tossed about, had the piss taken out of us for hitting rock bottom, and then that one day appears......that one day when we go mental and shout very loudly to everyone......."FUCK YOU. WE'RE BACK!!!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
