January 2, 201214 yr Wolves, Roverrs and QPR losing. Beat Everton on Wednesday and we are right back in it!
January 2, 201214 yr Author I would take a 1 goal deficit defeat. Yes, I'm that positive. It's only being so cheerful as keeps us going!
January 2, 201214 yr I'm 51 years old and watched the whites through thick and thin. For you young ones out there, keep the faith. not easy BUT you just never know with the Wanderers! It's the club you support whatever the team is. Players come and go, the club and the name stay the same! Happy New Year!!

It's the club you support whatever the team is. Players come and go, the club and the name stay the same! Happy New Year!! I can see in a few years time, a sponsors name will go in front of the old name - Pataks Bolton Wanderers has a bit of spice about it. Edited January 2, 201214 yr by Burndens Bogs
January 2, 201214 yr Wolves, Roverrs and QPR losing. Beat Everton on Wednesday and we are right back in it! a bit of hope for the glass half full people unfortunately me being more of a half empty person i still think it will take 38 points or so stay up and i cant see us getting more than 32 the pack getting away, norwich swansea etc, looks like 3 from 5.
January 2, 201214 yr the pack getting away, norwich swansea etc, looks like 3 from 5. Can't understand why people say things like that when there's still half the season left. Wigan were dead and buried a month ago, they could be out of the bottom three tomorrow.
January 2, 201214 yr Can't understand why people say things like that when there's still half the season left. Because I can't see any fight in our team.
January 2, 201214 yr Can't understand why people say things like that when there's still half the season left. Wigan were dead and buried a month ago, they could be out of the bottom three tomorrow. just looking at the numbers - 13 from first half of season, leaves the same 19 teams to play, to get to the usual survival mark of 40 means you need 27 points - a similar total to when we were playing very well first half last year, do u really think our current team can do that when the only teams who have got 27 in the first half this year are the big six and newcastle. OK it may not take 40 but i still cant see 8 victories for us. id say we'll get zero from the big six - certainly the 3 away games, and prob the 3 home, leaves 13 games try find 8 wins. with this team no way
January 2, 201214 yr thats previously sixth bottom fulham pulling clear now as well (never gonna go down like) basically look no further than wigan bolton blackburn wolves and qpr (will they spend their way out though) for your 3 to go
January 2, 201214 yr Fulham looked decent Amazing what a decent manager can do with a load of average players.
January 2, 201214 yr to get to the usual survival mark of 40 means you need 27 points The 'usual survival mark' is one more point than the team that finishes third bottom. Last season it was 40. The season before it was 31. What a team does in the first half of the season doesn't necessarily reflect what they'll do in the second half. Hull had 27 points after 19 games a couple of seasons ago. They took just 8 points from the next 19 games. West Ham only had 14 points from 19 games in 2002/3. They took 28 points from the next 19 games.

Fair enough, but we were terrible in the second half of last season as well as the first half of this. I like many attended every home league game in 2011, I just can't see how things are going to change.. Maybe we will pick up the odd unexpected win against the top teams (although our recent record is pitiful) but do you seriously think we will get more than 20 points in the second half of the season? And if we 'only' got 20 points, would 33 keep us up? I just can't see it. Hope I'm wrong, I really do.

January 2, 201214 yr We're shit at the moment, true, but if some get the kick up the arse they deserve we can still get out of it. The second half can't be as bad as the first. Scum and Chelski won't score five again. It's all a matter of confidence. Well a lot of it anyway.

January 2, 201214 yr I reckon by the end of April you'll be adding Swansea to that list. Maybe Narrrrrrrrich too. Lots of new clubs start off well and fade by the end.
January 2, 201214 yr lets hope owen can sign another goal machine on loan like sturridge.dont ask me who,i dont get paid to find them.
January 2, 201214 yr http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/LeagueTable/0,,1004~20080405,00.html Keep the faith. Look at the table. Bolton and Fulham both stayed up from positions that are worse than what we are in now.

Maybe I'm missing summat, but how is 26 points from 33 games worse than 13 points from 19 games? Do the (ahem) math...
January 2, 201214 yr Maybe I'm missing summat, but how is 26 points from 33 games worse than 13 points from 19 games? Do the (ahem) math... Mathematicaly its obviously not worse. But at that point we had just been nobbed 4-0 at Villa on a terrible run and with only 5 games to make 4 points up. I say keep the faith because we could turn it round as we have 19 games to take points from and yes we have 19 games to fall further adrift before someone points it out.

I was at that Villa game, and I was convinced that was that, but I was wrong as it turned out to be fair. You're right, you never know... I genuinely admire your spirit, I wish I could share your optimism but I have little confidence in the management / players to turn it around. I really do hope I'm wrong.
