Relegation has only been a serious possibility since Robinson took over.
We were looking over our shoulders under Slade too.
Robinson took over after Nugent's solid 3 game stint. Most talk on here at that point, was more about pushing on for a play off spot and being above Millwall.
We are not going down. All those who are & have been wetting their pants because Port Vale had 3 games in hand, well, I have news for you. They have played 2 of those games & have picked up 1 solitary point. And who have they played in those 3 games ...top 6 sides perhaps or a team bang in form ?? No, they have played the bottom team, Coventry - and lost, and then drew at home to MK Dons. Wow.
I really don't think we have any thing to worry about.
I expect a point at Peterborough and then a stirring win over MKD (the off the field emotion will probably drive the team on), which will make us virtually safe.

I've not wet my pants yet, but there is still a bit of the journey to go and I wish I'd gone before we set off. Maybe it's my age. It comes to somehing though, that Golfie is one of the most positive on here, when just a few years ago he used to be derided for his pessimisom.
I don't think we will go down but it could be a lot closer than many thought. Top 6 budget? Play-offs? Get real, we have been poor all season. Again. Fuck off Duchatelet.
Agree we won't go down, even though on current form we would be down there, so lucky we got enough points pre Robinson.
But we need to remember that our leaders assured us that we would be "there or thereabouts" this season as we looked to bounce straight back. Sadly, I mistakenly thought "there or thereabouts" referred to the top of the table not the bottom.

Check the tables then and now.
Mr F has now had to hide the razor blades.....
Where's @Essex_Al to inject a soupcon of positivity ?
...that's some consolation at least, right?
...and we can take that 'positivity' forwards to next season when we play Lincoln.

For 12 months.
But 4 6-pointers in the run in - will we have the bottle?
A lot depends on Pearce coming back strongly.

Too bad we have one win in our last 12.
