    A 1-1 draw, good enough while a few more come back.

    I'd take that
  • A 1-1 draw, good enough while a few more come back. 
    It feels like we’ve been saying that for the last month.... we need the three points.

    Totally know what you mean, but we need the likes of Cullen and JW in that side to give us a stronger platform. With the kids in, any result is a valiant, hard fought upset as far as I am concerned. Bow and JJ are pulling off minor miracles with what they have got and I am dead proud of them all.

    We've signed a player who had a torrid time at Preston until a couple of weeks ago.

    He might just be determined to prove a point.


    It's all set for Green to score and cup his ear to the booing Preston fans

    Sadly it'll be just a consolation after Bauer and Rudd score for them first
  • Return trip to SE7  with a point courtesy of a Hemed tap in,1-1.

    can’t see us getting anything from this, I’m afraid. Despite a spirited performance against the Baggies ... 3-0 defeat

    4-0 with Dempsey and Vennings scoring 2 each!
  • We’ll concede early then get into the game only not to be able to find a goal. Will concede late as we go for it late on. 2 - 0
  • I am sure the youngsters will give their all against a very organised team. Again it will not be quite good enough, 2-0 to Preston.

    Unlike yourself some of us are old and therefore experienced or charltonised. Cheering louder or believing our luck will turn is just bluster.

    Dig out the form table in the last 21 games and pretty sure we're bottom with 15 points. Been rubbish away from home last two months where we've not looked like scoring even when playing against ten men.

    Realistically we won't survive unless the owners bring at least 4 players in over the next two weeks. As Paul Weller said - reality is so hard.

    Sorry but I've experienced 7 relegations in my 51 years of following our great club and can see the obvious warning signs that we could be on for an eighth.

    Experience and an old head are seriously underrated by the yoot 😁

    Wait till you have done your time. All the signs are there.  We are a dog in a fight.

    I think there is one thing you shouldn't do - which is disrespect points when you are in our position. Tomorrow's point or points could be the ones that ultimately keep us up. We have had 18 days to mitigate our injury crisis to some extent. We have even brought forward the Fulham game which feels like incredible ineptitude. Why should we all be so joyful at this?

    I'm not saying bring in superstars, but can we honestly not have loaned a couple of players more suited than Vennings and Dempsey responding to the situation as it is? Absolutely no disrespect to those players at all - it is just they are not ready yet. Even if we get a point or 3 from one or both of those games, the odds are against us and respecting the importance of the points would have seen us try to make the positive outcome at least a little more likely.

    But why are we surprised or anything else? We have the lowest budget in the league by some distance, yes we have been taken over now, but we have still performed well above what many were saying and suggesting.

    Our form for a little while has been poor, but it has coincided with the worst injury record people can really remember. The form is the biggest warning sign, but with players coming back results will ultimately pick up. We also have far more of a fight within this group of players and staff than we have had in previous years of relegation battles. We have also never once entered the bottom 3 under Bowyer as manager.

    I’m not silly enough to say we aren’t in a fight because we are. I may be half your age but I still understand football. We are in a fight but that’s always been the case. I just don’t believe things are as bad and as worrying at this very moment as what the negativity on this thread says it to be.

    Like you I have seen 7 relegations. 
    But like you I have also seen 7 promotions. 
    Hence we are now in the same tier of football as when we started supporting this wonderful club.
    Trust me my long time fellow supporter we will not be seeing our 8th relegation this season.

    I think that those of us who are a bit worried are not advocating we protest or are unhappy the club has been taken over, but we should be able to reserve the right to be critical if we believe there is something to be critical about.

    Yeah, but some people are getting anxious and agitated because they seem to expect everything to immediately click in place.
    I know it's supposed to be the age of instant gratification, but despite huge expectation, real life doesn't usually work like that.

    And when it doesn't, they straightaway start to panic or at least fill their thoughts with worst case scenarios.
    Or so it seems.

    We know, Muttley. But let's first see where we are tomorrow at 5 o'clock.

    We know we've been on a long poor run. But we do know the reasons why.
    With players gradually returning that should, on paper at least, make us a stronger team during the next few games.

    Incidently, if we look at the past 6 games form table, we see that we've lost only twice in those 6 games.
    There's a fair few other teams who've lost more games than that in the same period.

    And we're in a better position than all the teams below us.

    Goal difference virtually makes it six. Just trying to be positive!
