Didn't realise how bad Rotherham's run is. 9 defeats in a row. We HAVE to win next week regardless of todays result Their remaining games are just a contractual obligation for them to see out the season. The Rotherham fans probably can't wait till it be all over, they only took 150 to Norwich yesterday. |

Jesus Christ, let’s hope the squad don’t have the same mindset! I'm sure a few on here will calm down a bit around 2pm this afternoon Wba are not Brazil...we have home advantage and need the points more than them...imo temporarily dropping into the bottom 3 will give the lads more focus and make them try even harder Keep the faith This hasn't aged well. |

Anyone else think we’re fucked? Jesus Christ, let’s hope the squad don’t have the same mindset! Seems like they do |

Within a few games we’ve crumbled. Other teams picking up, we’re regressing.
Damage was done with Darren Moore for 23 games.
Every other team looking at Town as one of the three down, I can’t pick another team that I think are definitely down.
How the fuck has that happened.

The club only have themselves to blame.
From start to finish it's been an absolute shitshow.
The club thought they were being clever not signing any strikers in the summer, sacking Warnock, appointing Moore, keeping Moore.
Those at the top seem to me like they haven't got a clue what they're doing.

We banked on Warnock performing miracles at the back end of last season, then basically signed no one and asked him to do it again. Then sacked Warnock (?) for the least charismatic bloke on earth. There’s some good stuff going on at the club and I do think Andre is a top coach. But damage might have already been done. Absolute shitshow. |

Thought we’d lose today and stay up. Still think we’ll stay up.
Hopefully the staff and lads aren’t as defeatist as some on here.

He probably is a top coach but we've brought him in far too late. Plus, the players just aren't good enough, how many managers have they seen off in the last couple of years? The squad wasn't good enough last season yet the club felt it was alright "because Warnock". Everything is finally coming home to roost and we deserve everything we get. |

The big worry is Dan that a Stoke, a Millwall, a QPR and a Wednesday (up until yesterday with the latter two anyway) would’ve probably taken a point or worse all three off WBA today...🤭 |

Sadly agree. 6 months of daft decisions = relegation |

Im concerned but not resigned to relegation like I was last year.
Ultimately, if we beat Rotherham (No assumptions, no guarentees) we are probably out the relegation zone. That boosts confidence, then we have a few games we can target.
If we can get 7 points out the next 4 games we are well on the road to safety. Then another 7 from the last 5 and i think we are safe...ish.
As others have said, i actually fancy us more against the top half teams than the ones around us. Much better on the counter than trying to break a defensive team down.

Ok, we need to put the last few crap results behind us.
We are lucky that results elsewhere have been going our way.
I understand the performances have had an impact or our positivity but it is so tight at the bottom that one good result can change everything.
You'd have to say a point at Coventry would be the best outcome, the hope we can pick up some wins in the remaining games before Ipswich.

After Rotherham I'm now really concerned that we're not going to make it. After winning 8 out of 38 we suddenly need to win at least 3, or maybe 4, of our last 8.
Wednesday have turned the corner and I think both Millwall and QPR have enough to stay up. I'm looking at Blackburn, Birmingham and possibly even Plymouth to hand us an escape route. I hate relying on other results but I think now we need all the help we can get.
Our next 2 matches are huge, and I reckon we need 4 points to at least give us a platform. Coventry will be tough but maybe their FA Cup adventure will distract them. Stoke could really go either way, depending on which team turns up.
I keep telling myself it's only football and League 1 wouldn't be the end of the world, but actually I think it would 😰

More than that would be great. Less than that and alarm bells will be ringing…… |

We're at home to Coventry,a win is not out of the question I was impressed how Coventry played in the cup this weekend, attacking minded, accurate passing, highly motivated. I immediately thought at the time that we won't beat them, or very unlikely to do so.
AB has lost the momentum from Worthy and we couldn't even beat lowly Rotherham, why? Because the harsh truth is that we are now equal to them.
We're unfortunately getting the comeuppance from several years of very poor decision making, compounded by even more wrong decision making. Whilst it's not over until the Fat Lady (sitting on the row behind me with the pork pie stuffed in her mouth) Sings, it's looking grim.

OUR RUN: Cardiff (away) WBA (home) Rotherham (away) Coventry (home) Stoke (away) Millwall (home) Preston (away) Bristol (away) Swansea (home) Birmingham (home) Ipswich (away) At the moment I can't see us winning any of those games........ |

As we play teams around us still, it's technically still in our hands We were looking for 4 wins before the Rotherham game, to get above 50 points..or at least 3 wins and a draw or two at a push.
Rotherham was the 3 point 'banker' from the remaining fixtures but now it looks a lot harder. 3 wins in 8 games...
Of our away games I can only see Stoke as a possibility...Preston, Bristol C and Ipswich never happy hunting grounds for us. From our 4 home games , Coventry simply look to good, so 2 wins from Millwall, Swansea and Birmingham... of which only Birmingham are still on poor form...the other two have managed to find some form under new managers...unlike us.
I think we'll be down before the final games tbh...unless AB suddenly has an injection of positivity and doesn't settle for draws like he did at 9 defeats in a row Rotherham....ffs..

One thing you need to remember in this league.....there is no 'banker'.....!!! |

So many have thrown their teddies out of the cot since Saturdays result!
If you weren’t so arrogant and didn’t have the attitude of “oh we need to improve our goal difference against these” then you might not be so disappointed!
Rotherham are a lot tougher opponent at home and rarely get battered there, so as frustrating as Saturday was it was still a point gained on about 4-5 relegation rivals, some folk need to reign it in and support the team over these last 8 games rather than wittering on about Worthington or Warnock!

Whilst I agree somewhat about the arrogance of some thinking we'd smash them, I don't think you can see a draw against a team who've lost 9 on the spin as anything other than 2 points lost. We won't have an easier game all season and Wendies and Stoke won't have any that are much harder. They, and everyone else around us, will have been delighted with us getting only a point. |

QPR Leeds Sunderland Ipswich Blackburn Preston
but did better than
Coventry Norwich Boro'
who lost
but having lost their last 5 home games, including to fellow relegation strugglers Stoke and Wednesday, you can see why we thought we might possibility get all 3 points....indeed desperately needed all 3 points..
