possible if the manager has confidence in the team, on Saturday when we scored the team was buzzing, and the crowd was buzzing, then he made the substitution and the team dropped off, and the crowds mood dropped.

Well, when you put it like that it sounds easy!!
Championship next season!! Waaahoooo!!

We would need to win every other game if we didn't draw a single one but that is highly unlikely. I agree though we face a struggle to stay up if we don't start picking up some wins very soon.oddball":usegxlik said:

Last season Shrewsbury were in the bottom four for the first five months of the season including bottom of League One at the end of October and November but had a good second half of the season.
From the last 22 games of the season from January to April they won 8, drew 6 and lost 8 and finished in 18th place on 51 points, 2 points away from relegation.
It can be done, it will be tight and much will depend on the players we sign in January.

Well if we go through the season getting points at the current rate of 7 from 42 we will most probably go down. I think that's in fact obvious. So we need to do a lot better. But let's hope we can get our first win since Charlton tomorrow and press on from there. We are well overdue thumping a side 4 or 5 nil. Let's hope we can avenge that Wembley embarrassment.
I think we need to start somewhere, from there it's anyone's guess how this season will turn out. Things haven't gone out way so far but surely we have to win at some point even if it's a complete fluke. Once we've got that win we have something to at least build on.
Hopefully today is that day but the key is getting that first win.

I think that while this division does have that 'anyone can beat anyone' feel given some of the recent results, I think all we have to do from here on in is aim to have 1 point more or better goal difference than the team that are 4th from bottom. Frustratingly, the lower teams have all been picking up points, but as the season goes on, I think we will see the division split. I suspect there will be a mini league of about 8 teams that will all be in with a shout of relegation with 6 games to play. All we have to do is finish in the top half of those 8. We are 6 points behind that target with 31 games to play.
Setting targets of 50+ is overwhelming. At the moment, our target is to claw back 6. Being at the bottom, rather than the top, means that 3 points count for so much more if the teams around you are losing, rather than winning.

But it's not just the 6 points, we then have to stay ahead of the 4 teams hopefully then below us.
The target is now 40 points from 30 games, by no means impossible but it means on average 4 points from each 3 games or win one / loose one / draw one for the rest of the season.
No matter how you try and work out the stats required for survival it comes down to one thing ...scoring goals!. Simplistic I know.
The bottom 5 clubs have scored the least goals. We aint going to survive playing the same tactics and with no recognised goalscorer. And before someone else says it..."no poo Sherlock" !
