Doesn’t mean shit. We had quite a few “must win games” last season and we were the standard incompetent, negative shit. I have zero confidence this time round, at the other end of the table, will be any different.
Unless Joao stays fit and re-finds his early (last) season form, without a change in management we will be relegated. I’m certain of it.
We might be in a bad way, but the teams around us aren't exactly fairing much better either and they haven't had selection issues to the extent we have for the majority of the season.
It's not so much an excuse but if we can get most of our first team players back, I'm confident we will survive, whether we change the manager or not. I'm not too sure how good Peterborough actually are, they don't seem cut out for this level, Barnsley definitely aren't and I think Derby will eventually fade away as they lose players.
If the lose Lawrence then they will really be in trouble and others will be downing tools or looking to get out. Crest of wave at mo, but lets hope its a sinking ship.
Talk of Derby losing Sibley (millwall), knight (prem team). Lawrence must be on the radar of the likes of wba. Shinnie gone, Jagielka gone. Rooney having head turned by everton. Be unbelievable if they stay up tbh
Barnsley rubbish and a long way behind, Peterborough and Hull struggling
We don’t have to be great to stay up. Just matching what we did first half of the season will be plenty good enough. Really does depend on if we can get Joao, Meite and co back fit and firing
