I haven't included Bristol, although feel they could be dragged into it but probably safe with 2 games to go.
I can but dream.......

But even so, the team are starting to give it a good go.

Our last 11 matches include fixtures against 7 of the top 9 and also two of our relegation rivals; the only way we're going to avoid finishing bottom is if Bolton go into administration in the next couple of weeks and cop a points deduction. Even then it'll be a close run thing.
Let's face it, we're down. The only question that remains is how embarrassing and humiliating our final points total and goal difference will be.
The difference between us and Leicester is that Leicester weren't playing all the top teams, most of their opponents were either relegation rivals or mid-table sides.
And they hadn't been as inept as we've been most of the season ...
... with a decent team spirit ...
... and a better and experienced manager.
But apart from that our situation is very similar: like Leicester we'll start the new season 2000-1 for the title ...

That's about the best I can imagine.
13 + 28 = 41 (relegated)
At the end of the day, Karel Fraeye has cost us big time this season. Although his employers are the ones that put him there...
Even if we stay up, they still gave Karel Fraeye a ridiculous amount of games in charge of OUR team. Crazy.
Roland out.

Looks plausible but oh so unlikely.
Charlton's relegation confirmed long before the final day of the season means none of our boys really put a shift in and Jose Riga's so far into his holiday plans he doesn't realise until half time that he's come to work in bermuda shorts.
Highly unlikely but possible. Tuesday is key and I hope a bumper crowd turn up, forget about the regime for 90 minutes and just get right behind them from the first whistle, unlike the Bristol City game.
Roland's puppet will give out ever increasing amounts of free tickets. Announce a big push to make us competitive in Div 1.
Ticket office only open on a Friday
Plan for the religation party now.
