*RELEGATION WATCH*

[RoyalBlue]

We fielded a decent enough team in a game that doesn't settle anything for any club. Watford are in form and at home, even the full strength 11 would have struggled today.

There will be no fine and bigger fish to fry on Monday. I think you are the only one that sees some form of injustice today.

Were you actually at the Watford game? The way they played today they were there for the taking had we played a stronger team. What's more, there's still no guarantee that we will beat Bradford tomorrow. I am sure that Parky will be emphasising our fear (because that's what the widespread changes implied) to his players.

And if I am the only person that sees some form of injustice today, then there are an awful lot of hypocrites around. How many of you were rightly indignant when Portsmouth adopted the same tactic against Fulham and it cost us our Premier League place? Similarly Clarke's selection yesterday could well influence the outcome of Championship promotion race this season.

Quite frankly, if things now go tits up for us, in the eyes of the footballing world it will be poetic justice.

[Silver Fox]

Stop crying FFS! We went down that year because we chased the game against Fulham twice, everyone knows that. Oh and lolz @ making changes out of fear

[Snowball]

All nonsense as Rotherham is not our next game.

Oh, really? I didn't know that.

I was making the point that if we lose that one
things could get very tight very quickly

for illustration I showed how it would look if played and lost "now"


sorry if that's too much of an intellectual leap for you

What a load of drivel, if, if, if....

Can't you just accept we all have different opinions and yours are no more valid than anyone else's.

[Kitsondinho]

Still going to take an extraordinary turn about in the form of 5 teams below us (discounting Blackpool and Millwall, for reasons explained earlier) for us to go down. I really can't see it happening. We will pick up at least 4 more points. That will be more than enough.

Surely it's not a big jump to suggest that Watford merely played as well as required to beat the team they were facing. If we had played a stronger team they would likely have raised their game to match.

Again, that didn't actually happen. They made four changes after a string of defeats, and two of those players kept their place for the final.

[SCIAG]

Never been convinced that anyone but the manager should select the team

Agreed. I imagine the rule is basically there to make it harder for a manager to genuinely throw a match.

[Snowball]

it's not uncommon in the last quarter of so of the season for clubs that are safe
and with no chance of the POs to play a few youngsters (for example) but I
think most sets of fans (and other clubs) would be less-than-pleased if a club
turned out a complete under 21 side with maybe two 17 year olds (unless
they are Wayne Rooney).

So it's a matter of degree. SOME weakness (looking at fringe players)
is OK, but putting out a rabble is not on.

In this case we put out an "OK" (but not our best) team

[Sutekh]

Stop crying FFS! We went down that year because we chased the game against Fulham twice, everyone knows that. Oh and lolz @ making changes out of fear

I thought it was because we failed to score another couple of goals at Derby which, as it turned out on the day, we could easily have done had Mr Coppell realised the situation from the outset.

Roll on the end of the season so we can lose snowball again.

Wigan losing at home again

Excellent, and Millwall 0-0

[Snowball]

Blackpool and Wigan losing

Millwall 0-0 on 80+ minutes

Huddersfield drawing, Bolton losing

Fantastic set of results if it stays like this

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Just Huddersfield going above us (on goal diff) as it stands

[Pepe the Horseman]

2-0 Watford.

[windermere_royal]

8 games to make up 10 points. not gonna happen

[genome]

nowt to do with us, but LOL @ Huddersfield

Go 2-1 up in the 96th minute, James Vaughan takes his shirt off in celebration, only to realise he's already been booked and gets sent off

Norwich go down the other end and equalise
