We are going up (the optimism thread)

[martonrover]

Suggestion for the Mods - insert "tits" between "going" and "up".

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

My take on the “ optimum thread “ - maybe we won’t go down this season.

I've no idea how accurate that is but if we do have those players coming back between mid January and mid February, you'd hope some of them could make a difference. How's that for optimism?

⬆️😉

Optimism - We might not go down

Pessimism - We might not stay up

Reality - Our owners are shite

This thread has gotten dusty! 

To try and force a little bit of hope back into people. 

We're 8 points off relegation and 11 points off 6th. We've got a game in hand over most so if we win that we're 11 off relegation and 8 off 6th. Players coming back from injury and a couple of good signings in the next 24 hours or so and we're back on track.

 

Anyone? Anyone at all?

There's optimism and there's delusion.

Nowhere obvious to put this.

I know 99% of us will be firmly in agreement!!

At the time many of us said we needed a proper manager. We would have been promoted if they'd just given us that.

Bonkers and sums up the idiotic owners.

Given he’s been promoted several times since, he’s very well placed to assess what’s needed to get out of this division too. Galling that it didn’t happen.

[Mattyblue]

Right team, wrong manager or vice versa, alas we’ve never had both at the same time under this lot.

[philipl]

Win the 13 remaining games and we get to 77 points.

Well it does say the optimism thread...

Haha. I'm not sure this is the right thread for that one. We should have got promoted but we didn't. FFS. Who would have thought back then we would still be here..

Back to the thread..

We beat Norwich 5-0 at home on the weekend 

[ScorpioRover]

i think if we beat Newcastle on Tuesday night we should get an automatic promotion spot

The ticket map v Newcastle is pretty worrying. Anyone know how many tickets we’ve sold?

Haven’t seen much marketing for this fixture at all amidst all the relentless fake positivity surrounding the new manager on social media & the website. 

If we can’t sell tickets for a game against a “glmaorous” Premier League & Champions League side what hope have we got?

 

[Mattyblue]

Jack Walker isn’t looking horrendously  bad, I suppose. I imagine most tickets will be sold over the weekend and then Monday/Tuesday.

But yes, big bumper last 16 crowd it won’t be.

Lets have it right this club is in the doldrums, big time.
