Come on...

...let's be sacking him,
Come on...let's be sacking him.
Come on...let's be sacking him,
Come on...let's be sacking him!

Best chant pre-match yesterday, makes me wonder how much longer it'll all have to carry on before the board realise we're in far more trouble than they're currently admitting to.

We've ruined Ashton (turning him into a poor man's target man), our defence that was once oh-so-reliable is now leakier than the Titanic, we lack width and creativity on the flanks and our midfield is packed full of workhorses that are no doubt fine when played alongside recognised playmakers (a la Holt in our play-off year) - but put them all in the team together and you only serve to highlight their lack of technical ability.

We need to get 1.08 points a game to hit fifty, the recognised 'safety point' for survival - more embarrisingly we need 2.08 to hit seventy five, usually enough for the play-offs. Two points a game is considered Championship form...and we only achieved 2.04 the year we won the league.

The only chance we have of not playing Championship football next season is if we're relegated, and it could be a possibility.
