Scary run of games: Doncaster (H) Coventry (A) Rotherham (A) Fleetwood (H) Bolton (A) Coventry (H) Wycombe (A) All winable How many of the doom and gloom mob are the ones who had us nailed on for relegation this season under Graham Coghlan?
Give the lad a run of games and see where we are; I suspect come the end of the season we will be closer to the promotion spots than the relegation ones. Then again I am a blue tinter

I've just had a £1 on us to get relegated at 250/1. I did the same just in case on sky bet. No odds for us bet365, even though some clubs were 300/1.

Scary run of games: Doncaster (H) Coventry (A) Rotherham (A) Fleetwood (H) Bolton (A) Coventry (H) Wycombe (A) As things are I can't really see us winning any of those. I would expect the rearranged Sunderland game to appear toward the end of that sequence too. BG needs to get the fight and spirit back soon, else a poor run could escalate into a full scale collapse. Someone often falls from a relatively high spot to be in or around the relegation places in the second half of the season - clearly I really hope it isn't us. Like many I was pleased to see where we were/are in the league, but have always felt it was on a bit of a knife edge where we got results through sheer effort and bloodymindedness. If we lose that spirit without a significant influx of talent then we will have a difficult season end. If we can stay up, then BG could well be the right man long term, but if we go down then he won't get that chance.

Do not be quick to write this guy off, he certainly has a clarity of thought and knows the weaknesses.

Think we need to be patient until March or early April but it will happen eventually I'm sure.

With Rovers that has been spirit and determination. I think the players were a bit scared of GC and the dressing room would have been pumped up after his talks.

I've just had a £1 on us to get relegated at 250/1. 10-15 points would keep us up im surprised the odds aren’t higher.

Its very unlikely but then it is 250/1 for a reason, it is overpriced though IMO on our current form. If the next few results go as predicted above then who knows. If they do go as above then we certainly won't be 250/1 any longer.

If Tranmere pick up the same points from the second half of the season then 3 wins for us would be enough to stay up. I’m not worried about relegation but I can’t see is finishing top six now. I reckon we’ll finish about 15th.

Tranmere are awful, so if we finish below them, then we really have plummeted.

Tranmere are awful, so if we finish below them, then we really have plummeted. Just lumped a fiver on. At that price I can't not. Would soften the blow a tad if the worst did happen but I'd be very, very, very, very, VERY surprised.

Anyone not concerned we have had 1 shot on target from open play in the last 4 matches?

I reckon we’ll finish about 15th. I'm not worried about relegation but at 250/1 it is worth a punt. Tranmere are awful, so if we finish below them, then we really have plummeted. Normally the survival target would be about 50 points.
However, with only 23 teams instead of 24 there are 2 less fixtures. When you also factor in Boltons points deduction and Southend being on 9 points after 24 games I think the survival target this season will definitely be lower.
I would say 42 points might well be enough. So 2 wins from 23 games. 1 win and 3 draws or 6 draws would also do.
We'd probably be looking at the worst run of form in the clubs history to go down. Something like 1 or Zero wins from our final 27 league games; 4 of those have already been played. Still probably worth £1 at 250/1 on current form.
However, Garner won't still be in charge come March if he's still looking for his first win.
