Are we safe now 10 points with 8 games to go. |
Yep I think that should do it.
Martin still needs to be sacked. |  | | |

I think it all boils down to whether the owners trust him to spend their money.
Saying that a defeat today and he would have been on very thin ice. [Post edited 19 Mar 2023 18:48]

Much to the disappointment of some, irrespective of the remaining results, I have a feeling he is going nowhere. |
The thing is here will be no consequences to these last few games, I can imagine that now we are safe the pressure will be well and truely off which will mean we either win a few or lose them all being on the beach.
I don't think Martin should stay past this season though, gets it wrong far more often than he gets it right. Which today was and it was great. | |

Today showed how good it can be which makes it so frustrating most of the time. Every now and then I think we have turned the corner only to be disappointed again. IMO the telling point will be next game when Fulton, Latibeaudiere and Joe are back, what system will we play then and what players. |  | | |

Let’s be honest we played a pretty crap Bristol City side.
Papered over the cracks & nothing else. | | | |

We played well and won, I'll take papering like that every week. | | | |

It's a bit of both.
We deserved the win today no doubt. Picking midfielders who actually look to get the ball forward was a big factor in that, and we mostly controlled the game. For once, we had a bit of possession with purpose as opposed to possession just to get the stats (or metrics) up.
On the flip side, the opposition weren't much cop. Hard to get excited about beating a team that did so little to press us in our usual weak areas. It's like they'd done no scouting on us whatsoever. |  |

Probably what happens when you have a master tactician like Pearson as a manager.
As for midfielders Ntcham was a class above any other player on the pitch. | | | |

They're above us in the table.
Whenever we win, it's because the other team's crap. 'Twas ever thus. | | | |

Ntcham often is.
It's one of the bigger absurdities that Oli has more goals and assists than any other midfielder (possibly more than all the rest of them combined) yet so often finds himself on the bench whilst others play far more often. | |

This happens after every game we play well, little bit of hope, then Martin reverts to the 5 at the back system and we go on another bad run.
At least we are staying up. | |

we've played crap teams before and lost , maybe they didn't have much going forward but how many corners did they have , defending isn't our strongest asset but I thought we dealt with set pieces pretty well | |

Having the extra height of Darling in there helped with set plays. It's not ideal having him at full back but there are pluses, including when Fisher takes a long goal kick. | | | |

For some strange reason Bristol only took short corners instead of crossing to expose our weakness in the air at corners. | |

Don't let everyone know, having said that at the short corners we were often left short 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 but at least it was out wide and they were unable to convert it into a bigger threat. | | | |
