Bristol Rovers are in massive trouble. Wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t get another win this season

Saw this coming weeks ago. They’re gone after today!

Did you think 43 might be enough? I thought 47 would with the amount of teams down there.

I'm currently watching the Bristol Rovers v Reading game on Sky + and at half time it is 0-0. Reading are half asleep, if it wasn't for their goalie they could be 2/3 down, although they did hit the post in the 2nd minute. How on earth their tall No 9 is playing at L1 level I do not know, he has been hopeless as he was against us, and the other lad Wareham is no better. I'm glad we don't need Rovers to lose this for us to stay up as it looks at the moment they will win.

I watched it too. Despite that good first half yet another loss and I will be shocked if they don’t go down. Would happily sign Kofi Shaw off them, the young kid looks to have loads of potential.

I was happy when we reached 46, think that was about the average number of points needed to survive in the last 5 years. Looks like even 43 might be enough!

Seems unlikely. Could easily see at least one side going down on 46 points.

Crawley & Rovers both down. Goal difference far too big to overcome. (Unless they have Scunthorpe next week?)

Managers like Bowen and Wilder* are rare to come by! Whether we like it or not Jon Brady is the only recent Manager who can possibly follow in their* footstops!

We should stick with him, as at the moment he is our only hope of survival as a EFL Club!

Maybe, think goal difference would have kept us up on 46 anyway

Agreed but forgive me for not wanting to rely on goal difference ever again!

Seem to remember last season a few posters on here lording the Carlisle owners for spending big in the winter window but in didn’t stop them going down and now they’re down again to the national league.

Won’t be a popular opinion but at the other end of the table Wrexham have done remarkably well. They may have some £ but 3 back to back promotions can’t be sniffed at, assuming they see things out today. I thought they may have found this season a different proposition. I hope they don’t go on to match or beat our achievement. It’s certainly going to keep getting more expensive for the boys from Hollywood.

And there you go, those last two posts! Carlisle spent big and went down back to back, Wrexham spent big and are going up back to back to back!

I wouldn't mind Rual Sotiriou, I always thought he was ok at Leyton Orient.

Exactly, it just helps….or hinders. Plus those spending big pay more for mediocrity. If we had been paying someone like Tozer the wages he was on the fans wouldn’t have been impressed.
If it was just about budgets there would be no point actually playing the games.

Will the Championship be a step too many? I wouldn’t bet against them based on the last 3 seasons.

Carlisle are no longer the best team in Cumbria, as for Wrexham, I cant wait to see the back of the media whores.

Good riddance to Wrexham. Am I jealous? Of their backing of course.

Another case of buying your way up the league, bit like Fleetwood. And we know how that is going now...

That said, unlikely Ryan Reynolds will get locked up.

Money does matter. There are exceptions of course but most would have said Birmingham and Wrexham at the start of the season and so it comes to pass.

Let's see how they do next season as you'd suspect they'll need a mass clear out. Let's see if Hollywood is prepared to pump £50,60m in to keep the bandwagon rolling

It would not surprise me if the final relegation place in the Championship went to Preston. They have not won any of their last 16 EFL games and are away to Bristol City next week. Since Woodman got injured they have had Cornell in goal and in 8 games he has let in 16 goals.

Wrexham do have a few advantages over other clubs bankrolled up the leagues. The tv show has given them global recognition resulting in ridiculously higher merchandise sales and advertising revenue than could be expected for a club their size. Also the Hollywood links mean players sign for them that could probably get better deals elsewhere, wouldn’t surprise me if Vardy rocks up there next season.

Personally I’m not that jealous, if I was only concerned about money and success I wouldn’t support the cobblers,

Further point about Carlisles fall from grace. With their relegation, and Truros promotion, that is one hell of an away day. If that fell midweek, you would need three days off work.
