Do you think this group of players have the bottle to handle a relegation battle, because last season they couldn’t handle a promotion charge and bottled it at the final hurdle. I’m seriously worried that they won’t be able to handle the presssure. GC desperately needs to get more new blood in next week to freshen it all up. Not confident of getting anything next week against Bradford.

No it's not a competition, and my post does come across as a boast, so sorry about that. It's not thing to be happy about.

Just I get shouted down and called negative far to often. Me, I call it perspective.

You have every right to be worried.

I think we will survive by the skin of our teeth, due to only one going down.

I have posted on here we stink of relegation for 3 months and was called negative. I also said these players are spunkless, but apparently it was all JD's fault. The simple fact GC is getting an even worse tune from them now speaks volumes.

Someone said a while back we need 13 more points to stop up and I thought that that was a tall order we are so poor.

We’re closer to the bottom that I like or expected to be, we’ve had a tough run of fixtures. If we’re still struggling at the end of February I will begin to worry

We now have just 2 more points from the same amount of games we had in 07\08. We finished 23rd. If we do finish 23rd we've cheated the the gallows after being found guilty of being totally Thomas and should not celabrate at all,it's utterly shameful.

I admire your optimism Spanish, can you see where we're going to win a game?

I keep hearing 'good performances' which is encouraging, but when you don't get results with good performances they mean nothing.

We need a good run and quick. Bradford apart there is no reason why we cant win the next 6 or 7 . Stranger things have happened....... I cant think of them but I'm sure they have !!!!!

Another team which have downhill during the last months or so are Cambridge. They have lost six out of their last seven games and their only points during that run came about against Morecambe. Cambridge may also have to watch out although they are currently nine points above bottom spot.

There is a reason. It's called 'the players'.

Can’t actually believe I am going to say it but we are seriously in a relegation fight and I’m not sure if we have the bottle or character to survive it.

I think the majority know they are getting shown the door in the summer and probably know it so the fight and commitment in the dressing room is probably questionable. Very worrying times.

To stay up we need goal keeper 2 centre backs 2 central midfielders right wing and left wing and some fight.

I genuinely love the simplicity of the argument, that’s something my 4 year old nephew would produce.

Have I faith in this current bunch of players to get us out of trouble NO , have I faith in this manager getting us out of trouble NO , Excuses need to end and actually get something done about it instead of pointing the finger of blame .

It was that point I was more annoyed with the board, because I went away from that game thinking Dempster cannot be allowed any more time.
