Too many teams on good runs of form of late and it will simply be too much for the squad to make up a bigger points deficit than already exists.
Lose or draw we need to up the Lambert Out Campaigning

How he is still in the job I really do not know? Beating Crewe makes no difference to us and PL’s managerial capability, it won’t suddenly make us promotion contenders. When you can’t beat any of the current top 7 and haven’t consistently over the last 18 months that should highlight enough to ME that we simply aren’t going anywhere with PL, clause or no clause. The way things are going I’m more concerned about those teams behind us, we’re even struggling against them and our general lack of goals and form is that of a team fighting the threat of relegation.

Yeah, think a few people underestimating the chances of play-offs from here, even with a competent manager. Very unlikely. |  | | |

Our season is over so long as Lambert remains here. It's not terminal yet even if we lose at Crewe but our only chance of salvaging anything from this season is if we change manager as soon as possible. Every day he is here kills our chances. |  |

Doubt we will beat them. They will want to bounce back after their recent drubbing. Sooner Lambert goes the better. |  | | |

HOpefully the season begins tomorrow if we lose, with a new gaffer in charge.
If we do we'll have 35 points after 23 games - new guy would need 40 to get us in the play offs, 50 to push for automatic......not a Herculean task |  |

Since we last played Crewe we have played 14 games and lost 9.
The only teams we have been able to beat are:
Burton (twice)
Shrewsbury
Plymouth (after they went down to 10 men)
We weren't convincing when we beat Crewe at PR. Under the current regime I wouldn't be confident of us being able to beat anybody in this league, look at Swindon as an example of how low we have sunk.
Unless we have a massive turnaround in form, this season is already a write-off. The sooner we get rid of Lambert, the better chance we have of turning things around.
Lambert Out! | | | |

Might need a bit more than that - there are currently six teams in the division on target for 82 points or more and four looking at 86 points or more. |  |

It always settle down though, got to go back to 2010 for a seaosn where 75 points wasn't enough for at least 6th place....
Only takes a couple of defeats for those teams on course for 82 to be on course for 76/77 | |

I don't agree with that plenty of clubs have come from a worse position and made the playoffs. Many times you see a team sneak into 6th place and they haven't been in the top 6 at any stage previously in that season and then win the playoff. HOWEVER we need a manager to pick a team who can get into the form that will take us into the top 6 |  | | |

Sure, but equally there's another group of 6 teams for whom a couple of wins put them on course for 80+ as well.
I don't know if there's a general tendency for teams in the top half to score fewer points in the second half of the season? Maybe this is just going to be one of those weird seasons where points are unevenly distributed to the top half... [Post edited 29 Jan 2021 9:43]

The problem for a new manager coming in will be that we're going to be playing two games a week for two months, with lots of those away (of our last 24 games, 10 are at home, 14 away) so lots of travelling, little chance to take stock, put together a strategy, work on anything on the training ground etc. Just a slog to the end of the season.
Definitely not impossible, but a really big ask. | | | |

Our run of 10 points in last 10 games, includes picking up 3 points from 7 home games | |

He isn’t going anywhere, is he? If Evans is still backing him with trying to get loan signings he wants, I highly doubt it means he’s about to get the boot.
Club is a shambles. | | | |

Worth also highlighting that we have played Sunderland twice but are yet to play Northampton or Wimbledon so realistically our second half of fixtures are slightly more favourable. | |

Your first paragraph says it all. | | | |

We'll likely be 6 points off the top 6 with half the season to go. With a competent manager we'd have a good chance of getting there. |  |

Hold on even if we made the play offs do you think we would be capable of beating the other teams?
Us fannying about owning the ball whilst they attack with purpose? | | | |

Am slightly worried that he's still out looking at getting loans in and is looking to loan out players.
I know that doesn't actually mean anything but it could mean something.
I can't take anymore of the nonsense to be honest. He needs to go today, I don't even care if it's a day before a match. We are likely to lose the match anyway so doesn't make a difference.

I don't think Evans will let him get anyone else in. That's not based on any def info, I just can't see it - even Evans wouldn't do that. | |

The earliest he'll be sacked is Sunday, and the transfer window closes Monday night.
If a new man is appointed on Monday, then they have no time to get a transfer in - so these are club deals being done, not manager deals.
I wouldn't worry too much about them as having any bearing on long term future | |

The one thing I'm clinging onto in this case is that it's the potential new manager pulling the strings, i.e Yep, need a striker or back up LB etc.
I know that sounds implausible, but that's all I've got in desperation. |  |

I think a lot of the recruitment is done centrally at the club rather than being manager led in it's entirity | |

That potentially bodes well then, and it's also not a big sign of Marcus backing Lambert per se. | |
