Last night I felt quite ill as reality dawned that we are down. I felt bad walking away from the KC after the 0-2 but yesterday after all feb positivity of the week prior was an absolute massive kick in the balls. I think it's terminal.

Semantically, we are not relegated. Yet. I still hope to be wrong and have a forfeit to perform at work if we do stay up.

Last night I felt fucking great as reality dawned that unleaded petrol will be down to 15p a litre in May.

I honestly think it will.

We are down, and Lerner is to blame. Lambert should have been fired and a new manager bought in the autumn. Too little too late sadly. I feel sorry for Sherwood in honesty

Yes but they're ahead of us now and I'd prefer teams around us like Burnley and QPR to win as few games as possible.

Looking at the run ins Sunderland only have 5 home games left and their away games are Man. United, Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, Hull, Stoke and Everton so if there's one above to be dragged in it's them.

ALthough of course they hit amazing form last season when they looked dead and buried.

I still think it will go to the Burnley home game. Don't forget teams with small squads suffer at the end with injuries/ suspensions coming into play. At least we have decent numbers in the sqad, even if there's little quality.

I really hope, for whatever reasons it doesn't go to the last day. I've seen a hell of a lot more fight in Burnley this season compared to the Villa team. I'd rather not have to go through a final day ordeal.

Holding on to Lambert for so long has probably done for us, the only hope is that the teams around us continue the poor form.

Probably the worst thing is seeing Sandwell FC slowly inch away from us - now 5 points in front. I think they will survive now. A good signing in Lescott - can't believe we let him join them. I think him and Okore would've been great.

Every other team seems more capable of scoring and battling harder than us. I still don't trust us that we will run for every lost cause, think quicker, be organized quicker than the teams around us. I really hope that the players watch a video of the game yesterday and learn from it. Like many people on here, I have been thinking that we are too good to go down, but I am fast losing faith in these players.

The lack of a consistent long term plan by Lerner and by the managers is where we are doomed to fail.The appointment of Sherwood is a classic example of fire fighting.Its too late now but we needed to be proactive as opposed to reactive quite some time ago.

I'm sure there have been many instances in the past where a team in utterly dire form, with seemingly no way out of it, do exactly that (as opposed to never, ever winning again.) I think that applies to us: while at this moment, things look completely bleak, we'll improve, but not in the sort of linear manner that makes sense (i.e. a small steps forward sort of thing.) I reckon it'll be more of a scrappy win, a couple of strong performances, a freak result at one of the four remaining toughies, mixed with a few extremely shite performances.

I think it ultimately comes down to the fact that there are four or five teams around us who, for all their alleged "fighting quality" which we apparently don't have, are still far too shit to pull away from our own brand of shittiness. I suspect that even an underwhelming run of results could leave us with all to play for on the final day against Burnley.
