That perfectly sums it up for me. Even if we win or draw it's largely by fortune or a great goalkeeping display. There is nothing to suggest we could be successful for a run of games.

Very good article, how telling that you were able to write most of it in advance. Just need to delete a certain song from my mental jukebox now.

I think you've caught the pervading mood there well Dave. How long can this sad state of affairs possibly go on? What would happen if we did get relegated? Worrying times indeed.

Nice HMHB reference.

I spotted an Abba reference, but not the HMHB one - was that actually a reference to Abba, too?

A really balanced article because it doesn't slag anyone off and doesn't make it sound like we're asking for anything more than should be expected.
