This is the season...

[Phil from the upper holte]

I also refuse to believe we'll go down unless points dictate, bottom of table is tight. I also agree that to stay up we need to score and we don't look like doing it. I'd give kozak a go he can't do any worse.

Garde hasn't had much time really because of the international break. We are a Fucking shambles though I couldn't bear any more after the 2nd went in and I feel sorry for those who traveled

Whether we survive or not depends on how they handle today's beating. If our players can scrape the mental strength to treat today as some sort of closure we can do it. If they continue to be mentally weak we have to prepare for the Championship.

Well you saw the response after the Leicester fiasco....6 straight defeats.

The club in recent years has not responded well to bad defeats, it's often resulted in a downward spiral of form.

I have no confidence in the team, we are fucked.

£39 for the worst view I've ever experienced and that was before it became apparent Villa were there to make up the numbers. I'm actually fucking livid; the more I think about it the more it winds me up. No fight, no ideas, nothing.

I've sat in that lower tier at Everton the view is dog shit

[Des Little]

Let's not fool ourselves, folks. We are fucked.

It's been like Final Destination for years now. I just hope there is another sequel.

Not of the actual films. They're shit.

I can picture the scene.  Sometime in April they'll be a bloke on the Holte holding up a handwritten sign saying "We'll Be Back".  Just like Coventry.

And Leeds.

And Forest.

And Sheffield Wednesday.

And all the other clubs who regard themselves as being "top division" and have been out of it for years and years.

I think the reference to Sheffield Wednesday is the most appropriate. My old boss often told me of what happened when the club owner sold off virtually every player with any quality.

They went down and stayed down. Perhaps the only difference is that they went down with huge debts which led to a further relegation. Hopefully we won't have that complication.

I could get excited about the prospect of Remi Garde putting together a side capable of competing at the top end of the Championship but I know that sounds defeatist. In the long run though, I think we will be happier with that than we are now.

Unlike us, obviously 😭

Be interesting to attach a poll to this thread

[claret and blue blood]

Not looking good is it?

[The Laughing Policeman]

We need a turn round in form of Leicester proportions. This time last season they were bottom of the table and even with a dozen games left they looked doomed, but Pearson for all his faults found away for them to dig themselves out of the shit and they haven't looked back since. As has been said in the post match thread you look at the Leicester side and on paper they look like a bunch of misfits and cast-offs who shouldn't be doing as well as they are. But the one thing they seem to possess that we don't is spirit, they refuse to lie down and roll over the way we do.
Where we'll find that spirit or whatever it is they've got I'm buggered if I know.

[ez]

We're going. We don't have good enough players for the premier league. 10 defeats out of 13, it's not rocket science.

[DB]

Nothing less than 3 points next week and it's looking bad. A winnable game at home for the new manager...
