This is the season...

[CJ]

My feelings about getting relegated over the last five seasons have been like the stages of grief - 2011/12 I was in denial that we were so bad to finish 16th; 2012/13 I was really angry that we'd made no improvements and finished 15th; 2013/14 I bargained that I'd take being knocked out of cup competitions by lower league sides if we climbed up the league - 15th; 2014/15 it was just endlessly depressing except for the blip delivered by Sherwood; this season I've got to acceptance of the fact that we're down, and I just want to get the season out the way so we can start from scratch next year.  Hope I'm wrong but just can't see a way out of it now, especially after losing to Watford last week

Need minimum of 30 points to stay up, not a hope in hell with this squad. Can't keep clean sheets, can't score goals etc etc.

[Legion]

We scored one today.

[SoccerHQ]

O.k I'll paraphrase... we can't score enough goals to win games.

Anyway look on the bright side....the championship must be a woeful league if Rudy f***ing Gestede can score 20 + goals down there in a season.

[Legion]

Horse!

Bournemouth. ...

[Rudy65]

I don't know why, because every time I've seen us this season we've been awful, but I still think that we could get out of this. There are obvious problems with the squad, but enough talent to be doing better than we are.

Completely get why some fans think we have no chance, but I have visions of one win sparking a run - is that completely insane?

And I've been getting stick from a Cov fan at work saying we'll be in the same league next season...

Enough talent. ... I just dont see talent or endeavour. Bournemouth just deservedly beat Chelsea. Something we couldnt do

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Surely a point at Southampton today when most of would say most likely outcome was another defeat can give us some small glimmer of hope ?
My straw is ever so slightly more clutchable this evening than it was this morning. 

[MorrisNielson]

Just though I’d pop in to depress you all again.
Really wanted us to win today. Another record surpassed….

We gone. I am looking forward to some wins next season. Shame we have such a horrific ride from now to May to get there.

If I'm walking back to the car after the West Ham game still waiting for the 2nd league win of the campaign then I think this will most definately be the season, we need wins and fast to stay in touch and have a shot at survival.

forget talk of the transfer window, the next ten games, so and so coming back/coming good

our survival depends on the four games after arsenal. anything less than 6 points and we are down no question. above 6 and we have a fighting chance albeit a small one.

I agree, 6 points from next 5 games minimum giving us 12 points after 20 matches, that would give us a glimmer of hope.

even then we still need 26 points from 18 games so literally 9 wins and a 50% win rate and 1.5 points per game, not impossible but highly unlikely. 34 points taken from the last 49 games or 0.7 per game

I probably like you know were done but after every fixture is ticked off as we get nearer to halfway you cannot help but  work out a new points scenario and dream of a mini run of wins, its the hope that kills you.
