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

Longest league run without winning
14 - 14/08/2015-and counting
13 - 24/03/2012-02/09/2012
12 - 13/12/2014-28/02/2015
12 - 27/12/1986-25/03/1987
12 - 10/11/1973-02/02/1974
11 - 19/11/2006-13/01/2007
11 - 28/03/1967-23/08/1967
11 - 23/03/1963-04/05/1963
11 - 29/08/1955-22/10/1955

So the 3 worst runs in our history have all been achieved during fuckwit Lerners regime. What a failure of a chairman. Can we have an update from him or his half wit Fox on how the search for a new chairman is going or is it bollocks as well? I think we know the answer.

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' a 50% win rate and 1.5 points per game, not impossible but highly unlikely. 34 points taken from the last 49 games

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.

definately 5pm on new years wil be key for me, all of the teams around us will have been played and lets hope we have more than 12 points

im hoping that veretout keeps improving and that adama starts through the middle

like you say its the hope...

Yep.  The next three were all under Doug.  So there it is: the unequivocal evidence that Randy is the worse Chairman in our history.

We just need a little run, a couple of wins in a row by hook or by crook but we've only won 2 in a row 7 times in 4 and a half years.

This time 12 months ago, Leicester were the worst team in the league (even us at our shambolic best managed to beat them, twice), full of players that looked out of their depth.

Pretty much the same players are now sitting top of the league.

It can the done. Often in this league, confidence is the difference between being useless or being much sought after.

We're bottom of the league, a complete shambles and this piece of juvenile crap is the best they can do, says it all really.

Lose to Newcastle in two weeks and I think we're gone. They would be 10+ points ahead of us as we'll lose to Arsenal next week.

Bournemouth and Newcastle results do not change anything for us. We are too far behind  teams fighting relegation. Teams fighting to survive are usually a point or two less than number of games they have played. Bournemouth, Sunderland, Newcastle, Norwich and Swansea are all in that mix. Our first task is to haul ourselves up and get  into that mix and then we may have a chance.

Our trouble is we're relying on three of four teams to slip up, rather than just one. They're not all going to lose every week, and one or two will pull off shock wins like yesterday and today. Oh and the fact we couldn't beat an egg is also causing quite a bit of trouble.

Truth is though there's no point hoping for other teams to lose because we can't win a game ourselves. If we were winning and they were all winning we could bemoan our luck, but we've picked up 6 points from 15 games. We don't deserve any luck.

From February 2014:

I don't think it is a certainty, yet, but I do fear for next season unless something changes drastically. Championship players on a Championship budget will eventually end up where it belongs.
