If the season ended now we'd stay up. How the fuck does that make relegation a formality?

Well the season isnt over yet and im sure this wont be the last painful shitty defeat

Its days like today where teams go on and get releagted. Absolute disaster today. Fucking disaster


No over-reaction there at all.

Ok so everything's fine. We just carry on losing games from a winning position and make stupid league two defensive mistakes like all season.  But year over reaction!

You make a fair point. However we are still in with a chance of staying up, but I understand your frustration


It was a fucking disaster. You cant continually drop points like we are and expect to stay ul. Thats the facts. This teqms had lkng enough to gel and its not gelled.

The summer recruitment for me has been generally poor..hause wesley jota el ghaz  engels and trez have generally been poor to shit. Thats close to 50m wasted

I'm worried because of our remaining fixtures, our defensive vulnerability, our habit of throwing away points, the quality of some of our players, and my concerns about the manager.

We have a chance but fir its a very slight chance as our home games are against the better sides which we are absolutely hopeless against.

Im not sure if its a mentality thing but jesus they really do shit themselves against the better sides

Yes Demitri, there has been some poor players who have come in. I get what you are saying, you are correct. But, but we might do i. I’m not a happy clapper, I have moaned about Dean, players etc and today was hard to take as we don’t have any easy games left, we messed most of them up.

Yeah. I know i am coming across reallg negative today but im so disappointed today. I trevelled up to brum for the weekend as i dont live here. Despite it being terrible weather i came and that was really hard to take as we have seen it so many times. Punished for sloppy league one defending.

We are not getting any better and its really alarming for me. I dont expect us to be world beaters but for 150m i expecf a team that can defend half decent in periods of the season and some passion.

Dont see any of that. Take trez for example luiz was through and instead of putting to hkm he tries to be a intergalactic hero and wastes a golden opportunity. The team doesnt seem like a team for periods of the season.

Think the scouting was really poor.

You are repetetive as fuck.

Completely agree well said 👏

Yeah my comment was out of order and said in the heat of the moment, for that I apologize.

The over the top hyperbolic nature of certain posters in each and every thread after todays game is very tedious to read though.

Agreed that we are not very good. We are not even good. However to avoid relegation you don’t have to be very good, good or even bad. You just have to be not very very bad. We are just that. So we are not nailed on for relegation never have been and never will be till the last game is played. Despite losing two more crucial games we are still not in relegation position. Just need to keep going and picking up points like we have been doing and we will see come the day.

At times today we weren’t good or even very good...we were excellent. We absolutely dominated Spurs for the first half hour and should have been 2 or 3 up. Unfortunately we do have a flip side to the excellent coin, and that borders on utter shite to sheer incompetence. We’re so consistently inconsistent even during a 90+ minute game.

I'd go so far as to say we're pretty good in patches - but those patches rarely last entire matches, or multiple matches. 

When we went down in 2016, we rarely looked like a decent side, and although we've struggled, and lost late goals against a lot of sides, we've looked like we could compete and event beat some of the top teams.  I've said previously, but we were within a few minutes of beating Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool this season.  Those were games where we got zero points, but we're not a million miles away from winning a few games like those, and games like today.  It always feels worse losing so late.  Imagine how the Watford fans felt a couple of weeks ago.

Sheff Utd, who everyone agrees are having a brilliant season, have only won 3 more than we have.  The big difference is draws, which we simply can't hold on to for some reason.

I still think we'll be OK, and we'll be a much better side next season with the younger players having had a year's experience and two or three quality additions.

As amfy said a few weeks ago, we'd settle for seventeenth and this is what seventeenth looks like.

Good post Smithy .......I wished I shared your optimism :)
I think we have been far too naive in games against the likes of Tottenham and Liverpool et al ......a bit of professionalism is called for to see games out.....I would have thought John Terry would have drummed that into the players
