We're just under a point a game.

Yes, of course, over the whole season that's true - I meant in the form table over the last 6/8/10 games, where the teams around us are doing worse than us.  I was merely pointing out, that our current form, disappointing as it is, could be enough to keep us up - but I don't want that to be something we rely on.

We have been extremely fortunate with other results around us, and this time of year we can expect a few results that no one saw coming...I only hope that it's us getting them, for the right reasons.

We’re in massive trouble. Today was an utter embarrassment. There’s just no planning or anything.

I am more annoyed than I was in 2016.

The ingredients were there this time but the Board are too loyal to the manager.

Numb more than worried. I think I passed the worried stage weeks/months ago.

Smith doesn't look that bothered. He's a lucky man. I do hope he manages to keep us up, but even if he does, the owners won't be keeping him on, I don't reckon.

To me we've learnt nothing from the 2015 summer window.

People always seem to get excited when we spunk 100m on unknown players from abroad or the lower leagues but you need experience to balance things out.

Likes of Luiz and AEG have talent but they simply can't perform to a consistant level in this league week in week out.

Why we overlooked steady eddie types like Gary Cahill in the summer is beyond me. So what if they have no resale value due to age.

Any club needs a short term and long term strategy. We seem permanetly locked on the long term project which never arrives under many different personnel at the top making decisions.

Is there anyone left who is not even slightly concerned?

Spot on. They’ll rue their misplaced loyalty. How they ever got to be billionaires I’ll never know.

'Fun' fact. Our last 73 Premier League games has seen us concede 146 goals and score 73.

Don't really follow American sports but apparently Wes has no issue firing managers from there.

Ultimately we had a choice in December and chose to back him so really can't see him getting sacked anytime soon.

The title of this thread should be changed to ‘Anyone Starting to Become Resigned to the Inevitable?’

I can’t see how we are going to get enough points. Each defeat is another blow to confidence. The only bit of hope is that other teams look as bad as us, West Ham, Watford.

State of what? This thread? Or the messages? I’m pissed off & very worried & can’t disagree with what’s been said. Dean looks lost, I have no idea where the next win is. I hope Sunday & we get enough points, or other teams don’t to stay up but.....
