We will be lucky to get to the West Ham game with something to play for.

Agreed. I'd take that if offered right now.

The way it is at the moment we will probably be relegated without taking anymore points, but go down on goal difference.

The lack of crowds shows what a huge leveller fans can be for the weaker sides. Yes we are all poor, but 3 points from the bottom 5 so far and we account for 2 of them.

Everyone else is losing by more goals that us, so maybe that’s the plan behind tightening up the defence - we can 0-1 our way to safety!

It's  lack of spirit and willingness to " bust a gut" for the club from the manager and players that is so galling.
Just fucking give it a go

It's so frustrating, because as little as two wins could keep us up, yet who can see us doing that? This whole relegation battle is akin to the obstacle race on It's a Knockout.

Blimey, are people trying to outdo each other to sound as depressed as possible? I thought 'hello darkness, my old friend' earlier was over the top and the post about lifeless carcasses. It's all a bit much.

The good thing is that the race to stay up is a bit like that scene in Wolf of Wall Street where Di Caprio's character is off his tits on Quaaludes, crawling back to his Lambo, unable to walk or talk. That's us, Bournemouth, West Ham and Watford.

So if we are to survive, we probably need to learn how tocrawl on our hands and knees, rather than amble or even shuffle. So that's a positive.

I thought of that scene when I remembered being pushed upstairs to bed one night.

The absolute critical games to watch now are the Crystal Palace game and the Everton game, we need to win one of those, that then allows other teams around us to get a result from there games, but still keeps us in there, it all then comes down to West Ham Utd, that tight.

I thought Blose were the knuckle-draggers, not us.

I don't think that's a very good analogy.  We're sprinting like Usain Bolt back to the clapped out, T reg Marina that is the Championship.

At the moment that outrageous decision at Selhurst Park is the difference between us being in the relegation zone and being above it.

And if we hadnt scored that last minute goal against Brighton at home, that perfectly good goal we had disallowed in the first half would have made us even worse off.
