If this.
If that.

The only if I'm certain of is if we'd sacked Smith before Christmas we wouldn't be in this position.

Agree, the decision makers at the club don't do the obvious...

On the way home from the utter shambles that was Watford away, I was convinced Deano’s time was up. His post match interview was as bad as the performance, moaning about the ballboys taking time etc. It probably should have been the time, we had the January window just around the corner. Sliding doors moment.

How many points clear of them were we when they got in Pearson?

Understand we are in deep mire but I don't understand the meltdown on the forum tonight just because another struggling team won a match  which was bound to happen.

After beating Watford at home in January we needed three wins out of 14 remaining games.

Now we need three from five.

yep I remember saying 4 wins to a mate skipping out the ground. Seemed easy. The happiest bit since then was the prospect of null and void in March...

Conceding 2 goals against 10 men should have been curtains for him.

After Watford away, that was the moment. Plenty of us said it on here so no revisionism. Whole Jan window and the Winter break for search and getting to work. We’ll look back and say we blew it then.

lose against Man Utd and we're gone.
We have already gone.   Effectively 5 points from safety and cannot score goals.

Not quite, but I think we are on the brink.  The Palace game is the glimmer of hope at the moment.

Gone.

Missed our chance in January to get rid of our shit manager and buy someone who can score

Need 3 wins from 5 to have a decent chance of staying up I think, which seems like the same chance a snowball has in hell.

We’d probably need to win the last four. Love to know what odds you’d get on that.

How can you be certain of something that didn't even happen?
