If people wish to remain hopeful and/or optimistic that is entirely their prerogative. It does not mean they are deluded, just that they have a different mentality. Not even the most optimistic posters are saying they 'expect' us to survive, but that's not to say they're not hopeful of it or even believing we MAY still do it, based on our and our neighbouring team's run-in. There really is no right or wrong way to feel about it, it's just everyone's different.

I think the truth is many fans would rather come to terms with us already being down because they'd prefer not to experience any more mental anguish than we already have this season. If they can do that now then if by some miracle we manage to survive, psychologically that would be an incredible bonus, and worth all the humble pie in the world they'd then have to eat when coming back on here.
