We are 100% going down

[klonk]

Lets face it last season under Ollie we were beyond bad and went from a team the club hoped would challenge for the play offs to one that only just survived. It was a reasonable assumption that under the same manager, who most clubs would have sacked, we would be awful.

Our squad is actually pretty decent. It was ok when Ollie came in, was strengthened in January, few new additions in summer and no significant departures. We should be expecting to challenge in top 10.

So far this season our home league form has been good. League Cup was poor beyond belief. Away form not picking up points.

Way too early to call how we will do. Could go either way. If we can keep home form (with any luck Millwall a blip) and start to grind points away could do well. If we continue struggling away and home form dips could end up uncomfortable again.

hmmmm... personally, i think that this is a slightly unusual way of looking at it. when ollie arrived, we were a team that was thought to be in with a shout of the play-offs? errr... by who, no one on here from what i can remember - we were 17th? the squad was strengthened the following january? you mean when most of our then-supposed best players (polter, chery and, er, the mighty sandro) left and only freeman and matt smith came in?

glad to hear that it's still way too early to call how we'll do... i guess that will only happen when we lose two games on the trot.

Don't count your smug blessings yet, happy clappers. We're only 7 points above the drop, and there's still 117 points to play for.

You do know that no matter how miserable and pessimistic someone is it doesn't change the outcome, don't you ?
Some go through life thinking the worst, some go through life a bit more upbeat.
We'll all keel over in the end but I'm fairly sure the upbeat ones will have had a slightly better time beforehand.

I was wondering who dregged up this thread,I should have guessed,you appear to have too much time on your hands,and just love stirring it up,good for you ,stanley "the king of stirring the s h i t ".

I appear to have touched a nerve once again Rebel. The thread is relatively recent and was only on page 2 (so I'd hardly describe it as "dredging up"), and I just happened to notice it whilst doing a spot of housekeeping.

And most importantly, my post bumping the thread was in fact a genuine question; but the fact that you cynically and mistakenly choose to disbelieve this is hardly surprising.

I know Stanley's only doing his job but FFS don't tempt fate.......

If everyone whose judgement turned out to be wrong was called there would be no room for anything else.

And he certainly does it well !!!

[Rebel R's]

Still 100%? Not even say 95%?

Number 3 has a higher meniscus, so it's number 1 for me :-)

Fixed that for you

And 1 point off the playoffs

You've got three choices ;)

Don't count your smug blessings yet, optimists. Us pessimists say we are only 7 points above the drop, and there's still 117 points to play for.

No one likes an I told you so merchant but fu€k me, anyone who starts a thread like this before a ball is even kicked should be made to walk around the pitch at half time with their trousers round their ankles and their thumb in their mouth, a la private Pyle in full metal jacket.

I'm certain Kayden Kross started the thread[/QUOTE]

Now that would be some serious half time entertainment.

96.5% I reckon...once the FA splits us into that mini league Rebel is chairman of then we will really start to get a clear picture.

The sooner we are split into our relegation mini league the better. That way we'll only be playing the other shite in the division and will have more chance of nicking the odd point ( undeservedly of course) which gives us a minuscule chance of staying up.
