    I know I am.
    Are you resigned to relegation???
    We will not win another game if Morais keeps the same 433 formation.
    If he doesn’t change it we are down.

    Insanity - doing the same thing over and over - and expecting a different result.
    :-( :-( :-(

    Hoping if he’s as good a coach as he’s supposed to be , that he learns his lesson and adapts the team to play either 4/4/2 or with mcburnie in the box

    We will go down of that there is no doubt.
    The manager has a arrogance that belies his extremely poor managerial record.
    Its the owners to blame to think that working with Mourhino would instantly bring success, which shows how naive they really are in understanding Championship football

    After watching the Millwall farce I hate to admit that I've given up hope, however if Jose learns from it and adapts the formation and tactics then we can get out of this mess. If he doesn't then I certain that we will be relegated.

    I am, because we can't score more than once in a game, make stupid defensive errors most games and seemingly can't beat anyone that isn't Birmingham or Sunderland.

    But I'll be absolutely delighted to be proved wrong.

    Not as nailed on as 2014 but it certainly wouldn't be a surprise.

    Nailed on. But the worst of it is it is self-inflicted.

    If he carries on playing his most likely scorer on the wing, we'll deserve to go down.

    I don’t want to accept it, but our results have been rubbish all season & now performances match this too.
    Can’t keep clean sheets & don’t score enough goals.
    Agree with some of the above that the 4-3-3 that was supposed to give us so many more options is now our Achilles heel.
    Rethink needed & he has 12 days to implement it.
    Fingers crossed but I’m not holding mi breath, think he’s one dimensional & it will be his & ultimately our, downfall.

    That display on Saturday had the stench of relegation about it. Confidence well and truly shot.

    It reminded of the dead fish eyes comment from Patrick Cryne, but there were a lot of journeymen in that team who didn't care. I'm hoping the youthful exuberance in this team, coupled with mcburnie playing centrally and a return for Hammill will see us over the line.

    I don't know what to think.If we continue and play as we did against Millwall we will go down without another point.If we could just get a confidence boosting win, a couple of goals and a clean sheet that might spur us on.As for the formation it didn't work on Saturday because nobody played well.Prior to this McBurnie who plays left of a 3 had scored all his goals in the 6 yard box.He doesn't play on the left wing although it appeared so on Saturday because of such a poor team display.

    Nudger as for "insanity doing the same thing" well P.H kept playing 442 and where was that taking us?

    442? Hecky played one up top most of the season. Mainly due to the fact we had no other options.

    I agree. It boils down to a very large degree to how good our boss is. It could go either way.

    Either he learns fast what setup is likely to give us our best shot and adapts accordingly and we might have a chance but if we fail we failed trying and we go down reasonably enthused by the managers skills and our chances of bouncing back quickly.

    Or he doesn't. And we struggle to find another point and go down without so much as a whimper. And we go into the summer convinced that we were sold a dud with the boss and things look bleak as sh.it.

    My guess is that we will go down and the scenario will be somewhere in the middle of the 2 extremes above, but closer to (b) than (a). I think we will be lucky to reach 40 and whether that is enough basically depends on the others. I fear it won't be. Sure as sh.it that it doesn't deserve to be.

    I don’t think we have either a good enough team or the right Head Coach so yes I am resigned.

    After Saturdays performance and the fact we only picked up 1 point from the last 4 games I think we are going down
    we have a relegation feel about us

    But I we arent down yet, not even in the relegation places - if we can scrape a couple of wins - like Hull did - then we could still survive
    not betting on it though
