    .... at the Beginning of November
    I have feared for it before Xmas but always thought there was still hope, but not this season
    I hope I am wrong but I can’t see any way to avoid it after today and the previous 10 games

    Relegation can be a difficult one to predict. You can be absolutely awful for the whole 9 months, barely win a game, get mullered time and time again, but somehow three teams conspire to be even worse.

    I think it's safe to say we would be hard pressed to find 3 worse this time around.

    Good to see you at half time mate by the way

    And you.

    I think you're right, I think we're probably relegated, it just seems too early to admit that. But struggling to see how we may win a game.

    This is a total and utter **** up by the board. We are so out of our depth that i cannot even see an experienced fire fighter of a coach rescuing us at this stage Murray has thrown in the towel & the board are silent. Bloody brilliant work.

    I was pretty sure after the Luton game. Certain now. 9 points in 16 games. Teams don’t recover from that.

    I feel exactly the same way and I am so angry because this is all self inflicted by our myopic, charlatan owners who have reduced us to championship no-hopers.

    Not this time Jay. There definitely isn’t three worse teams.

    There isn't one, never mind three. I was optimistic that we would beat Stoke, but that's gone now. We are the walking dead.

    I'm due a bonus from work this month and it's all going on that. Going to be utterly abject once we sell Woodrow in January

    No I was a kid in those days and much more optimistic then. In any case I just checked and even with only 2 points for a win after 16 games we had 11 points (14 in today’s money ) and were 4th bottom. So not certainly down at this stage
