    I try to be positive but as you say it is depressing watching the reds at the moment . I have had season ticket for years - might not bother next year - thats how bad its got

    Lose on Saturday and it’s 9 points adrift having played a game more, with 15 games remaining.

    Big game. Pivotal. Vital. Key. And other similar words.

    If you can read you will see I wasn’t calling for his head, just expressing concern about how we were playing at the time. And it’s not got any better has it.

    By the end of his tenure I was wanting him sacked, along with a large proportion of the fanbase. I can now say I was wrong & it’s come back to bite us on the arse. No shame in that.

    I haven’t even called for Clarkes head yet, lesson learnt maybe, as I feel it would be pointless & set us back even further.

    Just the 22 goals worse off than last season after 30.

    We'd need a consistent run of form similar to the Heckingbottom one post-LJ to trouble the play-offs from where we find ourselves and, even with the most rose-tinted specs I can find, I don't think we have a good enough Head Coach or a good enough squad to achieve that.

    In my opinion, I reckon its a case of Neerav Unfortunately being a tad naive, I'd say he's having his pants pulled down and his backside spanked by those he trusts to run things...

    Between 10 and 12 wins should give you a chance to get top six.

    I can’t see that from 16 games.

    But, as you point out, we’ve seen turnarounds before.

    The trouble with rose-tinted specs is that once you take them off, you can never find them again.

    Worth mentioning though, that the top two places were more or less spoken for before a ball was kicked, which is a measure of how tough it has become.

    Not just us towing this season. Posh in a relegation scrap, Huddersfield have probably ruined their chance of automatic, Bolton might not make the playoffs & Rovrum probably hoped to do better.

    Probably be even harder next season.
    The three teams coming down will be strong.

    And that’s without any clubs coming up with momentum and/or a bit of backing.

    That's staggering, I didn't realise it was so many just thought the goals had been more spread this season etc

    Think it’s the goal difference being referred to rather than total scored.
