IFHP Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Me too which is depressing Yep agree 100%. Shows how much the club has ****ed up when 17th place is seen as "success" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Yes, unfortunately. I hate to say it having paid for a season ticket to enjoy the season but we've been so **** that our only focus now should be survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian lord Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Yes because there's no hope of Europe and we will do well to stay up at this rate. We are all Daleks now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Without a doubt but I'm not sure how the hell we are getting the points to achieve that - we need to beat one or two of the big teams at home - Liverpool would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanimal Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 As I have said before we need another 19 points - 5 wins and 4 draws; and I had started with Huddersfield! Its going to be close….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 What about 8th and a cup final? I see what you've done there Truth is, he wasn't right for us, the football was turgid and I'd suggest the current malaise set in last season, as did the trend of our coaching making players worse. The real issue is not why we got rid of cp, it's why we've ended up with mope. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubby Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Yes, because we're paying so badly, self-belief seems to have drained away, and several players are giving significantly less than 100% at the moment. But I believe we have a squad that's good enough to be solid mid-table if they were led, coached and motivated well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARCELONASAINT Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 I would snap your hand off right now for 17th because i honestly believe we are going down. This manager is not going to be replaced, the team are not playing for him and have no confidence and we will struggle to attract very decent players as they will see relegation staring them in the face.......17th, yes please!!!!
