Dalek2003 Posted 26 August, 2018 Posted 26 August, 2018 Brighton (a) - Cup Palace (a) Brighton (h) Liverpool (a) Wolves (a) Bottom of the league by then. terrible We are 17th at the moment...seems to be our level.
Nordic Saint Posted 26 August, 2018 Posted 26 August, 2018 We are 17th at the moment...seems to be our level. We are one of the bookies' four favourites for relegation this season, along with Burnley, Cardiff and Huddersfield, so 17th would be the dream. We are back to underachieving alongside clubs with much smaller fanbases than ours. For a club of our size I think only Birmingham City can rival our history of underachievement so most of our fans have very low expectations anyway and expect next to nothing. We are, in fact, the ideal club for lazy, unambitious owners, directors, managers, coaches and players, which is perhaps why we accumulate so many of them.

You do know the bookies adjust their odds every day?Watford were shorter odds than us to go down. So were Brighton. We are one of group that can easily go down which reflects the reality.

Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk I think it is getting worse with how many feeble supporters we have. I don’t know what possible joy they ever get from football as their world caves in after a home game we should have won.

I don’t know what possible joy they ever get from football as their world caves in after a home game we should have won.I actually wonder if some have ever been to a game, but perhaps that's me just being taken in by good trolling. 3 games in and we've made a crap start, no mistake, but is that really the time to start the "sack everybody" threads. I wonder how some of today's supporters would've coped in the 70s or 80s, when this was pretty much the norm. Time to hit the eject button, only another 35 games to go...!

Topcat Posted 27 August, 2018 Posted 27 August, 2018 (edited) Looking at us 4th from bottom. 2 of the 3 teams below us have played "top 6" sides in 2 of their 3 games. So no surprise for their position. The other team below us is Burnley who are also losing to teams below the usual top 6 sides. Apart from us that is and against us they achieved a draw at our home ground. Our form is probably the worst in the Premiership compared to Burnley who are playing extra games each week. Also Newcastle equal on one point with us, have played 2 of their 3 games against "top 6" sides. Edited 27 August, 2018 by Topcat

Before we were relegated in 2005 we had a 26 year run in the top league. We are also 17th in the all time league. Not bad for a 'small' club. Our ambition to 'stay up' without bankrupting the club is about right. We are self sufficient and we are not being bankrolled like some clubs. As long as we stay up we will have achieved our ambitions and objectives and I for one are happy with that!
Micky Posted 27 August, 2018 Posted 27 August, 2018 Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser. This club has to many content losers So during the seasons that we were always winning what were we then. I take it there is no chance the pendulum will swing again? Nobody is content to lose, but you do seem to revel in it when we do. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Tasty.

whelk Posted 2 September, 2018 Posted 2 September, 2018 Tick...tick... Haven’t gone back through thread but I thought we’d win at Palace too.
Topcat Posted 2 September, 2018 Posted 2 September, 2018 Palace win very useful and takes the pressure off for at least 3 weeks.
Neil Posted 2 September, 2018 Posted 2 September, 2018 A win against Brighton will alleviate the pressure. If we mess up another home game then the pressure could easily build back up again, with two tough away games to come.
Pamplemousse Posted 23 September, 2018 Posted 23 September, 2018 We will beat Palace next week. Scrappy 1-0. See a draw against Brighton, Nothing expected at Liverpool. Will have to see more of Wolves but not confident of anything. Most accurate prediction so far...
