There's a lot of our own fans writing us off as if it's already over which i find very disappointing. The stats above prove that nothing is over until it's over. West Ham's position was as grim as it gets and yet they got out of it so why can't we?

I wish we were facing games against the top sides until the end of January when we have fresh faces in.

If we blow the next 4 games then that's it, what we do in January won't make a blind bit of difference.

But, get 9 points from those four games and we have momentum and belief on our side*

Great bit of research, AstonThriller!

* I'm clutching at straws.

The key is being within six or seven points of 17th by the time the window opens. Then we'll have a chance to add some quality and really make a push for things in the second half of the season. So while these next four games are important...the key is staying within touching distance until reinforcements arrive which remember should make us a stronger proposition moving forward.

While those in power at the club aren't treating this as a situation that we can get out of, what fucking chance do we stand? The only solution is serious protests.

Nothing I've seen suggests we'll get 4 points from 4 games let alone 9. There are no straws left to clutch and the fat lady his humming away, ready for her rendition of Rudolph the Fucking Useless Billionaire.

I'd love to be proved wrong... to have these words rammed down my throat by the players and manager, but, to be honest, I'm not even sure this set of players are capable of ramming scutters at Snobs let alone enough goals to get us 3 wins.

So basically you haven't read the evidence above where teams who were in worse positions than us have escaped? OK then Laughing

Surely protesting at this point is only going to aggravate the problem for the players. Shouldn't we be trying to inject a wave a positivity into the ground?

Its useless looking at how other teams have survived if the club itself have written us off.
