We are f*cked! Another 2 losses pending and quite likely that we won't score in either, will just result in an unbalanced team's confidence being shot to pieces!

We have circa 4 -5 first team players who could walk into another Premiership team ... and there lies the problem! Considering it's our 5th season in the Prem that's appalling. We haven't been able to build year on year, due to continued management changes and now we're paying the price. It's been a steep learning curve for us but our luck will finally run out this season IMO!

Roll on Millwall away next season! Kinda looking forward to it!

We have been in bad situations yes ... but I can't ever remember us not being able to put the football in the back of the net. The whole concept of winning a game depends on that.

I seem to remember a season where we didn't score for 9 games on the spin, possibly 1994-95 ? A fair few draws in there but needless to say we were the lowest scorers that season and were relegated, fourth from bottom due to the division being shrunk !!

Last year we lost away against Mcity ManU , Home to CFC

Lost at home to Swansea, Replace Sunderland with Huddersfield.

So potentially we are Six points adrift of last season with the Lpool and Southampton loses.

Plenty of time to make up the points and with 2 tough games ahead a real chance for Roy to sort the men from the boys.

Keep the faith peeps.

This is exactly my take on the situation. After Chelsea we are likely to be 6 points adrift of how we were after the corresponding games last season. Then, out of the remaining matches, we had two unexpected results – Arsenal at home and Chelsea away. Assuming we lose those two this time round, that would put us 12 points adrift. So to break even we need to gain 12 more points than we did in the corresponding games last season.

Can we do it? Well we had some disappointing results last season – home matches against West Ham, Everton, Bournemouth, Burnley, Leicester, West Brom and away at Swansea, West Ham, Watford and Stoke. If we could win all of those this time, even though we rarely beat Everton at Selhurst and Leicester anywhere, we would gain another 27 points and that would still allow us to suffer our traditional defeats at home to Spurs, Man City, Man Utd and Liverpool and away at Spurs, Arsenal, Southampton and Leicester.

Ever the optimist.

Looking back our season was defined when BFS decided he would rather walk the dogs than be our manager . The poor appointment of FDB and now another complete change in direction with Roy has put our premier league status in peril . The next month will be his pre season and we can only then hope he has instilled some fight in the team so at least we can go down with our heads high next May .

Me , Ive started laughing , laughing at the sheer incompetence of the whole sorry story .

Precisely, there are too many on here that seemed to have pissed their knickers and got themselves into a bit of a state. We've been in much worse situations than this before.

Although at this stage of the season, no club in the history of English football has ever been in this position
