Yeah, I sort of made peace with it yesterday. There are no more straws to clutch baring the Kudus one but lets face it, his return won't change the tide.

Yeah have kinda resigned myself to the fact that we will go down ,yesterday went far worse than I thought ,I even thought by the law of averages we would surely win one match from the last few and I don't count the dead rubber the other night but of course we couldn't. If we do win a game its going to be a bit of a shock at this stage so all We can do is hope while there is still time to survive for the moment.
Guarantee we get Lincoln at home as our opening fixture and guess what. I guarentee we lose.
Team for that game
GK - Kinsky
RB - Walker Peters (8m from West Ham where he is not first choice)
CB - Ashley Phillips / Byfield
CB - Ben Davies (c)
LB - Souza
RM - We could probably get Harvey Elliot on loan from the bind dippers for a season with an option to buy if we get promoted
CM - Olusesi
CM - Devine or Hall
LM - Solomon or Yang
AM - Moore or LWB with Moore playing LM
FW - Lankshear

Really odd thing about yesterday is it has taken a lot of my nervousness away. I was bricking the Forest game thinking we still had a chance, but that was shocking even by our standards.
It all just seems inevitable now, with much of my attention towards a cleanout of the club from top to bottom. Give me enthusiastic players over this lot in the Champo any day of the week.

Defeatist above, although understandable.
3 Weeks away from the sh!t.
Long way to go.

As awful as last season was, what I wouldn't give for 11 league wins now.
I think that even after a fire sale we will keep a couple more than that but we are going to see a lot of youngsters and we will buy a couple of seasoned Championship players.
Realistically, we don't need any wins, we just need to match West Ham's results. Also realistically we won't be able to do that because unlike us, West Ham have actually won some fucking league games this year and they probably win at least one more. So yeah unless West Ham magically turn to shit or Nuno makes us proud, we're relegated.
Imagine the players will be very "happy" though, they have written their names in the history of this football club by winning Europa League and then being the same bunch of fuckers who relegated us the next season. Fucking embarrassing.
The problem is that even if the fixture list was reversed I’d back West Ham to still pickup much more points than us.

The crazy thing about this?
1. Absolutely correct.
2. Has to be done again for every home game of the season.
Even if we’d won the game, you don’t fight a relegation battle in one game. The mistake Spurs fans are making is that we won’t be in this fight until the end of the season.
By match day 28 we had 34 points and were 17 points off the relegation zone. Had a plus 14 GD.
Essentially we were safe.
Chalk and cheese to this season.
Nah. English fans don’t get it.
Boca Juniors fans do this every day just for the milkman delivering his milk to the stadium!!
(Maybe)
Problem is ... This absolute TERROR at the prospect of going down is a self inflicted prophecy ...
It's the likes of SKY and the BIG 6 (which we're clearly not welcome to be part of) and the National obsession with the Champions League that means the mere idea of NOT being in the CL, the PL, the BIG SIX is unimaginable....
But it's not ..
There are 88 CLUBS not in the CL each season...
72 other teams NOT in the PL... Every year!
It's NOT the end of the world .. it really isn't!
.the worst that happens is the club, and by virtue of that ENIC lose a SHIT LOAD of money....
That's gonna hurt them as much as relegation will us....
Except, WE can bounce back as a Fanbase, regardless of the Division we're in... We did it in '76.... and we're still here!
ENIC will potentially lose that money and NEVER get it back... GOOD!

Palace and Forest were both must wins. At worst. Don’t lose.
We have properly put ourselves into the shit.
Wait to see who our next manager is I guess.
Fun times!!
- We had one more day of rest than them, and they had to play extra time in their midweek match
- We were playing at home
- We had many of our injured / suspended players back available
- We played in a game that we couldn’t afford to lose, yet we did and by an emphatic scoreline.
- we had a huge number of supporters welcoming them at the stadium
The owners and board are to be blamed long term, but today Tudor has to be partly blamed for his starting 11 and subs.
But the players have to bear the biggest responsibility for today’s loss. We were chasing the game yet there was no urgency from some of the players - jogging around or taking their time for throw-ins and free kicks.
Barring a few, most of the players have checked out and waiting to leave the club in the summer. Tudor, or whoever replaces him for our remaining games, should give some playing time to our youth players - at least, they might put in more effect.
A few weeks ago, despite our poor results, I was confident that we wouldn’t be relegated. Now, I’m not so sure anymore although, as ever the optimist, I still have hope but it’s diminishing fast.

Johnson will be exempt.
Good post.
It’s either that or cont give up on them and maybe that eases the pressure
