Yup, half the squad will get sold and not be adequately replaced. The other half will down tools until they get their moves in January or the following summer.

I told everyone I went game by game with the players availbe currently and could plausibly find one point. Thats why I'll be shocked if we stay up.
Not sure where you get that confidence from. We aren’t doomed but we are in a hell of a fight.
This was one of 5-6 games somewhat winnable left, and we got zero out of it.
We have the worst form over the last 10 in the league.
Our coach is playing strange formations and seems to think Gray can play LB better than Porro.
We are fucked.
We are playing Russian roulette with Forest for survival.
I think they will want it more.
We've scored more than West ham and they concede at a significantly higher rate than us.
Again, I’m not trying to paper over our cracks but this whole idea that West Ham are some super team that’s going to run through their remaining fixtures is completely off base.
We’re all understandably fucked off with the form we’re in but West Ham’s reality is much different than what’s being proposed here.
Players have normalised low standards within themselves.
Not even Igor can change their mentality fast enough, but the players can blame only themselves if they cannot beat the likes of Palace, Forest, Wolves, Leeds and Everton.

West Ham have got the tools and the experience to get out of this.
Spurs are a fucking shambles.
Once West Ham go ahead of Spurs; we will not catch them.
It's Spurs or Forest.
Playing one player out of position is better than two.
It would be better to play Souza at LB than shoehorn someone else in.
I think Porro being the natural fullback should be switching to the other side. Gray is a more natural RB. But with no width this formation is simply not going to work. A diamond CM with inverted fullbacks and warming up as a back three as some kind of feint? I just don't see how that is a viable formation in this Premiership.
Where are these 10 points coming from?
I don't see where a solitary point comes for us though. It's very, very bad.
Playing Porro on the left would be utterly pointless. His right foot is the only creative weapon we have and it would be completely nullified if he were on the left.
Playing Porro on the left with anyone else at RB that isn’t a RB unbalances both positions.
It makes no fucking sense.
Playing Porro left and Spence right, I’d give you. But when the only available player for that position is for, you play him where he’s best suited.
We just can’t win a league game.
Your opinion. He could still be massively useful curling inswingers into the box from the left. It's not like he even gets to the endline anyways. Inswingers are probably more useful anyways since the keeper is catching most of his right-to-left curling strays that curl too late and too close to the keeper.
We will finish on 34 points and go down.
Fulham are on a decent run and playing confidently.
What did you realistically expect us to do? Serious question.
Players being inverted is a fucking sin in the current era.
And nobody gets in the box early to benefit from crosses.
Souza seems to have a bit about him, I'd be inclined to give him a start against Palace to see what he can do.
