In recent seasons we always start well, and start playing as a relegation candidate side in the latter stage of the season.

Fitness levels probably play a part in that, which Igor has spoken about.

Prioritisation on the EL last season and poor performances overall.

This group of players always react to managers, and quickly revert back to type which is absolute rubbish, but its not as if we were that good in the beginning of the season under Frank.

If we say it how it is, theres no way we are near the relegation zone if we didnt suffer so many injuries. Kudus, Maddison, Kulu and Bergvall would be a massive help and elevate us to higher positions.

It still does not excuse poor decisions and managerial incompetence, or the relative inertia of the winter window.
 
Palace (H) - lose
Liverpool (A) - lose
Forest (H) - draw
Sunderland (A) - lose
BHA (H) - draw
Wolves (A) - lose
Villa (A) - draw
Leeds (H) - draw
Chelsea (A) - lose
Everton (H) - win

I've got us on 7 points ... as optimistic as I can be. Typed "win" at the end, when I think "lose" is more likely!!!

Agreed. Though I refuse to believe the injuries are just bad luck. And again, that is on the club for not dealing with the issue.
 
Official attendance figures will start at the current number of season ticket holders, which is around 42,000. So with 3,000 away fans, plus the amount of members still buying tickets, I doubt attendances will drop below 52,000 even if all ST holders boycott.
Well, we used to post actual attendance and most clubs still do. Woolwich didn't used to incidentally, don't know if that has changed, it used to be a bit of running joke with football fans seeing 60k attendance with more than half the stadium empty.

Unless what we post has changed, it should be the number of people there. In fact we have a legal obligation with the police to record actual attendance so it would be a bit cheeky to post tickets sold instead of attendance but maybe we have sunk that low.
 
Was most seasons until recently AFAIK.

What season was this?

I must have blocked this from my memory unless it was quite recently?

I can’t remember them ever asking for the renewals deadline by March.

They would send renewals info out around March -but you always had more time before the actual deadline.

There's a bit of crossed wires here. I just meant that typically season ticket renewals were often prior to the end of the season.
Having looked back, they seem to bounce all over the place.
 
How much does it say about the Premier League that its 14th, 16th and 17th place teams are in the European knockout stages.
That the financial imbalance has utterly screwed up the sporting balance of world soccer. Its the only thing Levy was morally correct about. There needs to be a sporting cap rigorously imposed. And financial controls should be laws enforceable witb relegation.

I think that if there a limit on wages such as the proposed TBA scheme this would resolve many of the problems with competitiveness in English football but the traditional powers will never go for it, it will hurt their secure position at the top and their position relative to other clubs in Europe. But fans of a smaller club ought to be in favor of it, as should fans of our club which is run like a small one.
 
corse they will..

This relegation fight hasn't got worse yet. Im fully certain we will end up in the bottom 3 at some point over the next 10 games, but I believe we have just about enough to survive at the end of it.

So I would say prepare for this to get worse before it gets better.
There will be an understandable level of panic if Spam were to gain 3 points on us during this match week, but their current poor form is normal for them this year. Our current form is abnormally poor, we have not been this bad until just recently which to me says we can snap out of it. I don't think they have it in their locker, even as bad as we are they're just too bad.

Kulu and Madders were replaced with £110m of player, we 'beefed' up our midfield too so are numbers are higher.

It's incompetence from ownership, recruitment, coaching and culminated into this. I very much doubt even if we had those players we'd be great. They played a lot last season when we couldn't buy a win.
