Almost one month ago... Ugh...
They've given us these chances for the game tomorrow, not sure I'm that confident
We've shifted down to 3/1 after that result with the bookies. Forest are now favorites to go down 11/10, West Ham 6/5.
Our best AM is Mickey VDV. Desperate times and all.
The glimmer of hope I'm clinging to is that there is a considerable break after we play forest on the 22nd, which gives us time to hopefully get most if not all of Kudus, Bergvall, Udogie and Spence back fit, Richy being back at least provides us with a somewhat more consistent source of goals up front and Kudus being back will help us massively in terms of giving the midfield an out ball and making it stick in the final third of the pitch.
I do fear Gallagher is gonna be an albatross around our neck though tbh, we need wins and our most obvious midfield imo when those are back is probably a MF3 of palhinha and Berg with Simons in front but suspect we will see some utterly shite midfield combos with xavi stuck left because you can't bench a 200k a week player after 2 months because it was a mistake to buy him in the first place.

After tonight I think we're done. There is nothing about any of our players that say to me they have the necessary fight to get us out of this situation unlike the teams we're vying with.
We've been the worst team in the league all year and the relegation candidates have made up a lot of points on us already.
The momentum is so firmly against us I can't see anything turning it around.
It's going to be fucking miserable not being a premier league club but I'm hoping that feeling will wear off once we're a few games into the championship season and I can just finally enjoy watching us play again.

Between match weeks 9 and 26 (His final game) he had us in 18th spot and was steering the ship towards the bottom rather than the top.
He wasn’t the only thing wrong with the club.
But he was struggling to keep pace with Forest and West Ham. Which is a pretty clear indication he was failing.
Don’t think there’s anything to see, as we can’t test your hypothesis. To be fair to Frank, the squad situation and injuries were horrendous, but there was also nothing from Frank that suggested he had the nous and motivational effectiveness needed to get what’s left of the squad clicking. The results really were atrocious.
He’ll be sacked during the IB
I'm absolutely hoping we lose to Atleti. A very needless distraction.
I don't think you get how much momentum matters in a relegation fight. The idea that throwing one competition helps you focus on another is a myth mostly.
How many games did we win after a CL win this season? And what happens if one of our better players gets an injury that keeps them out of the running?
I'll tell you the answer to the first question, we won a whopping 1 game after the 5 victories. 20%.
Tell me again about momentum.
I mean that's one of the takes of all time.
Obviously with every bad result the predecessor looks a teeeny bit better but Frank literally had us on 2 league wins in 17 and we looked utterly fucked under him.
Even if we do go down I don't think "I told you all! We should've kept Frank!" is gonna be the gotcha you think it is.
If anything it implies we needed to get rid of Frank sooner to stop the rot.
Everyone employed by the club should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for what they are doing to our football club.
Us supporters have been with them throughout and it's disgusting to see. Shame on each an every one of them.

If the club gave any kind of a fuck about us staying up they'd make the tickets £20 each to ensure a full house to give us an edge of any kind.
......... they won't
Frank is a football terrorist. He sucked the life out of the players, too many windmills, supertankers, long throws and obsessing over the opposition.
In fact he'd be like a cheerleader for the opposition all the while pissing on us, yet gaslighting and saying how hard we were working and lots of positives here.
He should be arrested along with ENIC, Vinai and Lange.
I have never hated a manager more than Frank.
Under him we've been firmly planted in this relegation 'fight'. Hopefully Tudor can repot us and provide some nutrients, but his job is beyond huge, it's going to be a miracle given the state of what he has walked into.
