so the other two (Forest and Wham) have done 3 wins in 12 matches? tbh that is borderline relegation form. We have been in definite nailed-on relegation form. Worst team in league in 26.

Burnley, WH and Forest have won one each in their last 6.
WH and Forest have drawn 3 each.
If they carry on like that, we could probably get away with 2 wins and a draw.
Obviously nothing we have done in the prior 15 games or so suggests we can do that.
However, on the flip side. Of our first 7 games we won 4 and drew 2. One of those wins was Leeds away. Drew Vs Wolves and Brighton. So there's hope we can pick up some points in the reverse fixtures.
Yes. There is no doubt that we have the most capable squad in the relegation fight, even with the current injury load. We therefore have to be optimistic!! COYS. CO RDZ!
We need some sensible coaching that the players buy into.
No reason that can't lead to 2 wins and draw. At least.
Tudor was a mess. He had no idea what he was doing and the out of position players caused chaos.
Hopefully De Zerbi keeps it totally sensible and plays players in their strongest positions and adapts his formation to make it happen.
I never really subscribed to the Forest game being as big as others did, although we definitely didnt want to lose it. This one though I have always thought is massive and especially now we have De Zerbi in. If we win it puts huge doubt in the minds of the other teams. They'll think, wait a minute, De Zerbi has sorted them out already. Win and it is a huge psychological advantage.
It will also have a hugely positive psychological boost fir the fanbase .
A win would have a greatly desired effect on my anxiety levels and I’m assuming everyone else’s.
all this. no returning player is going to help us at this point and until we show we are a functioning squad there's no reason to be hopeful. people thinking we're going to win two matches at this point are huffing glue. i think de zerbi is a good appointment long term but i'm not at all convinced he's the one to triage this squad to safety. i've got a decent payout on offer for my bet on us going down and i'm still not cashing out
Maybe it's just me but while I bet on a lot of football games, I never bet against the team I support.
i don't believe in magic thinking.
Yeah what sort of pussy can’t play through a smashed patella, a snapped tendon or a ruptured ACL?!
I get his general point, as opposed to specific players injuries. Flange used the return of players right about now as justification for non spend in January, and here we are.Yeah what sort of pussy can’t play through a smashed patella, a snapped tendon or a ruptured ACL?!

I already gave you the names of said pussies
That’s an issue with the twats running the club rather than the players.
He’s named individual players who the majority of have significant injuries with Deki’s potentially being career ending.
They’ve incurred these injuries playing for the club, is he really insinuating they shouldn’t be paid while injured?!
Brain dead post IMHO.
Bold players are probably lucky they have elite health care. Most of us could end up disabled with the injuries they have sustained.
Non bold players have sustained the sort of injuries that will literally prevent you from walking without serious pain for months.
But they're pussies.
Riiiiight.
Yeah what sort of pussy can’t play through a smashed patella, a snapped tendon or a ruptured ACL?!
And not only that , Angela from HR is furtively waiting in the wings with her clipboard simply drooling to get involved.
Stuff like that isn’t allowed anymore, apparently.
The specifics of naming people yes, the overall situation does need a much more direct calling out.
He’s not doing that though is he?! By his own admission!
The injury crisis needs a deep dive, whether that’s down to the tactics/over playing certain players, the medical team or the pitch etc. The clueless behaviour in the transfer window? Well we all know what should happen re the personnel in charge of recruitment don’t we?!
Whilst I may well agree with you ; Brian Clough and Bill Shankly have gone to a better place .
Things have to be done somewhat differently now ; for better or worse.
