The Relegation Thread

Southampton look certs to go down too.

Villa are going down too IMO.

[Captain Stu]

I think Southampton could get out of it but Villa looked doomed, they have so little quality.

Pissing hell Bender. Sort yourself out.

[Gingawaria]

We won't go down but I do see Bender's point...at the moment, we're playing fairly well but not picking up the points our play deserves. If we don't turn that around quickly, the players confidence will definitely be affected and we could be in trouble.

[RichC]

do you? 7 games when we're rebuilding maybe CL is out of the picture at the moment but relegation fodder

[Fredo]

Hang on. We've been relegated last year, back up this year and top of the league. Bender is just late again.

Woooo, Nigey goes all Twilight Zone.

I think it's easy to see why people would be demoralised after some decent performances and only 6 points to show for it.

Sorry mate was just joking.

I understand your feelings and I did have my doubts (and predicted that we were going to be struggling near the relegation zone). Though I think that we're improving lately. Key for sustained progress has got to be converting those winning performances into actual winning games, i.e converting our chances.

We'll be clearer to knowing if we'll be in a relegation dog fight after Christmas I guess. If we haven't put clear daylight between us and those teams, we'll have real ground to fear the worst.
