[PVA]

Count it - we were still one the bottom third with it last season?

1. No we weren't
2. So we were capable of results then. Glad you agree.

Once we’ve caught up with everyone else re games played, then we will have more of an idea where we are at. At the moment it’s purely guess work

more of an educated guess.....

 

[Super Graham Withey]

There has been Insufficient investment in the playing squad for us to progress. The first third of last season saw us massively over achieving buoyed by the CBS return and being back in stadiums post Covid. We’re a bottom 6 Championship club under SISU at best. I don’t players Robins or the players. I don’t really blame SISU now but under them we will simply not fulfill the club’s potential.

 

[skyblu3sk]

The odd thing is we aren't played off the park. We either have a defence that leaks shit goals or we can't put it in the net. I'm still hopeful it will turn around.

Well that won’t be until January, and well past the half way point of the season.

how do you work that out? Were 7 games in without a win against mostly mid to bottom teams. Granted 6 away but our home form second half of last season was dreadful. Not guess work that this season is gonna be a struggle

Come on we can win at home look at the 1977 season when we destroyed teams at home - why can’t we just start doing that again

 

[Saddlebrains]

Look at our home form at the start of last season. We clearly can get results at home.

As clutching at straws go

Come on we finished sixth in the top flight once - no reason we can’t now in this league - we’ve done it before!

You're absolutely all over the shop. One minute it's fine to look back on previous results the next minute it's not, all depending on your argument.

 

[wantageskyblue]

Just read manager’s post match comments on offal - anyone else realise that after the international break we have to play 21 games in 42 days? Oh dear……….

Relegation battle on

Where's the battle? We're 7 points adrift already.

And to make it funnier Robins saying there's no new faces coming in. It's a sh*tshow and we could be relegated and break some embarrassing records this season.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Things are obviously bad, no graphs from philosoraptor as he tries to work out how to make them show negatives

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I wonder how cc84 is taking all of this

 

[Hobo]

Worst league start in 103 years

Even under Thorn in the relegation season 11/12 we had 4 more points from 7 games.

We've won 9 in the last 46.

Our home form that people seem to be clinging on to for some reason reads 4 wins in 19 games.

We've played average teams at best amd not mustered one single win

Hull
Luton
Preston
Birmingham
Sunderland
Millwall

Will probably be called the usual 'bed wetter' 'back the team' etc but these are the saliant facts.


How the fuck do we get out of this? Absolute marooned at the bottom

So moaning about a bad start and throwing the towel in is the solution?

We have the players we have. Our season really has been disrupted (again with International break). Time to stick together a fight our way out. And it won't be a sudden upturn it will take several months.

If you havent the patience or stomach for it - do us all a favour and go shopping on a Saturday instead.

whose throwing the towel in? Genuinely makes me laugh that fans are thinking everything is gonna be fine. Based on what exactly? Fans are highlighting the issues and these issues are mounting. A flying start last season has clouded so many fans judgement it’s unreal.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Any realist city fan will be concerned. But I’ll wait until we’ve played four or five at home before I reach for the razors.

Na you're alright mate I've spent over £600 of my hard earned on season tickets and shirts etc so il keep going up and have every right to point out literal statistics that show how shit we are


Mad how people can argue with actual stats isnt it

This. Completely

Literally our worst start since 1919. Havent won in 12.

9 league wins in the last 46. 4 in 19 at home. A defence conceding an average of 2 a game

But apparently none of that warrants any negativity and we will be sound because we have games in hand

Anyone remember Rotherham a few seasons ago. All those games in hand, and most if not all at home too, but the squad was just too small to handle it and they fell away.

We already need more than a point a game to get to 50

By singing... HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
BBBBBBBRRRRRRAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

No wins in 12 is a rut and at any “normal” club would be close to the sack.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Come on we finished sixth in the top flight once - no reason we can’t now in this league - we’ve done it before!

1) Cancel every game; and
2) Put Paxman & London on the pools panel.

You do it every season.

When we go down, as I think we will, probably not this season but certainly in the next 2 or 3, you'll be telling everyone 'I told you so'.

But you've been banging the same drum for ages and you're usually wrong.

I remember, and I remember saying it would hurt them, and I remember some of the posters on this thread saying, no, they'll be fine and we're going down!

 

[PVA]

No wins in 12 is a rut and at any “normal” club would be close to the sack.

But the manager of those clubs probably hadn't taken them from L2 to the championship on a budget with no ground.

So Robins, rightly, still has plenty of credit in the bank.

Close to the sack and a large pay off, which won't happen, (I'm not saying it should), but that will ensure it doesn't happen.

I'm not saying sack him... but tell that to Claudio Ranieri... how much credit do you get for winning the Prem?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Watching the Boro game on Sky, look terrible. Wilder will probably need a win against us to keep his job!

 

[Perryccfc]

Christ a life. As usual Cov don’t win and the usual mob are out in force.

Long way to go and I don’t really have any concerns that we will be relegated. Think we will still be fine, and comfortably so. Just my opinion of course, before the positivity police start giving me the 3rd degree.

Job swap maybe!

Find a post from last season where i said we were going down? Bet you cant.

1st season in the championship i did, we had a front 2 of Baka and Biamou and shipley in CM so can you blame me?

Yes i will be saying told you so, because people are so fucking blind to whats happening

How did we get on in the 1919 season?
