To be honest, I'm just focusing on this season.
I think we'll be OK if we don't have a bad run of injuries but the lack of investment will catch up with us in the not too distant future.
We have been consistently average 10 - 12 points a game every every chunk of 10 games since the first 10

Depends how January goes. Boddy and his message was the equivalent to shareholders of a profit warning. Can’t see if Gyokeres keeps going that he will not be sold
Agree with this. I'm steering clear of the match threads these days as the negativity is off the scale. Obv I'm not going to claim things are going well but some posters appear to be relishing the fact we're struggling.What’s seriously pissing me off about this is that lack of team spirit.
Not by the players but by the fucking fans.
Things aren't as bad as I feared. If we are getting 10 - 12 points a game, then a win or two and we'll rocket up the league.We have been consistently average 10 - 12 points a game every every chunk of 10 games since the first 10
ok, since Fulham game (the 4-1 at home) we’ve played 42 games and accumulated 45 points. That’s relegation form no matter which way you look at it. What part of that is rubbish?
Ignoring the fact that 45 points last season was enough to stay up in a 46game season

I think also excluding the Norwich game aren’t we 8 points worse off than the same fixtures last season?
we didn't play Sunderland either but Luton is the only result we've improved on from a corresponding fixture last season.
I am surprised with the stats but agree they don't look good. Having said that, throughout the whole of last season I can only remember a handful of games where were outclassed by the opposition and we were always in with a shout of getting something, appeared to be matching other teams quite comfortably and generally we were always creating chances, but missing tonnes of guilt edged opportunities in front of goal, I'm sure I saw a stat somewhere of chances Vs expected conversion rate and we were high one the former and low on the latter. we also generally got a lot of plaudits externally for our football. How that's rectified I'm not sure and I'm sure Robins is scratching his head.ok, since Fulham game (the 4-1 at home) we’ve played 42 games and accumulated 45 points.

I've said numerous times the form this season is dreadful, no one is denying that.
And yes you are conveniently taking something away.
Why 42 games? What sort of cut off is that? If you want to make it 46 games ie a season then it's 52 points, comfortably clear of relegation. And that includes the worst start to a season in a hundred years or whatever it is.

I think it's why people frustrated that we couldn't perhaps muster up just a couple of new additions at the time just to bolster and take us over the line from being a "nearly" team. And we've obviously failed to do that in the summer. So frustrating for us all whichever way we look at it.

so even after 46 games, 52 points is concerning. The fact our squad is weaker, off the field issues being more influential it doesn’t bode well. let’s hope during the international break they can plan for October which is arguably tougher than September. End of October we’re not having the same conversation

It's pretty obvious to most we are in a false position. Gotta be pretty dumb not to see that.@Londonccfcfan can you give us your expert insights into why things aren’t that bad?
Why is it a false position? We've played 7, and of those one was a newly promoted team, the other 5 are currently in the bottom half. The points gap already has virtually wiped out our games in hand. Form can obviously change over a season, but as we look at it now it doesn't look great. Unless, do you mean our false position is being in the Championship and we're more league one at the moment.
Sunderland are top 6 tbf (though, give it a few months for Mowbray to settle in).
Our fans mocking them at the start of the season must feel pretty silly atm
By the 1 nil defeat at Fulham London and PVA ancestors were writing telegrams saying “it’s only a blip in form” “look what we did in 1911” and “if it wasn’t fot the keeper the forwards and the defence we’d be top by now”

'False position' is always a load of bollocks
Unless a points deduction has been made. E.g Derby last year was a false position would have been nowhere near bottom 3

And that 1 game at home we lost. Yes we've got games in hand, but even winning them all would barely take us out of relegation.It's not bollocks when you've got 3 games in hand and only played 1 game in 7 at home.

Well its not a false position for the games weve played is it?
We've mustered 3 from a possible 21.
