    I don't agree, as some have suggested, that "we've been dreadful all season". We had a dreadful start, but our record over the last 19 games reads: W 7 D 4 L 8.
    25 points from 19 games is only just below mid-table form. It is impossible to know what could happen in the 9 outstanding games, were they to be played, so, with 27 points still up for grabs, I do not think it would be fair to relegate any club.

    I fear the current debate on how to resolve this season will become a complete irrelevance. By the time we get to the other side of the pandemic there maybe only enough clubs still in existence to form one professional league below the premiership or possibly two smaller regional ones.

    Even when results were going against us, I don’t think we were dreadful. We’d play some nice stuff and then a lapse of concentration, concede, confidence drop and the rest is history. But not consistently dreadful.

    If we'd got rid of Lama head and Andersen sooner we'd be midtable.

    Didn't you say we'd been dreadful?

    TBF. You’ll not get a reply to that one as it’s way down the list of priorities at the mo. It’s called a get out clause.

    Agree about anderson he has been dreadfull all season god knows how he has played so many games. Some were trying to pin the blame on diaby when they were a partnership who on his day could be equally as bad but when diaby was dropped anderson got even worse.

    Mcgheehan had a few bad games early on but he offers more than I've seen from ritzmare.

    The problem is we have played 37 games not just those 19. If you just watched us home and away v Fulham this season you would think we were brilliant.

    You are right. I should have expressed myself more clearly. I really meant to say that the results were dreadful, rather than the performances. I went to Wigan, Forest and Blackburn, for example, and thought that, on the balance of play and the entertainment provided, we probably deserved at least 7 points, yet we ended up with one. Appalling defensive lapses have spoiled a lot of decent play.

    So it is, However, you posted in another thread we’ve been dreadful all season and deserve to go down, or words to that effect. People are just disagreeing with that.

    That minute-long video of our defending with the Benny Hill music about sums us up.

    Can't defend, and that would have relegated us.

    But the players never stopped trying (I've seen Barnsley teams just give up, whether it's because they wanted the manager sacked or because they were weak mentally) and they deserve credit for that. There were a few goals in us, too.

    It was a poor side in the context of this division, but I'd sooner watch it and support it than the gutless relegation crew of 2002, or the Wilson team whose one tactic was to hit long diagonal balls to O'Grady all afternoon/evening.

    Performance and result don't always correlate.
