    The "If we go down" thread

    OK doomsters, I've decided that we're staying up. Started the thread but now realise that if we can get through 90 minutes without getting one of the team sent off, we WILL get the points we need, starting with the visit of Nottingham Forest. Rest easy, we've got this!

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    1) Not buying enough high quality forwards who were proven goalscorers. 2) Buying prospects not quality - we were complacent and got the balance horribly wrong. No goals = no wins, simple as that....

    The "If we go down" thread

    To be honest i still think we will get enough points to stay up. Unless we somehow get a win on Thursday, I can see us not winning another game this season, until relegation is a mathematical certainty, when the pressure will lift. But then I'm a pessimist.

    These jokers…

    You just have to hope that we get a decent team once we are in the Championship and don't do a Coventry or a Sheffield Wednesday. Relying on one of Nottingham Forest or West Ham to be even worse than us is no place to be. If the drop is beckoning, so be it, we might get out the other side and...

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    I suspect that Thursday could be time for a rendition of "Always look on the bright side of life"... a draw would be magnificent (yes, it has come to that!) but it really feels as if we are now paying for all the blunders of the last 5 years, and in particular not buying attacking players of the...

    OMT - Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur

    Yup. The team needs support on Thursday for sure. But we can't wait till we are 2 nil down....

    OMT - Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur

    We might do better at scoring goals if we took more shots at the goal instead of the perpetual side to side stuff we do....

    Igor the Interim

    Now we have Porro and Danso back in training, that is great news. Porro in particular for his wingback role...looking at who we have available we should be nowhere near the relegation zone. Mid table mediocrity? With our squad certainly. Others on here were more perceptive about how dreadful...

    The "If we go down" thread

    Ok, if the worst happens (50/50 I'd say), which players do we want to keep, players who would fight to get the club back up to the PL? I'll start by saying the "must keeps" are Gray, Danso, Madders, Solanke, Porro. Who else?

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    The overload on our left side seemed to me to be similar to the overload which Saudi Sportswashing Machine created on our left side, with players like Spence not knowing where to be, which player to mark. If I was the Fulham manager, I'd aim to repeat it against us...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Every single time he takes a kick I say "10 yards further up ffs". He cannot kick to save his life. Can't kick, can't catch, can't command the area....but great shot stopper.

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    We were truly awful from start to finish. From high in the North I had no idea what we were trying to do. I'm not sure about that. I agree that at times in the first half, it seemed a repeat of the Saudi Sportswashing Machine game, in the way that we were overrun and had so little possession, but you could...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    I just hope we don't go a man down because of some daft tackle that needn't have been made...and a WIN would be so so so so sweet. I'd be walking on air for days if not weeks.....

    Igor the Interim

    I read that Igor likes to play 3 at the back. Has that ever worked in England?

    He can't seem to build a squad and has all the personality of a potato. A very self-satisfied potato
