Might as well put this now for the shits and giggles. Can track it through the season.

Will we break the record? Need to find four wins to avoid it. Where will they come from?

 

[TomRad85]

Always thought its basically impossible to break that record but it would typical if my team beat it

 

[Sick Boy]

Some people seem to revel in this sort of thing.

Don’t need to take it so seriously mate. Just have a bit of sense of humour about it all.

I don't, said after Hull this was my genuine worry. I know we are getting relegated but I want to at least put up a fight.

Honestly worried we won't beat their record judging on what I have seen so far.

 

[mark82]

We'll win more than 4 games.

Derby after 4 games: 1 point, 3 goals scored, 9 conceded

Us after 4 games: 0 points, 0 goals scored, 10 conceded

A thrilling race

They did lose their 5th game 6-0 so you’d hope we’re at least ahead of them in terms of goal difference come Saturday night!

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

What did they finish up on, wins, draws, losses, goals for and against?

Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night​

By Dylan Thomas
Share
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Do you still think we will finish above Hull??

 

[Sick Boy]

Yes.

 

[Grendel]

One season in the PL we had one win 3 draws and 13 defeats heading into December

Something to aim for then

 

[SkyBluePower]

They slightly improved after sacking Billy Davies who was basically an alcoholic but unfortunately the replacement was Paul Jewel who was hopeless too.
Surely Frank can do better than that…

 

[Ccfcsj]

We need to try and be more positive - too many sideways and backwards passes. Try to be inventive - it might not always come off but sometimes will and it's better for our opponents to have the ball in their half rather than ours.

I hope we break that dubious record at least.

What was the outcome of that season? (Cant be arsed to research!)

Or should that be infamous.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Think our 2nd win was 5-0 against the reigning champions. We stayed up

Even Billy Davies steered them to their only win.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Yes.

Our defence set up and theirs chalk and cheese lol. They defend for their lives and are very good at it.

So you still think our defence including keeper is better than theirs!? Lol

You should put some money on us finishing above you will get good odds.

 

[Pusb1]

to stay up we'd probably need 10 wins with 8/9 draws.

Literally can't even see where one win is coming from at the minute. Every single team on paper is stronger than ours - and we've fluffed the 'easiest' home game all season.

We're screwed

Yup. You’re talking about basically winning one in 3 until the end of the season. Not happening, not by a long shot.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

The planning for next season in championship deep down has started for many including Doug King.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

It was actually demoralising watching us for the first 20 mins yesterday. The gulf was monumental. We could have been easily been 2/3 nil down in first 20 mins. And they still won 5 nil.

It took 20 mins to make tweaks. In this league you are done if you set up wrong. We were chasing shadows for first 20 mins.

Davies had alcohol problems and wasn't Jewell caught shagging someone's wife in the car park ?

[robbiethemole]

So basically, take the money, go down with parachute payments, and build again for the next try, just like Ipswich have done??
