Wouldn’t we buy Hamer?

We're like the unfancied lone breakaway in the Tour de France that defies the odds and takes the stage win ahead of a peloton that just couldn't keep up.
This will be our finest hour, matched only by 1987. It won't get any better - enjoy every minute.

Not sure that’s the greatest analogy since the break often builds a substantial lead only to be reeled in with only a few k’s to go!

And that's possibly the only example of a crash of that magnitude we can come up with in around 30 years.

Does nobody remember Walsall last season? It’s far too early to think it’s all over. One game at a time.

I didn't mean it's all over, I'm just pointing it out that it's so rare from this position to fail, that everyone remembers the odd time when it has happened. In this instance Newcastle from 30 odd years ago was mentioned, you pointed out another example, although I think Stoke recalling 15 goal Nathan Lowe who was on loan at the time played a considerable part in Walsall, demise.

I agree it’s rare but it happens. Losing Lowe was obviously massive to them, but it’s only the same as one of our key players being out long-term, which could happen.
You’ve only got to look at our squad today as the injuries start piling up, with not a single attacking option on the bench. That’s not sustainable over a few weeks.
Hopefully we might still have enough today though, need to really hope we are not chasing the game
