I do think this thread, especially the title of it, could be an all timer if/when we get promoted.

Along with Haji Shite, that thread seems to have disappeared along with the poster fortunately

Definitely.

Today showed that we won’t make it in the autos race.

This is not even a melodramatic post. The players don’t have the mentality, fight, passion to do this. Been evident for months.

If this is how they want to perform at home then there’s no chance for the rest of the season.

How on earth will these bunch of players be up for a battle with Boro?

Lampard you’re to blame as well as you’ve persisted with some nonsense tactics, formations even when we started the downward spiral. Don’t use injuries and fatigue as an excuse. You should have tightened us up over the last few months.

If you can’t beat Oxford who are awful at home in a promotion run in you don’t deserve anything. We don’t have any away form.

Too many so called big players picking up a wage for little return. No urgency, passion, creativity… nothing.

We won’t be going up through the autos and we haven’t a hells chance in winning any play off battles.

It’s a shame as this is the once in the blue moon chance to get out of this league. But it’s ending in a worrying style.

You may have a point.

 

[Flying Fokker]

We have to win 9/10 games out of 15 now. It’s impossible for us for autos.

Let’s see, have faith. Keep us updated.

At least promotion will mean a little less to the fans that turned on the side. Not that they won't enjoy it. But not as much as the real fans

Fans are allowed to be emotional. I like many others at the time were seeing all that great work at the start of the season evaporating week on week. Really happy we have turned this around. It’s fine margins either way but all the heartache of being relegated from the prem and never did I think it would be all the way to L2 and decades till we could potentially get back. It’s being in the cusp that makes a lot of fans that extra bit nervous. We all want this badly.

I know you do and that's why I'm trying hard not to fully go in on you. I know u love cov and want us to get promoted.

But emotion isn't an excuse to declare the season over and the players as not having bottle to see it through.

You went too far and you probably admit it I hope rather than stand by it

It was venting at the time no doubt. Luckily my last sentence in the post didn’t completely rule it out

We have all made daft posts, even sometimes our cousins have lol.

That win were I felt like it was one of those games where nothing was quite going for us was absolutely fucking huge

Just checked, phew…

 

[Deleted member 7943]

I think its probably going to end better than we all expected at this point

 

[Deleted member 7943]

Its not over yet , but lampard isnt showing any signs of being able to turn our poor form around

He turned it around

Thats all that matters

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Not quite the same as they didn't have a massive lead but Ipswich 23/24 had been 2nd since September, dropped to 4th on 3rd February after 1 win in 9. I remember it being a 4-way battle between them, Leicester, Leeds and Southampton.

Just went back to that date on their forum (why yes I am unemployed atm, how could you tell?) and it's eerily similar to on here - threads called "Forget a bad run of form, this is a concerning now", "Good-bye top two, nice knowing you", accusations of bed-wetting, people looking for the positives and being called delusional.

It's happened before and has now happened to us but it's not over. Plenty of twists and turns to come. It might not look like we can string a few wins together but I bet it didn't to them either.

What did I tell you @clint van damme ?

Interesting how similar it's been to that Ipswich run. Their dodgy patch was a bit shorter but both of us have gone on to win 6 in a row

Hopefully we match their 18 points from the last 9!

The craziest thing in all this is, that the original post was made on the 7th Feb

We are now at the 12th March and there's still NINE games to go.



That's the most insane bit.

Currently on 10 wins from 14

Take the foil off Otis!! My teeth are wincing at the thought of it.

Tbf that’s an incredible run. Not sure many would have predicted that (although it’s well over what was needed in the end)

Some hilarious posts on here considering the lowest we fell to was 2nd, 1 point off top.

It is a bit worrying in the context of what apoplectic responses we might be getting next season.

Hopefully we’ll all manage to be a bit more measured.

Don't forget there were people booing when we were still top and drew with Oxford, it's going to be a real battle next season whichever team we put out and it's going to need us fans to stick with them whatever the results.
