1. 7 of the 8 teams below us are at least 6 points adrift of us. I don't see 5 of them overtaking us in the remaining games.

2. In our last 3 games we have improved our defensive performances and snatched 2 draws against teams in the Champions League places.

3. A point a game will see us to 42 points. We're averaging better than that so far this season. Indeed, we have managed a point a game in our last 5 games. Only Wolves with 7 have managed more. 4 of those 7 teams haven't even won any of their last 5 games.

4. The form of those 6 teams who haven't even managed 5 points in their last 5 games isn't going to magically improve because they have new players, especially where those players have come from a foreign league and will need time to adjust to the pace and style of the PL.

5. Whilst the bookies do get it wrong at times, we are 16-1 to go down, so unlikely candidates for relegation in their eyes.

4.

Have we even managed to loan Spence? We're not buying anyone are we.

Red and Blue Army!

I think you have written enough on this subject to know the answer already, but to humour you:

1) Tactics/selections
2) Players being played out of position.
3) Lack of confidence due to 1) and 2)

Not when we're back in the championship with a 10-14k attendance - mind you I guess we'll be able to choose where we want to sit

A first team centre-mid on loan is, I think, the minimum we need to stay up, just, this season. i.e. kick the can down the road to the Summer, just like we've done for the last 10 years. Anything less and I am convinced we will go down.

Very, very unlikely. We only need another 12/13 points which means we would have to play worse than saints/everton have in the first half.

Maybe Ozah and others will be given a shout off the bench.

Well, we do have previous in this respect. We’ve already decided that we only need two first team goalkeepers even though everyone else at this level has 3, and our owners will look back to when we stayed up with one striker who then got injured.

The horrible reality is that we tend to look at January as a cost cutting exercise rather than an opportunity for team improvement.

£12m bid for Semenyo made yet he has gone to Bournemouth for £9m

Stuttgart have denied that any deal has been agreed

"dazza", whilst i accept your only passing on snippets that you believe to be true, when the 2 players you have mentioned dont join us, it leaves you open ( not from me) ridicule by others

with a certain person on SM deactivating his acc during this window ( i wonder why??) im not believing anything i see anywhere after the window has shut

2010 decided my services were no longer required after 10 years service on the WHITEHORSE LANE FAMILY STAND

When is the penny going to drop ? Parish has taken the club as far as he can. After 10 years in this league, with no transfer funds seemingly available this month that is a joke.
Getting outspent by Bournemouth, & yes I know they have new owners, need to protect investment blah blah blah but don't we too ? We are only 2 losses away from being in real difficulty.
But no, we are just so complacent, because after all we won't get any injuries or suspension & the teams below us will keep losing lol.
