Despite yesterday throwing us closer to the drop zone, I've actually softened a bit on the chances of relegation. There was enough yesterday to make me think we sneak another win in the next 4 games, which should be enough.

Our form however is worrying. And its not just the recent form.

5 game form - 23rd with 0 points (4 points from safety)
10 game form - 22nd with 7 points (1 point from safety)
15 game form - 20th with 14 points (1 point above relegation)
20 game form - 20th with 21 points (1 point above relegation)
25 game form - 17th with 28 points (3 points above relegation)
30 game form - 16th with 34 points (3 points above relegation).


The fact we are just 3 points above relegation in our 30 game form is worrying from a trajectory perspective. Its almost more worrying than the 5 game form, which could be seen as a blip. 30 game forms aren't a blip, they're an accurate representation of where we are. We're just lucky we had such a good start in our first 7 games.

10 game form is clearly worrying, but even that suggests there's too much ground to make up for others if we can repeat it.

If we don't beat QPR to end this cycle though, April turns winnable home games into incredibly high pressure games with fans either nervous or angry. Not the kind of environment that our youngsters will have experienced.

Up to us as real supporters not to get angry with the players, it serves no purpose other than affecting performances.

I think it's unavoidable. It's the inevitable reaction of a crowd. It will start to get toxic and even people getting angry with the coach/DOF/Owner will have a negative affect on the team whether they care to admit it or not.

It's very unlikely but we need to stop the rot.

I would honestly take a point against QPR on Saturday

Wouldn't disagree. Feels like we need this international break to reset and get some players back.

Im only bringing it up because mathematically if all clubs repeat their last 10 games again, we get relegated.

it’s genuinely not beyond the realms of possibility and until we win again, will become more and more sketchy.

Too many ifs in that sentence. Loads of them have to play each other, so the mathematics of it all are likely impossible

loads of them played each other in the last 10 games as well.

there’s only one IF in my point anyway. Repeat the last 10 games again and we are in trouble.

That's not true is it? Our 10 game form would be relegation form from a standing start, but not with a 9 point advantage.

but they all can’t repeat the last 10 results cos a few of them play each other.
