We’re either a very good bet and bookies are useless or they know Collyers poisoned the dressing room and we’ll get beat
Someone mentioned that we seem to have a history of losing games at the end of the season and it occurred to me that nearly every notable season I can remember our form tends to falls off a cliff.
Long before our late season plummet to L1 in 2020 and Rosenior's team's drop-off, weren't even our glorious promotion seasons in the naughties characterised by us taking our foot off the gas? We allowed Donny to pull away in L2 when we should really have won the title and then, the following season when completing back-to-back promotions, I seem to remember us losing the last 3 games. Even in 2008 we passed up the (admittedly slim) chance of going up automatically on the last day by losing at Ipswich. It's not just me is it?

Bruce in 13/14 and even then league dropped off once we were safe I guess.
There's a stat about us not winning on the final day for about 20 years or something isn't there.
Just remembered the disastrous late season home defeat to Sunderland and the 1-4 battering by Burnley in the Prem (possibly different seasons) but both times survival was in our hands and we ****ed it up.
Oh and the thrashing we got at Palace at the end of the Marco Silva season when it looked like we'd be safe.
It’s not just about us winning either, we need to get a bit of form going, if we’re going to stand any chance in the playoffs, assuming we make it, which is by no means a given based on our recent performances.
I agree , wouldnt surprise me if we drew tonight and Wrexham and Derby got beat, which wouldnt be a disaster League table wise but we really need to get some momentum going now with performance and wins
that is a bit weird, understandable if Leicester were in some sort of form and had won a couple on the bounce or something.
to be fair we got a lot of our best results away from home when heavy underdogs earlier in season, so maybe not a bad thing..
Also, how about that away match at relegated Pompey in 2010 under Dowie, conceded 2 last min goals to lose 3-2, when a win would have took us clear.
There was another home defeat to Burnley too, 0-1 in 2015, when they were ****ed and we had everything to play for.
From memory, we have a ****ing awful record against relegated clubs.
Aren't the odds just a reflection of where the money has gone?
Punters may sniff - LCFC, by the law of averages must dos something soon, with some better than most players at absolute defcon 1 versus a team stuttering to ****.
I saw us at 3-1 on Sunday on B365, so some money must have been put our way since.

Think the Burnley was 0-0. I left fuming at the performance. Absolutely needed 3 points. No urgency. No real chances. What pissed me off most was that we didn’t even pick up one yellow card with a crunching tackle.

Didn’t we face Leicester at home towards the end of 14/15 when they were ‘relegated’, ****ed it up, then they won about 5 games on the bounce and ended up relegating us?
No sure wages will be the only problem if they go down. My mate who is a season ticket holder told me running costs for their training facility are £22 million per year and league one income is £21 million per year.
Think that game was actually around new year. They still seemed buried at the time. We played them away near the end of the season and drew 1-1 I think. Hernandez missed a sitter late on. They still looked relegated even by then. Then their big run to safety started after that. That's how I remember it anyway.

We've got form against Burnley too -

There's loads of examples of us being charitable to others and it's not only at the end of the season. Didn't Portsmouth turn up with played 7 lost 7 and then beat us at home?
I’m just hoping that this thread is just a case of us all preparing ourselves for the worst, so we won’t be too disappointed when the inevitable happens, as we definitely have plenty of form for it but for once, they’re actually going to prove us wrong and put in a great performance and result.
As I was typing that, I got a very strong feeling of Déjà vu, like I’ve written before.
