As much as we are in gloom and doom, if we did the above it would be very funny. Funnier how some would react on here - the permanently negative people may even start to wobble
Hopefully this isn't a one-off by Liverpool, and they go and repeat this (or more) on Saturday. A nice Forest thrashing could be just what it takes to push their owner into sacking Cooper.
4, 5 and 6 conceded in their past four games Only one clean sheet since January. No surprise who that was against.
Crazy thing is we could still survive, if we only had a modicum of competence in either 18 yard box. We don't, so we almost certainly won't, but the door is still tantalizingly open.
Yeah, to be clear I'm not saying that we have much chance to survive...we simply don't score goals and that's hard to overcome. Just that your average really bad team, in our position, would still have a fighting chance. Teams above us haven't managed to drop us despite our very best efforts.
If the last 5 or 6 seasons have taught us anything, it's the importance of having a top quality striker. If you put prime Danny Ings in our current team, we stay up comfortably. Probably even flirt with the top half. Take Ings' goals away from the successful days under Ralph, and we'd have been in the relegation battle. Put Harry Kane in any promoted side, and they'd stay up. A club our size, spending 40m on a keeper, defender, or midfielder, I'd question the sense behind it. But on a striker, worth the risk.
I really don't know who'll be sitting in 17th place this time tomorrow. Everton, Leicester and Leeds all have very winnable-yet-loseable games. There's no outcome in those three games which we surprise me (whereas anything other than a Forest defeat would surprise me).
