    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.

    Are we allowed to get angry with people who bump this embarrassing thread?

    Not a hope in hell of relegation.

    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.

    I tend to agree with that Gill, but a win on Saturday will feel a lot better. Realistically I would say the 3 to go down will come from Stoke and below.

    Can't believe people are even discussing relegation

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

    I would honestly take a point against QPR on Saturday

    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.

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

    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.

    Me too. Only because they’re below us and QPR need wins now, not draws.

    yeh I’d take a draw for sure. Especially seeing its likely to be Seelt and Hjelde at centre back

    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.

    Birmingham v Boro on Tuesday night.

    Fingers crossed for an away win.

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