What 17th in the Championship? I think you are complacent if you assume we will in the EPL next season.

and how did it help getting thrashed by Liverpool in the League Cup ?

Head in the sand

By which time we could be working out our 'promotion' campaign.

Groundhog Day ! We replace him with a mid table League 1 manager !

I am waiting for a considered response from Alpine, one of our more realistic posters.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Ha, probably trolls and bedwetters of course.

Well, tbh I would see it as a rational move. Exit the Cup and concentrate on remaining in the EPL.

Oooh, you will be on the wrong side of the Happy Clappers now.

But the worried ones were shouted down, castigated, insulted and in some cases banned.

We need 6 points from our home games. I would gracefully bow out of the Cup.

Yep.

What is he talking about ?

That is what I have been saying for some time now. Gradually people have come over to my way of thinking an about time.

No, I would rather be proven wrong. But, if you like we can all pretend that everything is fine and that it is absurd to think that we could remotely be considered to be in a relegation battle !

and that type of complacency by the Board is exactly why we could be relegated.

Agree with this. I was at the match and would say that was about right.

Not relegation, maybe a lower league finish, but not relegation.

The Titanic is unsinkable...she can't sink etc.

I am not surprised. I called it a long time ago.

Well, if you mean I am cautious, yes. But I am right, no denying it.

'Sleeping walking to a relegation battle'. Agree, to coin one of my phrases from earlier in the season. People have taken a long time to wake up.

Yes, we are in a relegation scrap. Something I warned about months ago and which I was constantly derided over. Now it seems my views are mainstream. Well complacency is no excuse anymore.

Which would be the ultimate irony !
