A lot of people changing their tune. I agree with what you are saying, but I will add and have been consistent in saying that the Board are always going to very satisfied as long as we do enough to stay in the premier League. This would include finishing 17th. Of course following a 'mid table' strategy always means we are vulnerable to a poor season and relegation.

Well, it could be this season. Our current form is dreadful.

If we lose to Norwich I think the trap door will be a bit close for comfort.

Post of the day. You are spot on in your analysis. I would say, that the ambition of the board has always been to just be content with staying in the Premier League. However, even to do this requires more investment than we are currently getting. Perhaps, we are prepared to take a hit, in the form of relegation, because the board are confident we can bounce back. In other words a 'yoyo' policy.

Interesting call. Targett did quite well at one stage in the season. Norwich have a very useful player in Redmond. They are fast and very good at counter attacking.

I am glad that you engaged the topic rather than the person, which is more than can be said for some posters. I am genuinely NOT trolling, but expressing my concern. I am clearly not alone in my concern, in fact there are a fair proportion of posters who have contemplated a relegation fight unless we strengthen in this and the summer window. Your statistics offer some comfort, on the face of it. But, and this is the crux of it. Look at our current from compared to the other clubs in the lower third and we cannot afford to be complacent. There always appears to be one team that drops from a relatively comfortable mid table position into a relegation fight. If we lose to Norwich on Saturday, surely the alarm bells should be ringing.

The real issue is to spend wisely. Research your product well. If you don't invest then you have to accept the Club is prepares to drop down every now and again and start rebuilding using the Academy and hungry lesser known players from the lower leagues. If you like, the 'yoyo' strategy.

He is not a WUM ! Complacency will see us get relegated. The clubs immediately below us are about to strengthen and fight for their EPL status, make no mistake. If we sit on our hands we will go down.

A very dangerous game to play, if we don't invest. We could just as easily go down as the likes of Norwich, Newcastle, Swansea and Bournemouth, especially if they strengthen in the Jan window. The game against Norwich, more than any, will show us where we are and what kind of season we will likely to have. A heavy defeat and I would say we could well go down.

I have always said this. People were very complacent in the Spring of 2004. The club then appointed a manager out of his depth and the slide began. I am afraid that we are already in a 'slide'. The only thing that leaves me in doubt was the great result against Arsenal. Other than that, things look ominous. Lose to Norwich and we are in the thick of it. If we fail to strengthen in the January transfer market we may well go down.

Forget about the Cup. We need points on the board.

You will have to explain that one.

In a way I hope you are right. We are little too close to the bottom three for comfort. We need at least a point at Carrow Road.

Come on...people are disappointed. Stop being a troll.

Not sure how to feel. We should have been out of sight, but predictably let Wham back.

Gaston has been very poor.

Strange how we dominate, fail to kill off then crumble.

Come on Saints, a draw would be handy.

Ignore that stupid post.

Tadic off...for Ramirez Mani ---- Wuanyama

Game is on a knife edge, we need some fresh legs.

I don't know. I really don't understand.

Wham are all over us now.

**** !

Wham look far more lively. We need a fluky 2nd !
