From listening on the interweb at stupid o clock the wire game sounded like we have really improved. I don't think that this team will not win any sl match this year. I do still think that we are still in big trouble and there is a big risk of relegation. But there are encouraging signs on the pitch. I do feel better after the wire game, this is a look of a team that can get a whole lot better.

Insightful as ever

But every thread ends up at the same place? DH is c***, the people he employs are c***, the team are c***, attendances are down by xxx%, points difference is xxx% worse than 2008/9/10.................. etc etc etc.

I rarely come on this site now - too depressing. As this thread started about avoiding relegation - why not talk about that? I actually go to games to watch a team of 17 people play rugby. I could not give a f*** about the performance of the owner/CEO. I spend about 80hrs a week dealing with Boards of Directors/Chairs/CEOs etc (Note - not bragging merely stating a fact), sat in endless meetings or in front of a computer. Going to a game is a great escape!!!!!

When I am on here I am interested in news about the team/performances etc etc - not the egos of other supporters. I am as interested in the future of the club as anyone, and I despair at times...........

But to get back on thread. I have been hugely encouraged by the performances this year - we at least have a team who seem to want to play and give 100%. They may not be good enough, they in all probability will be relegated. The next few weeks are probably key - but hey ho. I will enjoy the games!

Spot on Brian, our performances are getting there, as I said previously we must hope we simply don't "run out of season" before the improvements can get us away from the relegation spots. I think we'll just about avoid relegation (9th I hope) BUT, if we don't (and for me it's an unlikely IF) then I'll continue to watch the club in what ever guise they continue on in.

I don't care if we are next seasons strugglers in SL or next seasons Championship favourites or even a whole new entity having to start life again in tier 3, I'll still follow MY club.

Well said that man

The truth will always prevail.
