I know it's early days, but the teams that end up getting promoted have little margin for error as the standard for promotion is so high. Even 90 points is sometimes not enough, and we have already dropped 10 points.
Three teams already have an 8 point advantage over us.
Do you think we have a chance at the playoffs?

Absolutely forget about it.
The aim this year is not to go down.

On paper no if course it's not done,lots of examples of teams having a slow start ending up on top.
However watching that it seems impossible, utterly impossible until we can get some belief back in the defence.
What keeps you up 50 points?

No chance of getting promoted, no chance of getting into the play-offs.
The best we can hope is that we finish mid-table and have a complete clear out next season. It’s a massive task though. We’ve messed up by not selling Allen in the summer, he’s gone from being a saleable asset to someone no-one in their right mind would sign, and he’s on massive wages as well.

It was never on the cards anyway, too much to sort out, I just didn't think it was this much.

What's the Championship equivalent of 'let's get to 40 points'?

If we replicate our first four performances in the next 42 games we have a great chance of relegation!

When Wigan are toying with you I'm be more concerned that we'll be playing the Vale soon, might provide some excitement at least!!

If we lose to Hull I think it's safe to say we're looking at a relegation battle, if not even worse.

I was actually thinking tonight half way through that second half, thank God we're nowhere near the promotion scene/places. On and off the pitch we're in a mess and I dread to think in our current guise how bad promotion would be for us right now. We look dis-organised & with the middlemen ie Cartwright & Scholes still set firmly in place we really are no different or further forward to where we were this time last season..
