If you look at it like that, with us not playing for at least the next two games, the table will look a lot worse. If you want to put a positive spin on it, by the time we do get to play again, we should have some of our better players available. How miserable do you want to be?

The OP isn't doing that though. They're just looking at the negative. Oncers here is just putting the other side (as is Blueislander).
What positives Dollers?
It's been pretty awful both on and off the pitch so it's perfectly fair to highlight negatives. At the moment it's hard to take more solace or positive from the fact we might end up above Accrington Stanley.

I didn't say anything about positives. But there are enough negatives without inventing new ones that haven't happened.
Trust the process. Trust Phil.

He's not done that either.
He's said something that could happen and specifically said could in his post. Speculation on future events is commonplace in football. It just happens to be that unfortunately are future events are more likely to be negative than positive at the moment.

If you're talking about something that could happen then yes, you're inventing negatives. Why bother? There's enough to be miserable about ITFC as it is.
As onceablue says, they might not win their games in hand (other teams haven't). And as Blueislander correctly points out, with us not playing we're obviously going to drop, but a positive is that we might have some injured players back by the time we do play again.
Cheer up, chicken.
Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Chin up Stokie, no call to be so negative
No matter how awful 2020 has been
2021 will be a great deal worse

So speculation on future results is only now allowed if it's positive?
That's going to cut down Phil's board traffic dramatically.

I said after the Burton game the table was looking much more favourable than it actually was because we’d not been affected by postponements. We were 5th and close to the top but everyone had games in hand around us.
Points per game we are 8th in the table, to go with 11th last year - blame injuries (all clubs have them), blame scheduling (all clubs are suffering), blame Covid (it’s affecting all teams)......
Long and short of it is that this manager saw us relegated without a fight, then took us to an 11th place finish last year, and having been given up until the January transfer window still can’t get us in the top 6 in League 1.
It’s embarrassing how many chances he is being given

Ridiculous to just think because they are called Accrington Stanley, we have a divine right to be above them. Ultimately if they win their games in hand they'll go joint top with Lincoln, in which case us, Hull, Pompey, Sunderland, Charlton, Doncaster, Peterborough etc will all have to 'Let that sink in'.
Remember Wycombe Wanderers finished above us all last year. Just because they have a small ground and not as many fans as us doesn't mean they can't/won't do well. Let's also remember that we beat Accrington this season, in which case we cant affect what they're doing any more than what we've already done.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. I don't thin it's overly entitled of us to be thinking that 'higher in the league than Accrington Stanley' is a reasonable expectation.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Simple stats and facts say we were 2nd this time last season, we’re now 7th. As deplorably bad as last season was, this season is worse. Struggling to find any positives as are others.

The first four months of last season were not bad in my opinion.
At this point last season (18 games 36 points) we still looked like a team that would get promoted I think.
This season (18 games 32 points) we do not and not sure that we have at any point this season so far.

Based on actual data - PPG - it is not negative, it is realistic. To be clear, realistic means that, in this situation, it is the most likely outcome, based on previous measurable data.
If you are talking about a positive that could happen, yet is statistically unlikely to happen, then you are inventing positives. Please refrain from inventing positives.
