Seems coming 4th bottom whilst also winning every game was the actual expectation. |  | | |  |

I’m not celebrating anything. I’m making the point that teams who finish 4th bottom lose far more games than they win, a point lost on so many on here. |  | |  |

You'll have a point if we start to win games. Until then you literally have no point. The season doesn't finish now so doesn't matter if we are currently 4th bottom or top or bottom. |  |

They do also win once or twice |  |

Before a ball was kicked 4th bottom was almost universally accepted….. on 17:52 - Oct 19 with 3881 views | ElephantintheRoom | I expect most glory seekers and franchise followers were hoping not to be given the runaround by Everton at home. The honeymoon period is now over and the number of wins is a tad concerning. Southampton and Wolves will sack their managers soon and a dead cat bounce might occur just to bring the panic button closer. |  |

On points won, there are currently three teams worse off than us. If the season ends that way, does it matter how we got there? To be told I have no point by the random scatter-gun, type first think the week after merchant is laughable. |  | |  |

Laugh all you like. You're the one here though who had posted something that means nothing until the end of season |  |

Absolutely. Positivity can wait. Negativity on the other hand should be vitriolic and immediate. |  | |  |

Negativity based on something that happened. Yours is positivity based on something that we don't know if it'll happen until end of season |  |

Haha. You’re such a joke. Don’t know how you can judge the opinion of others when you change yours 15 times a game. |  | |  |

shall i be positive about us surving this season even though that's not happened yet either? or should I carry on reacting to things that, you know, have actually happened [Post edited 19 Oct 2024 18:02]

Coz I still change that opinion about something that's happened not something that's half a season away. |  |

Positivity is a good thing. Put's things and life into perspective. You know I am always trying to be positive, which isn't a bad thing. You don't have to be jumping around with joy, just not down on life. You are of course allowed to feel how you like, but so are others. |  |

Dear me. It’s a positive thing NOW, that we’re 4th bottom NOW, and that there are three teams with less points than us NOW. You really are tedious. |  | |  |

So you're actually being positive about that despite the game week not even being over |  | |  |

I'll take being tedious if that means I'm not excited about being 4th bottom with no wins yet in October. Come back to me in May and if we are 4th bottom I'll then be delighted and couldn't give to shts how many games we'd won to achieve it. |  |

Can't understand that j2. Probably an emotional supporter. You wait 20 odd years hoping your side gets back into the prem and we've not won a game yet. When the prem is the top of English football it does make you wonder why you bother wanting it. |  |

Honestly I'm not too down on not winning a game we all knew this was going to be a massive step up. I am more concerned that the performance levels have dropped significantly since Villa. Players making silly mistakes, not doing the simple things well and losing the midfield battle. On the positive side, I thought Chappers and Harry made a big difference as well as moving Omari out right. Straight away you could see how quick Clarke would spread the ball out to Hutch. Said in a halftime thread, whenever we got the ball out to the right we just kept recycling it across the back line. Is it confidence or as I heard during the commentary we've used 26 players this season so the gelling thing is a problem. We also don't seem to be able to press the opposition and are retreating back to the box which is increasing the pressure. |  | |  |
