Following on from presser and 'fine margins', how many (more or less) points would you make an objective case for over the season? Based on performance on the day rather than 'sliding doors' "if we'd won that, then..."
Leicester (h) the clear and obvious +2
Draws with Brentford (h)&(a), Forest (a), Bournemouth (h) and Palace (a); +5, point off for blue-eyed bias +4
Probably got away with one at Villa (a) and Brighton (a) -2
Overall +4
(Pointless I know but...) |  | | |  |

We’ve got the points we deserve. We can gloss it up however much we like, but let’s be honest it’s not been great at times and we are where we deserve to be. Fine margins are all well and good, but when it has been in the heat of battle - when it really matters - we’ve come out second best a lot this season. It’s been painful viewing. | |

The Fulham away fixture feels like a real ‘sliding doors’ moment in my mind.
Jack Clarke puts that effort in the bottom corner rather than against the foot of the post we get back to back wins and (from memory) move up to 16th. Instead we concede late penalty and draw.
Pretty sure we had a pretty awful run of results immediately after that. Felt like we could have built some momentum |  | | |

Agree- far too many of them went against us at the key moment for it to be misfortune, but almost every time we got an opportunity handed to us, we didnt take advantage of it either.
Man United gave us two really soft goals, played half the game with a man short and we contrived to give them 3 set piece goals to win it, when that was pretty much the one area of our game that was actually strong.
We played a really poor Spurs side, had 3 really good chances in the first 10 mins, missed all of them, dominated the second half and yet lost 4-1.
We played one of the worst teams the PL has ever seen and managed to put in two of our poorest performances and take just one point. | | | |

Surely got to subtract 2 for the late Wolves winner, when they had all the besst chances. | | | |

Why do we assume we're the only club who've lost out on points through sliding doors moments or whatever? Every club has 'what if' memories. We are where we are for a good reason. | | | |

Um..... OK.... yes..... but you're completely ignoring every other club's near misses/ misfortunes and just focusing solely on our isolated pieces of bad luck. I also never hear of our good fortunes..... like Morsy's last minute deflected equaliser against Saints.
Sample size of 36 games and I reckon we're deservedly where we are. | | | |

The table doesn’t lie and neither does the points total. We’ve dominated 70 mins of one game this season and competed at times in some of the others. But most of the time we’ve not been good enough playing, players, coaching or as a club in general. It was impossible for us to be prepared as we needed to be and so it proved.
I hope and believe that if the owners are still willing and able to support the growth of the club and we get back, we will do better next time.
On the positive side, the club has conducted itself well and all have done their best. The support in the ground, and from what I’ve seen and heard, away has been excellent, even if some armchair warriors on social media could do with having a word with themselves.
There’s a ton of things to learn and improve on from this season and hopefully the club will. Overall, for me the season has been interesting, sobering and disappointing.
We have the points we deserve, no more no less. We take the hit and come back competing better next time. |  | | |

Tis is so true.we made so many mistakes, but that is why we will learn and achieve our goals. | | | |

It’s crazy to think though, that if we had held onto at least half of the points we’ve dropped from winning positions, there would still be a chance that we would stay up at the expense of either Tottenham or Manchester United. |  | | |
