We are very obviously going to be relegated but 12:26 - Feb 12 with 10304 viewsIllinoisblue

Does anyone else have those delusional moments when you think ‘if we can somehow scrape a couple of wins in the next couple of weeks we might have a chance...”

We can barely manage to create chances let alone score let alone even look like winning a game but you never know. Funny old game and all that.

Ipswich 0 Derby 4 it is then. Lawrence, Waghorn and Marriott on the scoresheet

I know what you mean but I honestly gave up on those moments 6 weeks or so ago. I am consoling myself by imagining our romp to the L1 title next season, that's my own delusion now.

Unfortunately not, I accepted relegation after we lost at home to Bristol City and I haven't wavered since. No doubt i'll get pelters for that, but hey ho.

Both are similarly unlikely, I'm just not sure which is most fanciful.

Still, it's a return trip to Sincil Bank, eh?

We need a couple of wins to have a chance of having a chance. Can't see it tbh. It'll be a long, slow goodbye from our home of nearly 20 years.

And a return to the ground of my all-time favourite Ipswich game.

I don't think you will get pelters but I have not given up and will not give up until it is impossible.
I still hope to have a League trip to Carrot Rud next season.

Fair enough PJH, and I admire those that still feel there is a realistic chance of getting out of this mess. I just can't see us stringing a few games together of 'decent' results. Even a mini 4/5 game unbeaten run would help, but I just don't feel like we're capable of that at the minute.

Still, let's see how it plays out, as others have said, it'll be one almighty party if we do manage it!

Yes, I go into every game thinking we can win it (not that we will win it, but that with a bit of luck we could do).

And then i think about momentum, and what a win or 2 could do, and then look how rubbish Rotherham, Bolton and Reading are (conveniently forgetting that we are worse) and dare to dream.

I think this diamond with Judge in the whole and 2 up front suits our squad and should lead to more goals (which admittedly isn't difficult), but it will be far too little, far too late.

I've got vague memories of going down there and getting undone by a long range effort near the end of the match. It obviously wasn't 91/92 so may have been a bit later at the start of Burley's reign. Anyone remember such a game, or am I going mad?

Definitely.

I've had relegation as an expectation since we sacked Hurst.

I've had it as a certainty since we lost to Accrington.

There's always hope though!

Completely with the OP on this. Is been obvious for a while that we're going down. We'll be down easily by Easter with a pathetic total and end up 15+ points from safety.

But yep, each week I think just that. My versions is slightly different - if we can somehow manage to scrape 3 wins in the next 5 then we can get out of this. Highly unlikely that it'll happen of course and we'll do well to win once in the next 5, but a bit of me still thinks it can (which it can, but won't )

Relegation?

Following Sears's injury I think we may struggle to make the play-offs.

That's it thanks. I'd never have found it without the year. Pissed me off that did - we were in with a good chance of the POs that year, but had a rotten last month or so to the season.



Edit found that here https://www.southendtimeline.com/1996.htm. Which also tells me that the Spice Girls performed at the "legendary" Radio One Roadshow in Southend that year. Oh, and Southend Leisure and Tennis Centre opened. TWTD.

I said to myself we needed to beat Millwall and Rotherham to kick start the revival and we'd survive. We didn't. My last string of hope was at the weekend...a win against them would have been the ultimate confidence booster. We played well but still lost.

I'm not one to ever give up, but it's all but done now...the Sears injury the icing on the cake. We cannot catch a break.
