Although there are still 14 games left, I and many others are now resigned to relegation. Especially as Everton have pulled away and Wolves look to be heading in the right direction.
But do we think KMc and the players deep down feel the same? Obviously they aren't going to publicly admit defeat, but if privately they feel we're done then it could be a very messy end to the season.
Hopefully the players will come out swinging against Villa, but I do fear that we'll go down with a whimper. |  | | |  |

The players should give everything in these last games (not that I’m saying they haven’t been). For some, maybe most, it will be the last time they play at this level. This season has been a big learning experience for everyone. We now know what it takes to swim in this pond and hopefully we’ll be much better prepared for the next time, be that next season or a few years down the line. It’s been an experience for sure, not one that’s always been enjoyable, but I’m still glad we’re here and still in the mix. Can the manager and players find it in them to pull it off? The signs don’t look promising but we know they can occasionally raise their game to the level required...just need to do it in most of the remaining games which will be a big ask. |  | | |

I think this team continues to play with belief.
There's no evidence they've given up.
As a fan, I haven't either. What we've achieved over the last couple of years is incredible. It's not impossible they'll do it again.
Personally I came into this season with a simple outlook. To enjoy the ride whatever it brings. For me, that's not going to change. This doesn't mean I don't care....it doesn't mean I don't feel it when things like yesterday happen.
It just means I'm sanguine about it.
We're in the Prem....playing against the best. Punching at a level we haven't fought at for a long, long time. Both our players and our manager are learning as are we what this league is all about. I'm not writing them off, they deserve better than that from us.
We go again and then again and then again. |  |

I do feel yesterday was the nail in the coffin for us regardless of how many games are left, however I doubt the players and management will throw in the towel. Sadly, whether we want to admit it or not we just aren’t good enough for this division and the league doesn’t lie after 24 games. Pound for pound Wolves have a better squad than us and will stay up. It will be the 3 promoted sides going back down IMO. The GD is woeful for those 3 sides too, that’s a telling story in itself. [Post edited 2 Feb 6:59]

I had hoped that we will finish 17th that would do me just fine.
There is a long way to go I guess anything is possible. |  |

We probably have to win 5 and draw 2 at least out of 14 doubtful I'd say,
Wolves going forward have so much more than us going forward sadly,
Them playing villa after a European game perfect foil for them I had them down to win if we done our job nothing lost we didn't,
I'm not giving up but would have to be such a massive turn around, the Gulf is massive,
Wolves are use to this league, looks a bit bleak after our loss because they won, |  | | |

I wish teams weren't allowed to change managers mid season. West Ham, Everton and Wolves would be far worse off plus we may have beaten Southampton yesterday. | |

Your last sentence nailed it. | | | |

I was concerned after some of the recent games where the players heads dropped as soon as the opposition scored, but yesterday I didn't see that. That has given hope the players are still giving it their best.
Trouble for me (as I said on another thread) it's starting to remind me of Burnley last season. Players giving it a go, mgr saying we're learning, player after each game saying we know we need to do better, but ultimately they failed. Especially from approx Feb last season, the constant defeats finally shattered the Burnley players confidence and they simply turned up resigned to relegation and the season couldn't end soon enough. |  | | |

On the plus side, it's not like we went and signed a couple of players from that Burnley te... | |
