There is no cohesion. I don’t disagree that our squad is poor however these players are on a lot of money and they can barely keep possession. We must be one of the worst in the league for ball retention given how easy we lose it.

Even in that winning streak in December you could see it was still a big problem.
The third goal against Newcastle was a shock to be honest

Need to find some context here. We had one available central midfield player. I was at the Spurs game a few weeks back where we played the off the park for most of the game. Let’s see how we look when we get a couple of bodies back

I’m talking about overall not just a couple of games mate. Even when we have had players back in midfield we still lack cohesion most of the time imo. Outplaying teams is more of rarity for us than the norm. We give it away far too easy mate, it’s frustrating to watch.

Here's my simplistic take on this so I'm taking a deep breath.

First and foremost we get all ten points reinstated and we stay up.

Based on my belief that unlike past seasons when there has been six or so clubs squabbling for survival this time its accepted by many that Burnley and Blades are the two clubs going down. As a consequence I think this season seventeenth place will need 40 points or near as damn it.

Us getting ten points back puts us on 29 points means we need eleven points from the remainder of the season. Of the eight teams above us, we have beaten five of them already and drawn and beaten the two clubs below. I'm of the opinion once the appeal decision is announced and clarity has been achieved we will get those points we need to stay up.

Pure supposition on my part but one I'm sticking to.
 

10 pts deduction possibly/probably more, 777 being rejected = Administration = further 9pts deducted.
No owners No board No chairman in all honesty I don't think it matters what we do on the pitch relegation is unavoidable on the path we are treading.
Lets just hope we have a club come the summer, I really think things are that bad!
 
One major concern is you wonder how sustainable Dyche's football is over a 38 game season. It must be knackering to only have the ball 30% of the time in practically every game we play. How did his Burnley side fare towards the end of seasons?

You’ve just made half of those scenarios up though.

And what happens if we dont get all 10 points back and possibly 5 or 6 in addition?

Relegated, Branthwaite and Pickford sold in the summer, Virginia and Keane promoted to starters next season, club enters administration and starts next year in the Championship on -9 points. Likely finish next season around mid-table and end up becoming established as a Championship outfit.

Its an opinion with a very high probability, certainly a lot higher than getting 10pts back, there is no way the Premier league backs down on this now in my opinion and I haven't read anything positive on 777, so like I say the path we are on looks very bleak

Got relegated once in 2014. His highest finish is 7th.
