Betting suspended on Everton…

And Forest

It's a bit of a killer blow getting another deduction. The first time around we expected a reaction from the squad and got one but having it happen twice... well it's going to be hard to regain that same level of motivation for a second time, especially as we are in worse form than we were previously.

5 points from safety. It's doable.

Excellent point against an excellent team, a team that could well win the title this season.

Another point towards our survival; another point towards defying the corrupt PL.

I'm proud of our players and our manager.

I suspect we'll get another 6 points knocked off after tomorrow's announcement. I'm not sure if we've got the stomach to come back from that.

Stop trying to take our points ya bad biffs

They lost at home to burnley tbf. But just from watching them no matter who they are playing they give a decent account of themselves and i still regard them as one of the relegation teams. But by no means certain.

Ultimately it will come down to their home games v Brentford, Bournemouth, Sheffield United, Fulham, Forest and....Everton.

They could well win 3/4 of those so then need a "shock" win and something away and that will get them into the low 30s which will be a give them a fighting chance.

People have to remember the amount on this thread in August saying they wouldn't even make 20 points. I was one of them.

Well, we're currently one point (plus goal difference) ABOVE the relegation zone.

So with another 5 point deduction we would only be 4 points from safety, would we not?

I'm basing it on us and Forest getting a 10 points, putting us on 7 points and burnley 18th on 12.

 

[deipnosophist]

It's so

And I keep getting told I am a conspiracy nut-job for contending the PL want us relegated

 

[deipnosophist]

Systematic

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

We'll be fine. Or we're doomed. I'm betting on one or the other.

 

[Mrbluenose]

Given the PL's track record of making things up as they go this deduction is likely to be 15 points.

Guilty of the same offence a 2nd time means a harsher punishment is required.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

If both ourselves and Forest received a 10 points deduction, that would still only leave us 5 points off safety.

We can do this. We really can stage the greatest escape in football history, but it is absurd that it's come to this.
