after 17 games in 2018, the last time we got relegated.
CHRIS MARTIN IS SO BAD,  WE NOW PRAISE HIM FOR MAKING A RUN.

But Parker's doing a great job isn't he?

Couldn't believe that Parker love in post the other day - need to face reality. He's made us hard to beat but equally made us hard to win.

Once he got the players in there's no doubt we've improved. Tony needs to pull his finger out

Give it a bloody rest. 5 minutes after the game has finished you start the same old record.

But we look infinitely better than we did at this time two years ago. Back then we looked like relegation fodder, and a laughing stock. Now we don't. I cannot understand how it is possible for anyone that watched us back then and watch us now to conclude that we are worse this season. That is absolutely beyond belief for me.

its the same old record because its the same old result. the big difference now is we are no longer in touching distance of 17th. we are cut adrift.

We've also got two games in hand? Not sure how you can blame Parker for anything today but then you hate him so I'm so you'll try

we couldnt defend last time but we did have goals in us. weve gone full circle and dont either bother starting games with a striker anymore. and we might be better this season, but so are the other teams, hence we have now been cut adrift

Nonsense we're not cut adrift. Let's see where we are after 38 games. That's all the matters.

we have played the same amount of games as 17th place burnley who are 4 points ahead of us.

2 games in hand on Brighton still and 5 points off them. If we beat them and then WBA well likely be above them. Their next 3 games are us then Tottenham and Liverpool. By that point it will be the end if the window and we hopefully will have a striking option on board...from there we just have to do better than them for the rest of the season. Very plausible that we should do so

We've played two fewer games than Brighton, do try to keep up

On all fairness that's down to TK not buying another proper goalscorer.

We look hard to beat but when I re-watch previous games, I just don't ever see us do enough to win games. Do you? Fair enough if you do, but relying on Cav, Kamara, Mitro and the like to score from one, at a push, two chances a game is a tall order. It pains me to watch this side be so close to being so good. But we just don't get those margins in our favour. Whether its a daft handball, a contentious offside, or swindling chances like penalties, it feels like the only consistent thing we do is miss the opportunities we do get to close out games. After watching WestBrom, Brighton, then us, all go the way we hoped it didn't today, I'm super deflated and if im honest, resigned to relegation, albeit, still pro Parker, and still immensely proud of this team but I just can't see us winnign enough games and other teams dropping that many points we need them to.

we have played the same amount of games as 17th place burnley who are 4 points ahead of us.

So four points with more than half the season left to play equals us being cut adrift. Interesting.

yep, thats what cut adrift means in football. need more than one result to go above the team  just above you in the league

21 games to play and we need to get 4 points more than Burnley and we've also got two games in hand over Brighton, but yeah by Bens logic we might as well forfeit now

Having won 2 from 17. Its becoming quite a tall ask, don't you think?
