If we are still adrift by mid January then we should just rip the plaster off and play the kids in preparation for the inevitable

Best to assume we are going down and any thing else would be a gratefully refeived, unexpected bonus. Its us, Burnley and Wolves for the drop.
As everyone says, we need to win 3 or more on the trot with a team that always concedes and has only one goal scorer to rely on. Then we habe to have any transfers thru the door in the first week of Jan. highly unlikely. We all know it. Fair play for those in denial or the eternal optimists but sooner reality is faced, the better.

Unfortunately, 3 out of the last 4 games are at home so that's a problem irrespective of the fact we have got 3 points from the lastc18 and have a negative useless manager. And we all know how the Wolves away game is going to go, their only win of the season. So 4 games maybe 3 points with 3 home draws, no wins, again. No clean sheets. We need 9 wins to get to 40 points. As we have 3 wins in 17 or 17.64% I can't see us getting 9 or 47.36% in the last 19.

Unfortunately the numbers say we are already buggered. In the last 10 seasons, no club 5 or more points above the relegation zone after 17 games has been relegated.

It could already be too late to convince good one's even on the 1st Jan now. Such a dire desperate situation.

Wolves have been a three point leg-up for every club bar Spurs and Brighton. We can't afford to mess that up.
Then beating Fulham and Forest would be double value as they are among those we have most chance of catching.
They have to have players through the door on 1 January. Waiting for 'value' will most likely be a false economy and our fate will be sealed before players turn up.

Fulham (h) / Brighton (h) / Wolves (a) / Forest (h) / Spurs (a) is that run of fixtures.
Whether we stay up or not will be decided by mid-January with those results and the success or failure in sorting out the weaknesses in the squad in time for the tougher games. At least two forwards (striker and left winger) and a CB needed.
This, this, and thrice this.
In 6 games time we'll know our fate one way or another.
Yup absolute must wins now. That was a pretty tough run of fixtures we’re just out of and we have to take 7-9 points minimum from these next four even if someone loses all their form we are basically 10 points back from most of them and basically relying n someone’s arse falling out as well as our form picking up. We are almost having to hope for a golden bullet player to rock up at the start of the transfer window.
This is a very bad season in this division to be poor as there are only two other poor sides as opposed to most seasons when there would be plenty more sides on 15-16 points at the moment. Everyone is up in the mid to low 20s which is a bit unusual. Yes it’s unlucky but we need er should have been in this situation in the first place- thanks Sullivan.
Draws aren’t any good any more.

The problem we have is Nuno has royally fucked up form leading up to the window opening where better players will not want to arrive now we are getting cut adrift. That was Nunos responsibility to keep us with those above us but now it's turned in to a disaster situation. Can't blame players for not joining a seemingly doomed situation that's worsened since he took over from Potter. Games like Leeds, Brentford, Bournemouth are the types of games he should have gone hell for leather to capitalise yet he chose to dick around when we couldn't afford that luxury. Only got himself to blame now for the hole he's partly dug himself. 🕳

Unfortunately if we do just scrape up, next year will be commencing with exactly the same ambition. The geniuses know no other way, they find it impossible to even admit they possibly could have made a little misjudgment or two over the last 15 years.

We and everyone at the club knows we need 2 or signings who will improve the first team to give us a chance, any other club in our position has these players lined up to sign in the first week of the window to maximize our chances and to get them settled in asap.
Nuno should have identified the players he needs and be banging on Sullivan's door demanding them asap.
Sullivan will fuck around as usual, wait until the last week of the window and sign a couple of loans who either won't settle in until it's too late or will join a long list of failed January loans.

Gb hammer, yes our next 4 games are "winnable", but id guess all 4 clubs are looking at us in the same way.
I guarantee here and now that wolves first win comes against us. Thats like buying money

Next four winnable. Laughable as we have 3 wins in total of 17.
We are down!

It’s the West Ham way. A couple of times in our past we have been on the cusp of greatness but never took the ball and ran. 85/86 we had a great team and with a few decent signings we could have competed at the top again the following season but the board kept their hands in their pockets, the same after the conference win, a few signings and who knows what we could have achieved but the board, and Moyes, thought they knew better. Like I say it’s not a new thing and we shoot ourselves in the foot a lot.
