Morning everyone. Nope, don't want to talk about lasts horror show, there's plenty of threads to crucify everyone and anyone already.
So, much though we're all pretty gutted at the performances we're paying to watch, it's not actually over. Yet. Still got 9 games to do something. 9 games.
Who knows? Anything can happen. We are Rovers after all.

It’s not over until it’s over, but so far these players haven’t showed us that they’re up for the fight. I actually feel sorry for Joey, it must be so hard trying to fire up this squad of bottle jobs.

Sorry Bags - I know you're post is well intended and all. But for me, it's actually depressing - I want it over already.

Its a funny old game this is true, but you know Einstein's definition of insanity?
Will take a monumental shift to get something out of these players who have been poor all season.

Yeah, our league position isn't the only indicator. Any number of seasons we could be in this position and I'd fancy us to have a fighting chance of staying up. But you can't have a fighting chance without any fight. Our trajectory, our lack of spirit, our fixtures, our form, the whole feeling of the season, all only point in one direction.

Nice sentiments from the op, but I'm afraid it is. Relegation is all sorted bar the pure mathematics.
We've been down for a while.

Agreed. 2 shots on target at home against relegation rivals Swindon doesn't scream of a side fighting for survival

We know how awful the teams around us are, we’ve lost 21 games so far this season and this is probably the first time we’ve dropped into the relegation and woken up to the fact we might not get out of it again.
It would take some doing but we’ve still got 5 home games and we’ve tended to be a bit better at home. 3 wins and a draw could be enough.
It’s a long shot obviously but if we could stay up against the odds even after all the sh** that’s happened over the last 18 months, it would feel so so good.

I cannot for the life of me see where our next point will come from, let alone the wins that we require. Mathematically it’s not over but looking at our squad and our form it looks like mission impossible. Whether or not the players have the fight left in them, it’s become quite clear that they don’t have the quality.

Maybe the fact that pretty much everyone has written them off, it could ease pressure and we see some results?
I think we all know I'm clutching at straws but what the hell right?

It’s hardly endearing the aim of selling season tickets for next year is it ? The way it’s going we could be another Bury

Completely agree with this. There is nothing to indicate we can stay up. We have no cutting edge, no energy, no intensity and no confidence. We are nailed on relegation fodder I'm afraid.

Being 2 goals up at charlton and ending up losing completely killed what little confidence we had, the players still seem shell shocked to me. We are down no doubt about it.

Saturday could also be a further big confidence destroyer - if there is any left. If Sunderland get a couple of goals early on then it could turn into a rout. If this happens then I don't see us getting another point this season.

Should have got Coughlin back as a defensive coach, he would kick some arses, and hard.
