Relegation a possibilty?

[Monkey boy]

So ive read in various threads by numerous posters and even our very own Hugo has mentioned that we could get dragged into a relegation scrap if things don't pick up and quickly. Do people really think that this is a possibility? if we were to lose the next 3 games how much trouble would we be in?

My fear is that we haven't got the players with any heart so if we did get sucked into a scrap we would be pretty much be nailed on certainties for the drop. We have 14 points from 11 games which if projected over the season would get us 48 points so pretty much safe, so are people fretting over nothing or should we be at least concerned?

If we keep defending the way we have been, it's a very real possibility that we will at least get sucked into a relegation battle. I think it's highly unlikely we will actually get relegated though.

No.

 

[Sp3akerboxxx]

Personally I think not.

However, I have seen teams supposedly "too good to go down" get relegated both in the epl and abroad.

It is highly unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

If we continue on the same trajectory then yes. If we buck up our ideas then no.

 

[Gbspurs]

If we keep losing games then of couse its possible. In reality i dont believe we are at risk.

well if we go down you get what you ask for and at least ticket prices will be cheaper.

but we wont go down, i hope.

We've lost at home to some poor teams, surely at this rate we will be dragged into a battle of epl survival...

I would not favour our fighting spirit if that time comes.

no

 

[Dr Know]

Anything is possible but based on past history (especially the 2 points from 8 games saga) I feel confident enough to say no

 

[mpickard2087]

Nah, cant see it happening. Finishing outside the top half is possible though which I think would see Poch gone.

 

[Grey Fox]

The simple answer is yes.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Are we as poor as Burnley/Hull/Palace/QPR - definitely not. If we had to play any of those teams in a relegation battle would I fancy us to win in current form, probably not.

 

[srups34]

In my opinion it won't happen, there is no way we will finish with less points than QPR, Villa, Hull, Burnley, Palace or Leciester.

Silly thread. Is relegation a possibility? Of course it is. Is relegation likely? NOT AT ALL.

 

[tiger666]

Yes

 

[dricha1]

4 points off a top 4 place, 5 points above relegation. Not to mention there's 8 other teams below us.

You think we have worse current form than bloody BURNLEY? Damn, you're just full of optimism.

Forest were always the template for a club that was 'too good to go down' being relegated wasn't it?
