2025-26 Relegation thread

[BRFC4EVA]

Not much else to say. We are in serious trouble. No creativity, no threat, no goals.

I don't think it is too early to open this, we are in a relegation battle already.

Experienced players let go to be replaced by vastly inferior players.

Venkys and all their minions OUT!

Nailed on certainty this year.

It begins 🙂

lets see in 10 games,we`ll be able to gauge it then

[Bronzed A Donis]

Surprised it took so long

These two awful performances have given us chance to see the whole squad in action.

I just went back and looked at the squad we went down with in 2017.

If those two sides (2017 and 2025) were playing each other this weekend, I don't think there would be much between them. That side we went down with had 12 goals for Graham and 10 for Sam Gallagher in it, I can't see us having two players who hit double figures this season. Grim.

I said after Saturday, we won't amass 30 points this season and I am sticking with that. 

The squad is bloody awful.. 

If Travis does go this week , I might revise it to 25 points.. 

We will sign someone a lot worse!

Can't keep a clean sheet and struggle to score more than one.

In some ways, we were unlucky to go be relegated, shenanigans with Huddersfield and Birmingham. 

But this team will be down by Easter!

Has Jim retired? ;-))

It’s not the real relegation thread unless Jim starts it. Accept no imitations.

[Athlete]

The 2017 side was a lot better than this..just hope theres three worse sides

[Norbert Rassragr]

You'll hate me for this, but I put £8 on us to go down at 9/2. £2 on another team, but I forgot who. I'd want to be compensated for absolute clown show in the boardroom and on the pitch.

It’s not a nailed on certainty guys 🤣

We have 45 games ahead of us and a relatively competitive squad. And a solid experienced manager.

Don’t think we’re coming anywhere close to play offs obviously, but there are at least 8 clubs I wouldn’t swap our squad+manager with. As for ownership, I’d swap with the 22 (all excluding Chansiri).

Too early for this!

I admire your  positivity but I will be amazed if we don't finish rock bottom..
