The Shituentes reign is what will take us down, we might be crap but we shouldn’t be this bad in this awful division. His was so tied to his crap tactics and crap system he would never change, over time and bad results that’s impacted the players mentality 

It wasn't only that though, was it?

 

There was the best part of a decade of haphazard recruitment. Being totally financially hamstrung. An odious culture from top to bottom of the club. Disgraceful decision-making at every level, from transfers to managerial appointments to sackings to Seagrave. By the time it came round to Cifuentes, it was no longer a case of 'any half-decent boss could get us going'.

 

Make no mistake, if Rowett keeps us up he's done a very fine job where many other, perfectly acceptable managers wouldn't. Perhaps he's not a valid longer-term option, but when was the last time we made sensible decisions with the bigger picture in mind?

No way are we going down. Oxford and West Brom can't score. We seem to score shit loads, that'll be the difference. 

We are nailed on to go down because we are conceding at least 2 goals per game!

 

If you keep it tight defensively, you have the chance of nicking results even if you aren’t scoring loads. In our case, if you are conceding so many, it puts far too much pressure on the attacking players to score 2 for a draw or 3 (at least) for a win. It is unsustainable.

Or indeed 3 for a loss...

I'm not saying we're not in a mess. 

 

But I think it's a lot easier to solve defensive issues than attacking issues.  We need a few defenders to be fit though

Maybe. I have just not seen a side so awful for so long. It is more about personnel at this point. If Lascelles was fit, I think he and Nelson are a great partnership. Aluko would be better at RB than Ricardo but isn’t being given a chance. But we are stuffed at left back. 
 

It’s got to the point the fans know we are conceding at least twice so the players go out there knowing it too and that is a bad place mentally for the team to be.

Too many games left to make any assumptions, quite likely someone else gets pulled in. Forget other teams, take it game by game and see where we are.

I proscribe to this but i also proscribe to trying to predict the future lol

I quite agree with the majority that it's bleaker than it's perhaps ever been, but 13 games is a long old stretch in football. For context here's the table after 33 games and 46 games the last time we were in this division. Some big swings both ways, as often tends to happen.

Ooo that aged well 🙃

I suppose long term their fans really only care about getting a new owner but still not a record Sheffield Wednesday  want and be relegated by their rivals too..

I hear what you're saying but I think I'd be more worried if we couldn't score, as I'm pretty confident Rowett can make us more solid defensively.

Yeah, I just didn’t want them to be relegated by United but looking unlikely now 😕
