Potter got an unconvincing stay of execution yesterday but he remains a dead man walking. I think we will administer the coup de grâce next weekend.
Hope you are right, just can't see it though.
I brushed off Man United and Arsenal because they were 2 very tough fixtures, but this last week as got the alarm bells ringing for me.
You've got your manager coming out with comments like ' worrying ' after being outplayed on your own patch for most of the game by a championship team. Not a good sign even if his statement was correct Then we make little headway against the team that's bottom with the worst home record in the division.
That wasn't just a fixture against Southampton it was the first real test of our survival hopes.
Unless we do better against the likes of Leeds, West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton, then it's hard to see anything other than championship football next season.
That would represent a complete an utter failure from a position of strength just 18 months ago.
BR has been charge of a steady decline since we played Forest in the cup last season. That's a long period of time in management for a clubs owner not to take any action.
The financial ramifications of relegation could be disastrous for the club. People will say we need a reset. That's fine, I wouldn't argue with that, but you don't want to restart from the championship.
What do you get 1 or 2 attempts to get back, or it's probably years of oblivion.
