Saw my first game in 76. Swindon 2-0. Sammy Morgan scored both. I am a not Palace and 4 in 23 is unacceptable.
For the record, I went back through the games we played in those 23 and have amassed the following;
Won
Newcastle (A)
Burnley (A)
Norwich (A)
Arsenal (H)
Drew
Palace (A)
Newcastle (H)
Southampton (A)
Leicester (A)
Wolves (A)
Sheff Utd (A)
Watford (H)
West Ham (A)
Villa (H)
Chelsea (H)
Lost
Everton (A)
Man Utd (H)
Chelsea (H)
Man City (H)
Liverpool (H)
Man Utd (H)
Palace (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Everton (A)
That makes it 22 points from 23 games, which is around the "point per game" you generally need to survive. There are a couple of really disappointing results in there, but most of those came last January (defeat to Bournemouth, draw with Villa) and February (draw with Watford, defeat to Palace). Other than that those results are pretty much what I would have expected or better. Can you single out which of the other 19 results you wish to take particular umbrage at?
Note also all of those four wins have come since June, and we've won 4 of our last 14, of which the only games we've lost have been to Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Everton and Man Utd (twice). Who of those should we be beating in your opinion?

strong and stable with me, or...
So it’s 22 pts from 23 games in 2020.
If you make it 24 games, it’s 25pts & 5 wins.
Not ideal, we hit a major slump at the start of the year, but not unacceptable either.

Everton are the only current PL team that we have lost away to in the league this year.

Looks like Figgis wants to join the exclusive Dwayne and Junior club. Anyone can be a member, very few want to.

I was at that game in 1976, I thought the score was 4-0
He’s thinking of Sammy Morgan 2 - 0 his CP, under lights at the Goldstone Feb’76. Still painful.
You want him to feck off I reckons.

I rremember Wardy beating 3/Swindon players in the box before sitting the keeper down that day. He was mustard.

Maybe so but the thread is 4 wins in 23 is that good for a crap team. You must be happy with that then. Get real man for the love of God.

We are not as clinical as we should be but I am bloody loving being an Albion fan under Potter. I clearly remember where we came from and I am being entertained in the PL by a team that look like it belongs there. What’s not to like? I accept we aren’t going to do any better than survive, anything better is a bonus. The change in the style of football is fantastic. We will get better and better imo
Anyone who is unhappy really should consider supporting another, more successful team, imo
