Agreed. But after only 11 games?

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

It could've easily been us around two seasons back, puts Hughton's ability to keep us up into perspective.

 

[portslade seagull]

Well at least it means there is one team currently worse than us. We will probably be nice and give them a Pt or 3 next week though

 

[Stat Brother]

Worst fred of the year.

Interesting that only 11 games in and some people seem more focused on the failings of Sheffied Utd and Fulham.

Masking what a pretty poor start we've made? Seems like some are relying on the failings of others already to keep us up rather than our own inadequacies.

I'm not more focused on anything at all, I was merely curious about how their campaign to date compares with other poor starts, specifically I wanted to compare them to that infamous Derby side.

 

[Bozza]

Anyway, the good news for Sheffield United is one side has had fewer points after 12 games than they do.

In 2009/10, the twats were on -2 points after 12 games. They'd won two and drawn one, but were carrying a deduction of 9 points.

Did anyone else notice the ref blow full time on 93.04 at St Mary`s , 56 seconds early ?

Don't need a crystal ball to see where their first win is coming from...

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

The worst ever it seems. Even if they turn things around today and win, they'd be joint worst after 12 games with...

Everton 1994-95 - 4 points
QPR 2012-13 - 4 points

A whole bunch of sides has had a mere 5 points after 12 games, including Aston Villa (2015-16), Crystal Palace (2017-18) and Fulham (2018-19).

Even the 11-points-in-a-season Derby side of 2007/08 had 6 points at this stage.

So, looking forward to next week, we're ****ed aren't we?

Yes.

We are specialists at losing to teams on a bad run.


Nailed on away win.

Have those things ever worked

 

[Icy Gull]

Nothing surer. Wonder who we'll blame for this one?

I am keeping my powder dry but I do have someone in mind

That’s encouraging it’s only “someONE”

 

[GloryDays]

We all know when and where their first three points is coming

If it's any consolation we will dominate the game and lose by a more than debatable VAR penalty which will be conceded in their half and awarded the following day.

I think I heard shefield United need to win 1/3 games till the end of the season to have a chance of staying up.

Calling all statos to clarify.

Worse than that. They’ll need around 1.4 pts per game to stand a chance.

 

[The Fits]

Maybe Berge will want to jump ship in January.

31 points would give them a 1% chance of staying up, which would require 10 wins from their last 27 games.

Home draw will be deemed to be One Point Gained for the Albion. Ever if the truth is way WAY worse
