We'll finish 16th comfortably.

How do we get on in the cup?

Bit harsh. I’m like the OP - I like to look at what’s in our control and plan for that - even from a worst case scenario basis. It just feels more positive to take control and understand the challenge.

I guess different people like to look at problems in different ways.

It just felt it was a massive knee jerk to the news at the time. Until we know what, if any deduction we have there's no point trying to guess what the net table looks like. We're all pissed off but it's a fucking grind when people add more to the already relentless negativity surrounding the club.

Crack on and play "guess the points deduction" if you want, I don't think it helps anyone to do it though.

Well, relegation zone it is then. Considering we've lost twice to Luton already this season then it's probably not a great sign for the game away from home. See Awoniyi is back for Forest as well which is a shame.

Hopefully not but let's say we get another 10 point deduction and Forest are also are given a 10 point deduction, it'd look like this:

16 Luton 19 points
17 Burnley 12 points
18 Forest 10 points
19 Sheffield United 10 points
20 Everton 8 points

As absurd as being deducted 20 points in one season would be, we'd still somehow stand a chance.

Yeah the deduction, another breach and a poor run has knocked the stuffing out of me.

But referring back to the Deduction thread, if the other 18 teams are compliant and always have been, why have they all stopped spending money all at the same time, like never before?

Is there a scenario where administration, writing off most of our debt as a result, a points deduction, relegation and then being bought out by new owners with our new ground in place isn't necessarily the end of the world?

Yep, the 10 point deduction is taking its toll - on me, anyway

Relying on the appeal

I'll admit now I was wrong about Luton.

Think we need some points back!

I think their manager is proving to be very good

Luton have peaked too early and have all the top sides still to play away from home.

As long as we don't get a further deduction we'll finish above them

I'd like to say it's in our own hands, but given the second charge I don't actually think that's true.

If we don't get any points back but avoid a second deduction I think we can finish above them as it'll be hard for them to keep up this level.

Should we receive a second deduction I can only really see us going down.

I do think we go down

Another points deduction and we go, can't see us stringing 5/7 wins or what ever is was like in Nov/Dec. Seems ages ago . Think we possibly could catch Burnley . Just think it would sap the whole club fan base .
