It would be stupid to say that other results would definitely have turned out the same way if we'd gone to Fulham and won, but if you could pin our relegation down to one game, that has to be it.

That game plus the 3 points we should have won against Chelsea a few weeks ago. That would have given the squad a massive boosts going into the last few games.
Na, Chelski home
Yes Chelsea game knocked the stuffing out of us. But we could have beaten Fulham and Palace too. Such a shame.
Chelsea at home was crucial I was listening to the game on the radio and you looked pretty comfortable going into the final minutes of the game. The equaliser was appalling officiating and the rest is history.....
To come away with nothing from that game was a big kick in the balls.
Yeh that was a crap ref.But glad you stayed up see you next season.:wales:
The home defeat to Burnley when we battered them.
Decisions that went against us against Chelsea.
Not beating 10-man Huddersfield.
The Fulham game I think feels that way as it was during the business end but there were other opportunities.
Two Huddersfield games. Burnley home. Fulham away. We could’ve been safe before today..
Everton at home - going once.
Chelsea at home - going twice.
Fulham away - gone.
The fact it was so late in the season makes it the game for me (I did say the one game you can pin our relegation down to) - it was not only that it was such a blow, it also boosted Brighton.Quote:

Yes, fair enough. But perhaps there were opportunities to be going into that game ahead of Brighton rather than chasing them which could have turned the screw even more after we won at their place. All ifs and buts I suppose...Quote:

Felt the last three transfer windows smacked of panic, last minute or second best signings.
We do need to look at our scouting system methods if we are to move on , that includes spending more on young talent , who can step up, or pressure the first team squad.
All these but if we had approached the Fulham game as we did today, not easy psychologically I know, we would have dine it alsoQuote:

Fulham was an opportunity lost but for me it was Chelsea. What a huge boost that would have been a what a kick in the teeth for BHA.
What about Palace at home last week? That would have clinched it.
City won today 'cos we're no longer a Premier League club as of last week. Warnock sucks in the Premier League but we're a Championship club again, as a result Neil has his promotion mojo back.
We're going up, lads! :hehe:
Lack of investment and lack of quality cost us. Not refereeing and linesman’s decisions.
Chelsea because of the way we were cheated.
Fulham because warnock got everything wrong that day when they were there for the taking.
There is no way we would have approached today’s game in the same spirit if we needed to win to stay up.

Exactly, Warnock stifled the team week after week, until it no longer mattered.Quote:

Speaking of which - today's result just goes to show that getting relegated is fantastic for form. Fulham won three on the bounce after they got relegated; we won our only game as a relegated side; and even crappy old huddersfield have avoided defeat for the last 2 games of the season. Maybe next time we go up we should get relegated straight away in the hope that it improves our form to the point where we win enough to actually stay up.
The one decision that cost us our PL status was not buying a striker, last summer, who could play at that level. Lack of investment leads to poverty and failure as we showed.Quote:
