We really arent. We have drawn 7 games and lost 3...it aint good form but it aint relegation form either.
Literally if we won 2 of those drawn games we would be top 10.
Im under no illusions that it aint great but that statement is ridiculous.

I have been think, for a few weeks now, this reminds me of when an underdog gets promoted the the Premier league and beats one of the big clubs, or thrashes someone, in the first handful of games.
All the pundits say how refreshing it is then it's 4 games without a win, then 8, then 10. But it will click again...
They almost always end up getting relegated. That's exactly what happened to us.

It's literally relegation form if your in the bottom 4, which we seriously could be this time next week.

Seven points from 10 games is 0.7 points a match, which is very much “relegation form”.

But we didnt. Yes we didnt win them either but simple fact is these draws can prove vital come the end of the season.
To say we are in a relegation battle is daft though. The teams we have lost too occupy the top 6.
The doom and gloom on here is remarkable. I dont like watching this football atm but I genuinely think a positive result will kick start things...not saying it will be rosy and we will get promoted etc before im set upon!
Think 442 has to stay to accommodate the players we have.

2 points off the drop, so I'm not sure he's the one making the ridiculous statement.
Over a quarter of the way through the season now, this isn’t just a bad early run. We absolutely have to find a way to beat Exeter on Tuesday as we have a tough couple of matches later in October.
Exeter a tough match too. Won 2-0 at Barnsley today and eighth in the table.

There are 33 games to go....
I think you’re confusing relegationbattle with relegated. No one is saying it’s all over and we’re going down, but during those 33 games (I think it’s actually 34) that we have to go we are absolutely going to have to turn this form around or we will be. That’s a relegation battle and we are definitely in it now.

Two poor sides faced off in a spectacle of mid-third-tier-football this afternoon, which produced nothing of real note besides a phantom Miles Leaburn goal that was adjudged not to have crossed the line. But who knows, because the referee got clattered just over the halfway line and had to go off? The linesman was within distance, but he couldn’t be sure based on the angle. Hey-ho. A new referee came on and tried to pick up the pieces.
Absolutely nothing else of note happened. Like two grand master chess champions on ketamine, the two possession-hungry sides cancelled each out. Ben Garner failed to engineer a way through again, taking off Dobson for MacGrandles, and Sessignon for Clare, with ten minutes to go, then taking off Kirk for CBT a little after, and giving two and a half minutes to lil’ Payne to try and force a breakthrough. We picked up a point, but it really wasn’t enough. Lincoln were there for the taking, had we tested their error-prone keeper more we may have come away with all three points.
The last fifteen minutes were hapless for both sides.
At least we kept a clean sheet.
Lincoln 0 Charlton 0
Over to you.
WTF is going on tonight with the Post Match Thread (Dont think I havent seen it) - Clearly zero communication between any of you Mods - Are you looking to emulate the Charlton First Team, because if you are, you're doing a great job!!
Can’t get the staff these days par for the course 😉.

Exactly, we didn't lose them or win them.
You were the one saying "but if we won two ..." and all I was saying was you could turn that around and say "but if we lost two ...".
At the end of the day the table doesn't lie, and no wins in 8 games tells it's own story. We appear to be getting worse and not better.

Half teams we have beaten occupy the top spot, might as well make us champions now.

IMO we didn't really merit the 2 wins we got- Derby should have been 3 or 4 up at HT and Plymouth result greatly affected by the sending off. However majority of the season is still to play.

Nope im not. The guy said we are in relegation battle. We are not...not after 12 games.
Was at the game today as it’s local. No positives today, despite playing 4-4-2 we still tried to play Garner Ball and it still came unstuck when it was played to feet to Stockley and to a certain extent Leaburn. The wingers couldn’t beat their men and the odd early cross was missed by the front two. The back four and central two did okay but it was a very poor Lincoln side. We simply don’t have the players to play Garner’s style of football. With the reduced budget I don’t expect any decent reinforcements coming in January. Roll on to the next owner, let’s hope it’s not a crook or an egomaniac.

Did Plymouth having ten men really change much.
I mean their player only got sent off because his hand got in the way of Kirk's effort, so it was 2-0 regardless - Not to mention them having eleven players wouldn't have made much difference to Clare's strike either.
Positives - Clean Sheet, has been much needed for the Defence - We look more balanced with two proper Full-Backs in Egbo and Sessegnon - Leaburn continues to perform well @ this level, Stockley played a lot better today - 4-4-2 actually looked our best formation so far this season - We actually put in a performance longer than 45mins
Negatives - We still cant find the back of the net for toffee - Our wingers have their own huge fragilities, none of them command a starting spot - Our subs were what killed any chances of us winning
Neutral - Referee got far too involved in the game, second half was so stop start!!
We're 18th in league one mate with 2 wins in 12, a piss poor squad beyond Dobson and Leaburn who will be off if they have ambitions beyond third division mediocrity and 1 shot on target in 90 mins led by manager who seemingly can't win games hence our perilous position.
And all orchestrated by an ego driven single minded owner who has managed to further erode our clubs prospects in a way that seemed nigh impossible when he took over.
There are no positives mate.
There are always positives in life if you look for them - I've had far too much shite in my life the last decade to let negative shit get me down - If people want to be miserable all the time... Find another hobby, it ain't worth it!!
It's not about wanting to be miserable it's about calling out the procession of bullshitters/ crooks/ and Walter Mitty's who've dragged us down from what Curbishely built in a relatively short time and keep eroding a club that's been in my blood for 3 generations and who where i've been going for 35 years.
So it's not a "hobby" as you so flippantly put it but crack on perceiving keeping a clean sheet against Lincoln as a positive.

It illustrates that we are missing a 20 plus goalscorer. That would change a lot of the draws into wins. The people/person responsible for not trying to address this are clueless. I have known this from the start of the season, how am I supposed to get engaged as a fan by this?
