The table doesn't lie - one win, four defeats. Yes it could be worse but is not good.
Lets hope things turn for the better, starting tomorrow and we can forget it come May.
We are talking more historic shitness here...in all our FL history since 1920....you will only find 4 seasons where less points were taken and 3 where the total was equalled after 5 games.
Let's get a bit of perspective on these seasons ...61/62 opened with 2 draws and 3 defeats.....Bert's Babes, very young side, no pressure on a manager clearly making improvements, safe mid table finish.
80/81....Bob Smith, previous near success, popular manager but spent a bit 5, opening defeats....sacked.
93/94...Prem...1 point taken from first 5 games, but we all knew it would be a struggle...no pressure on Gorman, he could have jumped with Hoddle, but had some goodwill, relegated.
98/99...2 points from first 5...McMahon survived that for a couple of games, but soon sacked after fan protest.
What about the 3 points after 5 games seasons?
55/56 widely regarded as battling with last season as worst ever....the Board don't appoint manager, but feel they can do the job themselves...bottom of Div 3S apply for re-election.
56/57 initially Board carry on same policy, but after 3 points in 5 appoint Bert Head...start of an upward trend.
2010/11 Widely regarded as the worst season in STFC history.
I'm inclined to think a horror show tomorrow will see di Canio consigned to the dustbin of STFC history, a point and he goes on.
