In just a few short weeks, we've gone from a level of optimism not seen in a very long time to a feeling of disappointment, anger and general apathy by what seems to be the majority of supporters.
We've had dips in form before but I don't think the resulting meltdown has been to the levels we're seeing now.
Will 6-7 points from the next three games make everything peachy again for the majority or has the rot set in?

I believe that return,particularly bearing in mind the opposition,probably would.... but I honestly can’t see us achieving the necessary results.

We will do well to gather 2 points from Leeds (a) Sheff Utd (a) WBA (h).

I'm not sure 'freefall' is a word I would use but I do believe that the ridiculous pre-season hysteria has been unveiled for what it was. I also understand it when younger fans get all worked up and carried away by the excitement of pre-season but I can never understand how those who have supported the club for a few more years have not yet learnt from experience.

1979/80...Sell Mick Robinson after finishing 7th and fail to invest.
1994 Baxi arrive with a 5 year plan to reach the Prem. Move on without achieving that goal.
2005 Billy Davies creates a squad which needs a nudge for a tilt at promotion...fail to invest.
2007/8 Just before Christmas sees us top of the second tier for the first time in over 30 years (or was it 50)... the worst January transfer window ever!
2018 Finish 7th and recoup more than twice the money in one transfer fee than in any previously...fail to invest

Chickens
Roost
etc

......Serial underinvestors
 
Always happened at pne. Any decent money offered sees players leave.

To the list above you could probably add, lawrenson, gemmil, Bruce, mooney, thomas, kilbane and Tony Morley

If at a few points in our history we had kept squads together and invested / added we would have returned to the top tier many years ago. Under the current finances if a player gets offered three times his wages or more, naturally there going to go. We can’t afford to compete and the rest of the higher echelons is moving further away.

Offers of such bull of, free premier league tickets to those who buy season tickets and some of the other follow pne to the premier league bull is ill judged as it raises false hopes and creates the frustration we see around us now.

For PNE I think the championship is our “premier league” anything else is currently financially unobtainable.

for 'majority of posters' I would suggest 'majority of posters'......which is two different things.
 
The players are good enough to be a least mid table , the 2 things that could keep us at the bottom are AN going into self sabotage mode (a limit on how long he is given should prevent that)and/ or the fans turning on the players and it badly effecting the confidence levels (maybe the fans inside Deepdale need to consider that before going overboard with the bad vibes during the game).
