Effectively John, a nine point deduction means we have lost three games before we even kick a ball! Or, we have to win three games before we even start to get any points; given how hard we all know this season is going to be anyway, just to stay up...
...I think we're looking at a long game here, maybe aiming to bounce straight back up after a tough relegation season, and move on from there. Even if we do get relegated though, it'll be valuable experience if we can keep the squad together, and make us more than able to win promotion again.
Well, we've got to be positive, eh?!
