Just read the club statement on the official site about the "troubles" on Sat and I am sure we would all agree with the sentiment.
However the last paragraph in the statement talking about the fans did make me shake my head,
But we urge them to absorb the disappointment of Saturday’s result and, like Tony Pulis and the players, come back more determined than ever to play their part in bringing the season to a successful conclusion.
So basically all we have to do to have a "Successful Season" is stay in the Premiership, that might work for the people who have a financial interest in the club, but for those of us where the finances are going in the other direction, I don't class as surviving by the skin of our teeth (if we do) playing football which at times that would put a corpse to sleep, as having a successful season.
Before anyone points out that "bringing the season to a successful conclusion" and having a "successful season" are two different things I do appreciate that but it does not make it feel any better.
Finish in 12th or above then I might say that is "bringing the season to a successful conclusion"
