They would never have expected to be 1 and 8. They would not have expected to be sitting last at this stage .

That is beside the point though Lods.
Does any club ever expect to be bottom 2?
If they do expect it, then they are probably not doing their job properly.
If they do expect it, and they say it publicly, then they are definitely not doing their job properly!

Malthouse played that game and said he couldn't see where we'd lose a game. How did that work out for him?
The club is gunshy on putting out expectations because if they are not met, even with legitimate reasons as to why (ie half your list injured) the media and general public are not very understanding/forgiving and the pressure increases exponentially.
Why do players trot out the '1 week at a time' and equivalent cliches? Because if they say anything of substance, its used against them and the club. Say nothing, and you have nothing to worry about.
