4 matches to go , I am sure we can beat this lot 
After losing their first five games, a three-game unbeaten run – including draws with West Brom and West Ham, and a win over Middlesbrough – seemed to suggest things were on the up.
They weren’t. Sunderland won just twice more all season, setting what was a record-low points tally in the Premier League with just 15.
Finishing the season with just 11 points, Derby won six of them in the first 15 games.
The year started so promisingly with an opening-day draw with Portsmouth, but a four-game losing streak was rounded off with a 6-0 thrashing at Liverpool.
The 1-0 victory over Newcastle which followed was to be their only league win of the entire season – so, in a way, the second-worst start to a season in Premier League history was actually the highlight of the campaign for the Rams.
Their nightmare start included an 8-0 defeat to Newcastle, a 4-0 at Manchester United, and a 4-3 at West Ham – but also a 5-1 victory at home to Wimbledon.
Wednesday eventually won seven more matches that season, including three wins in five in the New Year.
But the damage was already done, and they were relegated in 19th.
Remy finished top scorer with just six, which coincidentally was how many points his side won in their first 15 games.
Like Swindon, QPR didn’t get a win in this spell - their first victory coming in matchday 17 against London rivals Fulham.
QPR finished rock bottom, with just four wins all season. As the old saying goes: not many good seasons start with a 5-0 home defeat to Swansea.
By the end of the season, Tim Sherwood, Kevin MacDonald, Remi Garde and Eric Black had all tried and failed to stop the rot which set in almost from the start.
Villa actually started the season with a 1-0 win at newly-promoted Bournemouth, but they lost nine of their next 10 and didn’t win again until January.
Things actually got steadily worse as the season developed – they rounded off the campaign with one point from their final 13 games.
Sunderland 2005-06 - W1 D2 L12, PTS 5, GD -17
Sunderland’s record of five points from 15 games is as bad as the Premier League has ever seen – and it would go on to be their worst-ever season in the top flight.After losing their first five games, a three-game unbeaten run – including draws with West Brom and West Ham, and a win over Middlesbrough – seemed to suggest things were on the up.

Derby County 2007-08 - W1 D3 L11, PTS 6, GD -29
Luckily for Sunderland, Derby came along two years later and blew that record out of the water – though they did start the season in marginally better form.Finishing the season with just 11 points, Derby won six of them in the first 15 games.

Sheffield Wednesday 1999-00 - W1 D3 L11, PTS 6, GD -23
Level with Derby on six points after 15 games, Sheffield Wednesday rounded off the millennium in very little style with an arduous relegation season.Their nightmare start included an 8-0 defeat to Newcastle, a 4-0 at Manchester United, and a 4-3 at West Ham – but also a 5-1 victory at home to Wimbledon.
Wednesday eventually won seven more matches that season, including three wins in five in the New Year.

Queens Park Rangers 2012-13 - W0 D6 L9, PTS 6, GD -16
QPR had a funny old season in 2012-13, with Mark Hughes and Harry Redknapp presiding over a mismatched squad featuring the likes of Park Ji-Sung, Djibril Cisse, Esteban Granero and Loic Remy.Remy finished top scorer with just six, which coincidentally was how many points his side won in their first 15 games.

Aston Villa 2015-16 - W1 D3 L11, PTS 6, GD -15
The final and most recent team on this list, Villa also started the season with just six points from their first 15 games.By the end of the season, Tim Sherwood, Kevin MacDonald, Remi Garde and Eric Black had all tried and failed to stop the rot which set in almost from the start.
