Last two times they've played us here when the fans have been on a high, we've won easily. (2-0 Owen & the 5-1)
Obviously the manager makes a huge difference but the fans play such an important part in these games too.
Your players have never played us with our fans in such good spirit. You've only played us when we've been suffering the malaise of Crystal Palace manager, the oaf and the wet blanket.
The whole thing just looks brighter. You look at our fixture list and it suddenly looks much more winnable than it did before. We're also only 1 point off safety with most of our rivals still to play.
Got to say, I haven't felt a buzz like this regarding NUFC for so long. Feels like a parallel universe though. Mike Ashley actually appointing a real manager?
1 point from safety with a game in hand. I don't think so. With McClaren we'll be lucky to pick up a point at all though. Fine margins.
It's the gap above that which concerns me. Any team can go on a crazy run and Norwich or Sunderland could. We could win 6 games and still go down.
Not likely this year IMO. Very much a who's shitter competition down at the bottom. With Rafa we would edge above them both.
