Nearly a 100 PL appearances for us now, and a grand total of 8 goals. Not been involved in a single goal this season. Yet another player simply not good enough.

The last couple of seasons the mackems have been the ones with games in hand and we know how that ended up... I think Wigan has the title, but can't be sure Rotherham will get 2nd. Wycombe doing well too. Think mackems will be in the play offs, but unfortunately still in a good place for automatic.

If Watford beat Burnley, we go 5pts behind them with a much worse GD. Watford then play Norwich before we face Leeds - its not impossible we could be 7pts behind Leeds in 17th when we play them next weekend. Guess we need Watford to draw both games against Burnley and Norwich. Norwich haven't given up yet at least. Every single statistic about us makes us deserve to be where we are - 4th worst scorers, 2nd worst defence, least wins, 2nd worst GD, 1 win in 22 games inc cups, 3pts from 9 games away, record PL goals conceded in a calendar year. Championship players.

Been a liability for at least 3 seasons, surely thats the performance that finally means he wont be an automatic starter any more. Championship defender at best.

How many times have we said that this season? 6? 7? Simply not good enough to win games in the PL.

We have the worst away record in the league. 3pts from 9 games.

Home matches: Burnley 0-0 (cup) Southampton 2-2 Leeds 1-1 Brentford 3-3 Norwich 1-1 Cambridge 0-1 (cup) Watford 1-1 Remaining home games: Everton, Villa, Brighton, Palace, Wolves, Leicester, Liverpool, Arsenal. Don't see us getting another 20 points now. Willock kept us up last season, we need another similar stroke of luck this time.

22 Inc cup games

10. Simply not good enough. Only question is if we'll finish bottom.

Right now, 8. Lose to Watford and i can't see anything but guaranteed relegation. Beat Watford and i'll go to 6.

Right now, we don't have anyone in our squad that's likely to get another 6 or 7 goals (depending how long Wilson is out). With 19 games to go, considering Wood's PL stats there's a decent chance he'll do that. 6 or 7 goals from him could be the difference to us staying up.

Training match 4-0 or 5-0 to them.

Yeah, thats true

Everyone likes to refer to the teams we were better than and should have beat - but we didnt beat any of them. People still referring to us "picking up a win or two and picking up" yet we've been saying that for at least 6 weeks. Yes, we are 'only' 6 points from safety, but Watford 'only' need another 24 points from 24 games and they'll be safe. We 'only' need another 31. 31 points is minimum 8 wins IMO, coupled with 7 draws. Are we really likely to only lose 9 of our last 24? Its not over, but ever week that ticks by, is one less game to achieve our 'only' target. We somehow need 6 or 7 points before the New Year, or we'll be in a situation where we need 28 points from 18 games (Europa League qualification form), and just can't see us winning 7 or 8 of the last 18. Goes without saying, once again, we absolutely must beat Burnley.

They out of the pizza trophy now then? Im lost with all the rounds, penalties in group games etc

Just like Brentford and Norwich, this is another must win. We'll need a minimum of 9 wins in our last 24, goes without saying this needs to be one. If we dont win, i think even the most optimistic fan will have to accept defeat. Think we'll sneak it, 3-2. Pretty much impossible to see us keeping a clean sheet.

I think we've been the luckiest Newcastle side i've ever watched the previous 2 seasons though, i often wished we'd had just a bit of that luck under KK and Bobby. Guess its finally time to be unlucky again.

Most likely going to need 9 wins from our last 24 games. Chances of that happening?

And didn't.

Genuinely don't see how anyone can vote less than an 8. Rock bottom after 14 games, winless all season including the cup, worst defence in the league, need to score twice to have a chance of getting anything etc. We've failed to beat any of our relegation rivals so far, and realistically need 31pts from our last 24 matches - top 8 form. It'll basically take at least 4 surprise results now, and i just don't see this team doing it. We needed 7 points minimum from Brentford, Norwich and Burnley, right now that'll be max of 5. 10 for me i'm afraid. More likely to sell in January, than sign any decent players - who will want to come?

10.

Bye bye premier league

Joelinton off ASAP, Miggy on please

The accumulation of points - (true-faith.co.uk) Pretty well summed up there.

If Rafa had stayed and got the money Brucey blew that summer (~£70m) i'm pretty sure we'd have been close to Europe the next season. Sheff United were 5pts off it.
