Newcastle United promoted back to the Premier League
afar replied to Figures 1-0 Football's topic in Football
Howay man, we can win one game. I wish I had your confidence, but after that display today, it's very difficult to see. Ne offence but you're possibly the most pessimistic person I've ever come across Well there are a few candidates on here for that award, but I am for sure glass half empty when it comes to NUFC -

Well that helps Still need to win at least one game though, that's worrying me more than Huddersfield right now. -
I've hated this thread ever since it was created, so preemptive and surely we are all harden now to never ever take anything for granted with NUFC.

Will be an utter failure if we don't go up, 100% certain he will not be here if we don't. Would like to see a young progressive manager come in to take his place should that scenario pan out Wagner would have been ideal but he'll not leave them if they go up in our place, Fulham's manager too would be a good should but can see them winning the playoff, if that happens he's not leaving either. When we went down in 88 or whenever, we bought well in the pre-season the following year, Quinn and McGhee were awesome up front for us but we only finished that first season back in 3rd, went to the playoff got beat off the Mackems in the semi, drawing the away leg and losing 2-0 at SJP. The Mackems went on to be promoted despite losing the final to Swindon ! Following that first season we sank like a stone until almost dropping out of the champ until KK came back to save us. Honestly if we don't go up this year can see a similar situation transpiring but where is the new KK to save us ?

Big problem for us, if we do drop into the playoffs we'll probably have Fulham and Sheff Wed in there with us and were are terribad against those two. Assuming Huddersfield overtake us but we somehow manage to stay ahead of Reading we'll be playing Fulham in the semi final should the rest of the table stay the same, anyone betting on us to beat them over two legs, after already losing twice to them this season ? -

Nope Reading can also catch us with Burton, Wigan and Forest to play they are only 6 behind. -

Chronicle poll has says 59% don't think we will go up. Hard to argue with that right now tbh. -

That's fine but they will beat Derby, Derby are clearly on their Hols now. Fulham will be a tougher game for sure, but the that worries me most is our own form and we look very unlikely to even get 3 more points all season. I honestly think we'll get 2 more, a draw against Preston and Barnsley with a defeat at Cardiff, that may not be enough to see off Reading let alone Huddersfield. -

OMFG -
Terrible team selection and subs today, loss very much on him and the players of course for their complete lack of fight. Queue the rallying calls in the chronicle, for the next week.

Who's got the remaining fixtures. I know Reading have Wigan, Burton and Forest left, can only see 9 points there for them, how about Huddersfield ? Where the fuick are we going to get 3 more points at bear minimum from ? -

Don't forget about Reading they win all three of their games and we still need to get 3 more points and at the moment I don't see any points in our team. FFS Burton, Wigan and Forest left for them !! -
I'm done with this team, really done, if we throw this lead away, it's worse than the 12 point lead we gave up in 96, considering how long was left in the season and the consequence of failure. This is a horrible, horrible feeling right now.
-
We need to have a plan in place for the playoffs, I'm sure they haven't even thought about them but the form we are in that's where we are headed right now.
-
Reading6 points behind now, can we get 3 more points this season ?
-
Yeah I was just thinking this. What happened? Haven't won since Huddersfield I think.
-
Taking Ritche off wtf.
-
Reading winning too, so they can still catch us, unlikely but rather just have to worry about one team.
-
FFS, he's got to roll the dice now, bring on Mitro sacrifice a defender or midfielder, may as well be beaten by 2 or 3. WTF so he brings on a defender, Yedlin has been awful though.

At this moment in time at a 6, will shoot back up if Derby do us a favour later. Can we please change the poll option, it's cursed us I feel. -
He looks offside like, but still.
-
Two shots tbh, but we've played awful and deserve the loss.
-
Wtf is he having a shot there for, idiot.
