Tsunami Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Time for a bump. I said absolutely at the time & remain of the same opinion. We are in deep shit and heading towards worse. look at where we are, who we've failed to beat & consider what is likely to be a quiet Jan for incoming & potential disquiet for outgoings. The league will start to take a lot more shape by early Jan & I can't see us being anywhere but bottom 5 come that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yes, without a doubt. Put it this way we are either going down or will just by the slimmest of margins survive and I'd take that now thankyou very much because I firmly believe we're going down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dover Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 We were poor yesterday but we have a horrendous injury list and shocking management structure, sunderland , middlesboro, and co. have not got the same excuses and are doing just as badly, we will survive and a mid-table finish is what I expect.

hakka Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'd take 17th, as no doubt 17th spot will be level on points with 16th, 15th, 14th, 13th and 12th come end of season. Goal difference will probs be the decider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fraser Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think we can get enough points to survive however at this stage last season the bottom three had 42 points between them, this season it's 62; I can't work out if this means more or less points than usual will be required to stay up. Incidentally we had four more points than we have now but had played one game more. What we must avoid is sixty minutes of relative domination, failing to score and then collapsing for thirty minutes. That is a relegation performance.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 100% definitely would. Saw Shearer saying he was worried on MOTD yesterday. Lineker had a look that said he thought we were doomed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you think we will get these points from? We can't even win games where we have been playing well. As soon as the other team scores we collapse.

Guest justin99. Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 pffft, there's worser teams out there. with abit of luck, a few fluke goals, newcastle will get up to mid table Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, any team up to Hull in 8th place could get relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we'll lose every game between between now and the end of the season? We'll win some, no doubt, and I think we'll win enough. Won't be pretty though.

SUPERTOON Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Would snap your hand off. We are in freefall with a terrible manager, terrible squad and no sign of any improvements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Our next 5 games are pivotal, if we don't pick up decent points we are looking at the trap door as our next set of fixtures after that are frightening. Forget what other teams are doing; we are not winning football matches; we know what should be done but as ever it doesn't get done. Bottom line is that without 3 or 4 good signings and less than 9 points out of the next 15 we are in bigger trouble than at any time in our recent history.

Ketsbaia Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 im not a pessimist, and its taken a while for me to get to this stage.......but yes I would accept 17th. its not ACCEPTABLE but looking at our fixtures it might be the best we can hope for. if we dont get at least 4 points from sunderland and WBA, its over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Seems like an appropriate time for a bump. Those of us that were worried early on were sooo wrong weren't we ? Thee point we were trying to educate people on, is the fact that we had been through this all before and the signs were all pointing to what we have here, which is one hell of a fight to stay in the league. If you wouldn't take 17th right now, you're officially of your freakin head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
