Crumpy Gunt Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 That relegation is almost a certainty this season? We are in my opinion fully reliant on hoping there might be 3 teams who are shiter than us. Wigan v Blackpool looks like we've found 2 of the three. Wigan, Blackpool, WBA and NUFC. Any three of those four for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HatchBach Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 On the contrary I think we have a good chance of staying up - maybe is is blind optimism, but I think we will be OK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Rather the contrary. I have faith in us staying up, albeit only just. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I think you underestimate the crapness of West Ham. I don't think its an almost certainty but definately a very long and tough battle against it though. If Sunderland lose Bent I can see them having a rough ride and not convinced by Blackburn though I reckon Sam will make them difficult to beat.

David28 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 As I've said before, I'm quite convinced we'll stay up. There are surley 3 teams that are worse than we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I think we'll get one or two more players in, so the time to judge us would be Sep 1st. Even now, I think we'll survive. Campbell will prove an important signing, because last time round we really paid for a lack of composure and organisation in defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 @ Grumpy. I'm convinced to the contrary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 As it stands with this squad, it's going to be far too close for comfort. We're not a certainty to go down, I think we're better than West Ham, Blackpool will eventually burn out like Burnley did, and maybe West Brom though their result against Chelsea shouldn't be taken into any kind of consideration.

Guest Antec Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 As soon as injuries kick in and we have to play central midfielders out wide we'll be in huge trouble Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Not convinced we'll go down. Not convinced we'll be safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hard to be convinced either way until we've played a few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hard to be convinced either way until we've played a few games. If we can get 7 points from the first 5 games we'll have started very well (losses at Man Utd & Everton, a win against Blackpool at home, and then 4 points either way from Villa & Wolves).

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 West Brom will probably go down, so will Blackpool... Wigan look horrible and so do West Ham. Birmingham could turn out to be poor, so could another couple of teams. We're quite bad, but so are a lot of other people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hard to tell... just have to wait and see. However, I think we are better organised this season and hopefully last season's form will inspire the lads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 We need to pick up points from the likes of wigan,bolton,blackburn,blackpool,west brom,wolves,west ham...every other point is a bonus failure to beat the 6 worst teams especially at home wil result in us going down...hand on heart with our squad the fact i can see our midfield being over ran constantly putting more pressure on our defence, especially williamson who terrifies me as a prem league defender then i cant see us getting out of the bottom 3 all season very sad considering we have a billionaire owner who wont spend to secure the status of the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 can't see how anyone could be convinced relegation is a certainty next season at this point ffs i wouldn't even say with certainty we'll be in the mix come April/May Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca888 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 A lot depends on injuries to us and our rivals. We are already behind the 8 ball defensively wise with Simpson, Taylor out for a long period and Campbell not fit yet. As someone else said, if Sunderland lose Bent, they are in trouble but a lot will depend on who we sign and who we lose between now and the end of the month. Our squad is not deep and our attack is weak but I see the likes of Blackpool, Wigan, Bolton, Wolves, West Ham and possibly even Fulham (now that RH has gone) being in the same boat as us.

NG32 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I think its up in the air between 8 or 9 teams, we have our own issues but other teams have theres. I think we'll survive, a few hairy moments but we will survive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I'm feeling a bit better after seeing Wigan, West Ham and West Brom, but I'm still bloody nervous about this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sombrero Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 lets not forget that some teams as small as blackpool started off amazing in the first few games then it was all downhill thereafter. so bubye blackpool, seeya later wigan cant put my finger on the third yet, perhaps from west ham, stoke or west brom, but there will be someone else, we have good players now, and more importantly, a TEAM. and some of the new players will be interesting (Arfa) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
