newsted Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Still think 34-35 should be enough, making West Ham, Hull, Norwich and Swansea pretty much safe for me. Reckon Sunderland will scrape a 1-0 tomorrow, though. Damn Cardiff! Not playing tomorro marro. Mondo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Despite that late Cardiff goal its been an awful day for them with Palace winning. I think they'll get beat on Monday. West Ham will go for the draw playing defensive which the mackems struggle against at home. Definitely got a Nolan or Carroll goal from a set piece written all over it.

Karjala Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Great result the Palace one, massively makes up for West Brom drawing! Before today West Brom had the easier fixtures than Palace, so its still quite decent. Allardyce and West Ham will be hard to beat on Monday (as we know from his matches against us) and so I fancy them on the break, mackems are more suited to defending themselves and scoring a fluke goal for the win, bit different when they are expected to do the attacking. Even if they win on Monday, I wouldn't reckon they will get many points after that for a while and should be safely in the bottom 3 for the foreseeable.

Deuce Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah, Antiscore just isn't very good. He should definitely go back to the Dutch league. They'll be relegated and he'll be the scapegoat, despite 75% of their squad just not being PL-quality That doesn't excuse his pitiful performance this season. He should have scored at least a few token goals by this point. He's not a PL footballer, but he's also not "shit." He's completely zapped of confidence (much of which comes from the fact that he's too thin-skinned for this league, annoyingly so) and playing for a team in which he was always a terrible fit. It's not exactly as if any of their other target forwards have lit up the league this season, which suggests the problem is largely systemic. He'll go back to the Eredivisie or some other second-tier European league and have a decent little career. He's also a whopping 24 years old, which some are wont to forget. Not like he's entering the twilight years of his career. Anyway, fuck Sunderland and their trailer park fan base. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think you're the type of club that needs to come back first time of asking, or it could be a long time before you're back.

Took Celtic to UEFA Cup final and had some good runs in Europe with them. Had Villa challenging for top 4. Had some poor signings and wasted money but he had some successful signings. Prior to Sunderland he was never a manager who get involved in relegation scraps. He had his ceiling in the Premiership but never a bad manager. Until he joined Sunderland.

Tiresias Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I dunno Brummie was quite damning of his Villa days, got the feeling of a manager who'd passed his sell by date. Agree a lot of the problem at Sunderland is players not up to the task but don't think MON can escape the blame entirely. Paolo was always going to be a disaster, I think Gus has at times (especially against us, mind we couldn't have rolled over more for them) made them look solid but is working with terrible players, not sure he's great but I don't think he's done much wrong with them, the players just aren't very good and he's had to inherit them. Their transfer policy has got them in this mess imo. Bruce seems to be doing well with Hull tbh, I've liked them when they're playing well, granted they are very inconsistent. I'm not sure Sunderland would stay down forever even if they don't bounce back up, I suspect they will clear out the deadwood and be ok. I think we would have imploded way worse if we'd stayed down another season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
