Jericho Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They were 7 points from safety with 6 games to go in 2013-14 season and they survived. It is not over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 There's teams around them in good form this time though. This is normally the time they get results themselves but I can't see them catching teams like Palace, Leicester & Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They're simply worse than the teams above them, although Boro are doing their best to match them just now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They might go on a run and catch Hull & Boro but they've very little chance of catching Palace and next to none of catching those teams on 27. Really for me Slughead either relegates them or saves them two years running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They'll be targeting points in their next 3 games like. Problem is, as soon as they stop defending deep and compact they're fucked. Next match is a great chance for them as Burnley are also shite away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They have absolutely nothing about them bar Defoe, he was unlucky not to score today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They got 16 points from their last 11 last season, so its still possible, but they also had 4 points more by this stage, no new manager to change things up though and isn't likely to be either.

Robster Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Plus, they don't have a turgid NUFC to draw inspiration from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think they'll pick up a few wins and make a decent fist of staying up but they're trying to catch teams too far ahead of them and who are likely to continue picking up points to maintain the gap. They're not down yet but it will take a miraculous turnaround in form to get themselves out if it this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They will go down, i think Palace & Boro could join them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 These go down they're in major s*** with their debts and with a major cull being required to get wages off the books and very little money to buy the required quality to get back up. There will be no swift return any time soon. What a shame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think Boro will edge past them 1-0 next week, and that'll be the first nail in a coffin that's overdue more than Bruce Forsyth's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 they looked up for it till they went behind. where they are being fucked is that some rivals are hitting form now, they are 3 games from safety with 11 to play if you think they will still get out of it.......6/1 skybet and bet365, it would soften the blow 22/1 for palace, boro & hull to go down. If they replace anyone it's palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think Boro will edge past them 1-0 next week, and that'll be the first nail in a coffin that's overdue more than Bruce Forsyth's. Hasn't their game been postponed due to Boro still being in the FA cup? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Mental that they only have 19 points from 27 games but it's really only this week that a gap has opened up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Fleetwood going well in Division 1. Just saying. Division 3 surely? North. Am I missing something with the Fleetwood thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Fleetwood going well in Division 1. Just saying. Division 3 surely? North. Am I missing something with the Fleetwood thing? Sunderland and others laughed that we played against Burton who were a few years ago a non-league team. Fleetwood a few years ago were a non-league team like Burton and are in a promotion place in League 1, meaning as things stand Sunderland would play Fleetwood next season.

Right, got ya Fleetwood's rise has been one to behold, except for last year when they nearly got relegated but survived because Blackpool (local rivals) were just that little bit shitter. Again, I hope this happens, not just because it's karma but because I have a vested interest in Fleetwood beating them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
