Robster Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 As they showed often in the premier league, they have a habit of finding form and pulling unexpected wins right at the end of the season. It wouldn't be a surprise if they did it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a surprise if they did it again. That was usually the result of changing manager though, an option that they dont have this time.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Even if they don’t go down, I can see them as a Championship club for many years to come. Financially they are screwed and no-one will be lining up to buy the club. Short for all his faults has done something thousands of mackems haven’t done and that’s invest in the club. They will never amount to anything while they are always obsessed with us and see everything we do or don’t do as a yardstick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 If I was them I see 6 games you'd be realistically thinking you could win as targets, on paper they should get dicked in the rest of them. They'll not win all six bit will probably pick up an unexpected win and draw here or there. My guess is about 20 points max, will that be enough?

ianovthetoon Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 If they lose their next two and the teams hovering about relegation pick points up that’s them done I think. If they lose to Bolton it opens up a seven point gap between them and the mackems, if Hull beat Barnsley there’s another 6 point gap. You’d have though there was an ideal opportunity to kick on from their comeback last week but they’ve been dicked at home again with another poor performance. Two of their 3 goals against Bristol City were OG, and whilst there’s no denying their defence is shite, it’s hard to see where the goals are going to come from. On top of that, most of the teams they have left to play have something to play for, whether it’s play offs or survival points. I think this time they’re gone!

Crumpy Gunt Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 So, some of us older NUFC supporters will remember when them shithouses last dropped into the third tier. Much merriment was made by NUFC's support. So much so that NUFC's support was very much in attendance in that relegation play off game at Roker Park v Cascarino lead Gillingham. First and probably the only time I've seen three sets of supporters in one ground. NUFC given their own section in the clock stand (to the left of the Roker End as you face the pitch.) Others intermingled with the unwashed as the gates closed on the NUFC section well before kick off. Myself included. So, should we go back this season when the inevitable happens? I'll be sorely tempted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Think they'll do a Wigan/Bolton and start yo-yo'ing between the Championship and League One for a while. It took a fair club Boro 6 or so seasons to come back, Leeds still haven't, Forest haven't for nearly 20 years, Sheff Utd over 10 years, Sheff Wed 18 years, Coventry similar...Villa still might take another year or so. They're gone for a while and their golden era post-war would have been 3 top-half finishes in 18 years and a derby streak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
