Leazes_End_Mag Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 10. Didn't want us to sign anyone and Mr Ashley granted me my wish. Im a geordie, im a geordie, going up, going up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Seems like a needless risk not getting anyone else in like. Find it very hard to believe their wasn't a loan option available who isn't at least par with 2 regular starters in the team. Disappointing but I don't think (and hope) it won't prove an oversight.

Twinport53 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Lets bare in mind Brightons best transfer was making Murrys loan a permanent deal for £3mil. Sheff Wed signed Jordan Rhodes, And Leeds got Mo Barrow. Its hardly like everybody strengthened their squad to well above our means. 10 for top 2, and 8.5 for the league. #InRafaWeTrust Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 8...8 and a bit, make it 9, more 8ish, defintely high 8 area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Bookies seemingly couldn't give a fuck, were still largely 1/25 to 1/33 to go up. Can't say I'm that confident but bookies have been wrong in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 #InRafaWeTrust That's the point you dweeb. Rafa's judgment should be trusted implicitly and he thought we needed new additions in this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Two wins in the next two games would see me at 9.5. Currently a 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 People don't give our team enough credit. Win tonight and our form in the last 3 league games is 3 wins, same as Reading and better than Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 #InRafaWeTrust That's the point you dweeb. Rafa's judgment should be trusted implicitly and he thought we needed new additions in this window. He's not saying #InRafaWeTrust for the transfer window. He's saying #InRafaWeTrust for the rest of the season. Seeing as this is a thread about our promotion chances. At least that's how I read it. Precisely Ron just being captain know it all, when he actually knows fuck all. Rafa might not have his 2 signings, but he's hardly going to collapse under the mighty weight of Glenn Murrays transfer fee and blow our promotion chances. Brighton fans probably think they have wasted the window and possibly been in meltdown had we got Townsend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Still a 10, but I do see that at least it's now not a foregone conclusion. But we've got Shelvey, Diame, Gayle and Atsu coming back into the reckoning. We'll take some stopping imo, and I still don't see any other teams with the depth we have.

Ronaldo Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Oh good, Brighton brought up again to defend our failures. If they are the strongest competition then it's pretty relevant Using Brighton and Hove Albion to defend the fact we've once again failed to sign players we needed. It's pathetic. They're up regardless, anyway. We'll have to wrap Shelvey and Gayle in cotton wool to join them and we shouldn't be putting ourselves in that position. And I know people will say 'oh but how many Championship clubs.....' bollocks. We got out of this league with ease last time because we basically (with a couple of exceptions) had a Premier League Xl for the second half of the season.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Brighton have been a work in progress for a few years now and have continued on from last season - they've only lost 3 this season (5 last), they're a very solid side. The reason we needed to strengthen was because we've been in the league half a year and had to patch together a squad in 1 window. We were never going to get everything right in one go.

So Brighton, who are two points ahead of us, are up but it sounds like we're going to be lucky according to you. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 We're far more erratic than Brighton like. They've lost 8 games in the league the past year and a half and their form follows a pretty consistent trend. Out of the two of us I'd say we are simultaneously the favourites to win the league and to not be promoted at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Could quite easily be ahead of Brighton by Thursday in any event - Huddersfield away isn't an easy match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It's the 3 consecutive away games against Brighton/Reading/Huddersfield in February/March that worry me, we can get away with Shelvey or Gayle for 1 or 2 games against lower Championship level but if either or both missed any of them 3 I struggle to see us getting a win.

Ronaldo Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Do you not think we'll go up automatically Ronny? I think we will, yeah. I'm just far from certain of it. We could've pretty much eliminated the risk factor with a couple of additions (who'd also have been useful next season) in the window and we didn't.
