Ryan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I think we might sneak a win but would definitely take a point. Think 10-11 points out the next 11 games will be enough to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 0-1 and we'll all be loving life. Hurray! Survival and Ashley is here forever Surely a new owner (and Rafa) is much more likely if we stay up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 0-1 and we'll all be loving life. Hurray! Survival and Ashley is here forever Surely a new owner (and Rafa) is much more likely if we stay up? Personally, I don't think so. I'm of the opinion that Ashley doesn't want to sell at all because the more I think about it, I cannot think of a reason why he'd want to when it's so beneficial to him and SD. Also, forcing myself to think like this means I don't get my hopes up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Reason to sell would be lots of money, absolutely no reason to sell if we go down as he'd never accept losing money on a sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well be right but I think he gets lots of money by keeping us. Ultimately, he said he's selling. We know he's a liar therefore as far as I am concerned, he isn't. For now, I think after Sunday, we are in a good place to go and pick up another 3 points. Rafa has 2 weeks with them now and will have his plans ready. 0-2.

Altamullan Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 In their home games this season (most recent first) they beat Stoke, Arsenal, and Everton all 2-1, drew 3-3 with West Ham, lost 4-0 to Liverpool, drew 1-1 with Southampton, lost 2-1 to Burnley, beat Huddersfield 4-0, lost 1-0 to Chelsea, drew 0-0 with Leicester, and beat Brighton 2-1. So played 11 won 5 (four 2-1 wins and a 4-0), drew 3, lost 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexumaster Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 These always look ropey when I see them play other teams, but then when they play us they look decent. Pretty sure that says more about us than them though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I’m hoping these think they are pretty much out of danger and just start relaxing. If Huddersfield can wipe the floor with them, then there is no reason why we can’t go there and give them a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Well here’s hoping for another narrow victory. I think they’re due a home defeat. In that given their quality four home wins in a row would be unusual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they looked decent that one game but alongside Everton they are the worst side to play at SJP this season imo. Mind somehow we ended up losing to both games although we were by far the better side in both. They had a few out injured as well at SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papavasiliou Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Would take our standard 1-1 right now but after that last game I don't think there's any reason we shouldn't be going for a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 It wouldn't surprise me if Ritchie actually kicks on from here, with that first goal he's got that monkey off his back and he'll have gained some much needed confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I hope so. He's had his fair share of critics this season and rightly so at times, but I think the majority of us really like his passion and work rate, and if he added some of those goals from last season back into his game he could be really useful to our survival hopes.

Kanji Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I've basically been adament that Gayle, Ritchie, and Shelvey where not worthy of starting and they all were absolutely crucial in the win versus Man Utd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Aye, whilst I've been in support of Shelvey & Ritchie when others haven't, I've been one of Gayle's biggest critics from the beginning of the season, but his little knock down to Ritchie was absolutely brilliant on reflection & I thought he generally worked very hard and made a real handful of himself against Utd.
