[Guest LucaAltieri]

Cannot beleive the blind faith and optimism some of the posters on here! Fair play to you all but for me Im still at a 9 and rapidly edging towards the "doomed" option.

 

Anyone convince me with words of positivism why I shouldnt be so pessimistic?!

 

Luca......1-5, your pint glass must be always half full......

 

I'll put it higher when it's no longer in our hands.

 

As it stands we've got plenty of games against those down there with us between now and the end of the season. A couple of good results and we might have lifted ourselves clear. To have it at a 9 with 8 games left and only a handful of points in it is a bit chicken licken.

[George Bailey]

I guess I do see the sky falling though Luca!

 

Cant see us getting owt against Chelski,Stoke,Spurs or Pompey personally..all performing better than us, all playing with more confidence and fight and with managers who know what theyre doing, and a better home record than us in the case of Stoke.

 

Only Boro game that Im truly confident about....Fulham well if they perform like they did yesterday.

 

Honetsly can only get us to 33 points (35 at a push)  looking at what we have left, confidence,all the manager and ownership shennanigans and generally how shite weve been all season....

 

Ive never felt so sure that we will go down as I do now, even in some of the previous wobbly seasons, this one just seems inevitable to me...

The problem now is that we have to win all of our games against direct rivals. Not draw, win - and that's possibly without two central defenders who would be automatic starters.

[Optimistic Nut]

It'll basically take three wins against Fulham, Boro & Pompey and at least a draw with Stoke to keep them in touch. Not sure we'll do that tbh.

[pedro111]

Winnables: Stoke, Portsmouth, Spurs, Boro, Fulham.

 

If we can win 3 of them, I think we'd be OK, just.

 

Im sorry but to think that we can win 3 of those games is somewhat ambitious.

[The Prophet]

6-7 for me, getting nervy but our fate is still very much in our own hands.

8 now.

[johnnypd]

up from 6 to 7 or 8

[LesPaul]

12

[BlueStar]

We've won, what 6 of the first 30 matches or so?  And we could do with winning 3 or 4 of the last eight now?

 

What's the Championship attendance record?  Surely we're in with a shout at that at least.  And don't forget the European trips to Cardiff and Swansea.

Cardiff will most likely be playing in the Premiership. Just think - Chopra playing in the Premiership and Ameobi stuck with us in the Championship.

 

 

[MW]

Really think its us or sunderland for the drop

[Scoreboard82]

9 now. Not quite doomed in view of the home games against boro, pompey and fulham, all are win-able, as is Stoke away. Beat Boro and we'll more or less put the final nail in there coffin. Win against Pompey or stoke and we'll drag them right back down. It's all talk though. The team have to go out and actually do it.

[Optimistic Nut]

Yeah, looking at the fixtures I agree with that.

[Pilko]

Still at a 6. However, a loss against Chelsea will see me rise to a 7.

[QBG]

Still a 5 good performance yesterday. Stoke away is massive.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

We'll stay up.

[gdm]

we have won 6 games all season we will probably need to 4 out of our last 8. How the fuck can people see that happening is beyond me

[Taylor Swift]

We've only won 6 games? Jesus, that's shocking.

[gdm]

aye Bolton, West Brom (twice), Villa, Spurs, and Pompey

[LoveItIfWeBeatU]

We've only won 6 games? Jesus, that's shocking.

In all their glory: -

 

Newcastle Vs Bolton Wanderers 1 - 0

Newcastle Vs West Brom 2 - 1

Newcastle Vs Aston Villa 2 - 0

Portsmouth Vs Newcastle 0 - 3

Newcastle Vs Tottenham 2 - 1

West Brom Vs Newcastle 1 - 3

[ChrisJbarnes]

ive gone from a nine down to a two.

[Shearergol]

ive gone from a nine down to a two.

 

Other way round, surely?

[afar]

increasing that stat by 50% in less than 20% of the season, probably won't be enough to keep us up.
