Guest Phil K Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Pardew has royally f***ed it Yes indeedy. Wins us over, after 90% are doubters then blows it big time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Of everyone down there, we're the only ones playing beneath our capabilities. Surely that must change? Even if it's just a 3-4 win streak at some point, I really don't think we can continue to get these results for another 5 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hatem garrincha Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If all the injured players are fit and if Pardew picks the best team, if he forgets the like of Jonas or Shola, and sticks to one system built around his (lot of) technical players, there's absolutely no reason to fear a relegation battle. That team is too good for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matta Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 We failed massively last time around against "poorer teams". (southampton, westham and swansea games). I hope we can step it up next time around, but im not convinced we will at all. Couldn't even beat Villa at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister_Glass Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 That is absolutely disgusting. I know it isn't really comparable, but we would be bottom of the Championship form table as well. Huddersfield Town are rooted to the bottom of the form table but have managed to get 4 points from their last 6 games. http://www.footballformguide.net/form/npower-championship Edit - out of the 92 professional league clubs, over the last 6 games, only Bury and Colchester have performed worse than Alan Pardew's Newcastle United. We're on par (form-wise) with Portsmouth, currently in the relegation zone of League 1. Make of that what you will - different leagues I know, but in terms of a team's performance in the league they are competing in on merit, we are easily one of the shittest in England/Wales.

Robster Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Of everyone down there, we're the only ones playing beneath our capabilities. Surely that must change? Even if it's just a 3-4 win streak at some point, I really don't think we can continue to get these results for another 5 months. We can only properly gauge that at the end of Jan. If the poor results persist against the lower sides, then in my opinion, things aren't going to change. The Norwich game will go a long way to telling us.

colinmk Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Quite glad we are playing away next, too tense at home at the moment. Norwich game is pretty huge. We lose that and teams like them are really pulling away from us and leaving us adrift with the hangers on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 At 4 currently. Lose at Norwich and I'll be at a 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 For some inexplicable reason I'm still half expecting things to click and for us to go on some sort of Wigan-esque second half of season run where we look like world beaters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Krul Debuchy Saylor Colo Santon Anita Cabaye Jonas/Tiote HBA Cisse Marveaux (new striker - Remi?) If we can field a team like that or close to it regularly for much of the 2nd half of the season maybe with the additional strength of a new CB recruited then I think we'll be ok. We've been utter dogshite but we can't really get much worse especially with the names we've had out and still to come back into the side plus new signings. Reading and QPR have it all to do to get out of it and with a team like the one above we should have enough to pull away from the likes of S'ampton, Villa, Wigan etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'd move marv into a midfield with cabaye and anita and...play obertan on left if no new signings there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Still a 6 which I have voted for the past few months. I expected us to lose the last three so no change there. I am waiting to see if we suddenly gain an understanding among the midfielders we have, if we sign anyone and how well they fit in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eggenberger Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 One suspension or small injury to Cisse and Im betting on us going down. we are fragile at the moment, there is no doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Looking at our remaining fixtures and it's quite worrying. We don't seem capable of picking up an away point, never mind three. We probably need to win 6 out of the remaining game and 3 or 4 draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
