Tiresias Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If we beat Villa convincingly, get some momentum going through performances and points we'll be alright imo. We just can't hold off getting a run going any longer, we need to turn it around now. Cabaye being back though, seeing the difference he made even without these new signings for a half against reading, starting to feel we'll be ok. Lose to Villa we're in huge trouble and we'll have to win some of the tough matchs coming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the new signings, Yo Cabs is the key here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The dickhead in charge's attacking strategy is actually to hit balls at the opposition defence and a) hope there is a defensive spillage b) hope Ba/Cisse can finish from any spillage. THAT IS THE FULL EXTENT OF OUR ATTACKING PLAY. It's been the same with Cabaye, HBA and Colo in the team at different points this season. I'm at a non-sarcastic 9, because I don't think we'll get rid of Pardew until very late in the day. Right, I'm at 10. Keeping Colo + new signings, I'll go to 8/9. I must be interpreting this thing differently to everyone else. If it's a scale of 1-10, surely 10, 'doomed' means 95-100%, definite. If the rest of the season was played out 10 times, on every occasion we'd be relegated. In a best case scenario, it would be played out 20 times and once we wouldn't. Voting anything like 9 now is ridiculous. Apart from maybe Derby and those two mackem record breakers, probably no team has warranted a 9 in january. Sorry for derailing and taking the relegationometer too seriously, but I'm just a bit baffled. I'm on a 3 after the signings. From me at least. I don't take 10 to mean relegation is a mathematical/statistical certainty (or near to that). I take it to mean that without intervention, I'm strongly convinced we would go down. For me, at least, the relegationometer does not take into account managerial changes/new signings/player exits/en masse injuries (other than those already known to us)/en masse recoveries or other similar events. It's how I see the season playing out if such elements don't change. Things have changed so much this past week. Haven't had time to really think about the implications of it all. Still very worried about relegation and I don't think any such fears will be assuaged until I start to see points on the board or the team demonstrate the capacity to put points on the board. So many unknowns atm. It's a very interesting time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many unknowns atm. It's a very interesting time. Yeah I feel the same as the last paragraph. My hope is that by the time we get to the last 10 games (and lets hope we've picked up some decent points by then) the side will be pretty settled with the new players bedding in. We should by this point be able to cause some real damage to teams giving the really good sides a proper game at home (Pool/Arsenal) while also giving ourselves to pick up some wins away from home.

cp40 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 If people want to make suggestions as to what each number is for- i could add them. eg 10- very likely we are going to get relegated. 9 fairly likely we are going to get relegated. 8? 7 ? 6too close for comfort 5 ?. 4 not very likely 3? 2? 1 not a chance.

Tiresias Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 to me it's 10 - dead cert 9 - needs a miracle never seen before 8 - Spectacular comeback needed 7 - Real hard work but doable 6 - Need to regain some form 5 - Keep playing as we're playing be ok 4 - safe unless the teams below us go on huge run 3 - safe unless teams below us have miracles and we lose all our players to injury 2 - safe unless we go into administration and collapse 1 - safe we're at 7 threatening to go to 8 if we don't win a few very soon.

ExiledGeordie Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah Norwich are really struggling again and Southampton are hardly clear yet. Fulham are in awful form and West Hame haven't exactly been romping to victories. If they lose Diame that'll be a massive blow too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
