Nobody Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Can we have another vote? Can see some of the teams at bottom pulling off good escapes but can't see Sunderland or West Ham stopping their declines. Think we're at about 5 now. You seriously think we're 50/50 to get relegated? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 What a ridiculous poll. 5 is 50/50 FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I think today we proved we have enough to be safe. I think Southampton also look like they have more than enough about them. wigan will escape again, imo. Norwich on 32 are safe. so, who? Mackems? Wham? or the three in the drop zone? Southampton are scoring but are conceding heavily as well, they now have some tough fixtures left. Wigan have just started their end of season points pick up. Reading have some fixtures coming up against teams around them, Southampton included, they can't afford to do what they did against Wigan. For me I think one of Reading, Wigan, and Southampton will go down along with Villa, and QPR. At the moment I'd say Wigan will be the ones joining them. Sunderland, and West Ham have done enough.

BillClinton Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 2. There's always a chance, but things are looking up. It looks like our terrible form is behind us, inspired by the new signings, hopefully we can keep it going. We've got a pretty decent schedule as well. I still think someone that is in the 'comfortable' area at the moment could get complacent and end up going down. West Ham and Sunderland aren't looking great at the moment.

Cajun Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Last time we went down I was naive and thought we were too good to go down. This time I fully appreciate the importance of heart/character which is something we have throughout the squad. We have proven in the last few games we finally have the fight to overcome setbacks and have players who will almost literally drag us through a game.

Stottie Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 With the other results, it's just as well we got 9 points out of 12. A loss to Chelsea and draw instead of a win vs. Villa or Soton and we'd be right down there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Absolutely no way we'll go down now. Can't believe Reading nicked four points off us. Terrible team, absolute certainties to go imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 fuck it, i'm not going back to find the exact numbers but what was it lost 11 of 13 or something? the manager had no fucking clue how to change it or even come close to getting a result we were much more than a 1 before the transfers started rolling in i'm sorry like but we were, it was easy 50/50 at that point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 3 for me, you can never say never but unlikely now, looking up now instead of down, only three points of 10th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 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. Sissoko is exactly what we needed and we signed 4 more players than I expected that have fit in perfectly. 3 now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we'd had a very poor run, but the reasons for that were fairly clear to see: key players missing, poor decision making on/off pitch during matches (often by over-played 'squad' players) and the novelty of Europa affecting pre-match preparation for the coaching staff. We also had the Ba shenanigans hanging over our head, which was affecting Cisse's form as he was shunted out wide (don't know why we didn't just play one or the other - Pards trying too hard to keep senior players happy IMO). I was expecting two or three new arrivals in January (with one, maybe two departures - including Ba). More importantly, the return of Cabaye (from injury) and Tiote (from ACON/lack of form) was going to help us out. Obviously, I'm an insane contrary bassa; but then again, I do get a lot of enjoyment out of our matches (win, lose or draw) so it's swings and roundabouts.

Do you need to be close, just outside or in the bottom three positions to be relegated? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
