afar Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 The longer Carver remains in charge the higher the number gets. Obvious but so true now. The one thing in our favour is that there is a lot of crap down there, and if Southampton are the 3rd best team in the country then we surely will be able to pick up enough points from the remaining fixtures to stay up even with Carver in charge.

RodneyCisse Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I think we like Sunderland are lucky there is some utter shit in this league and it will keep us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Was on a 5 whenever the poll was last done, no change to that until we fuck up the appointment. Could easily plummet to 2/3 mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I've gone for a 6. The longer Carver hangs around, the more chance that has of increasing. If we appoint even a competent manager. Even one of the British dinosaurs that always get linked, then I think we'll stop up no bother. We'll finish 14th at least. Something for us all to look forward to.

Doug Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Official policy to not to mount a challenge in any competition means destruction of spirit on the field and in the stands. 7 and rising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Its def a 7 if a proven manager is not appointed within 10 days and probably a 5-6 even if that DOES happen...we are only a kick in the pants from Feb and we have difficult games coming up - even KK took 8 games to turn things around in 2008 and not many have his motivational qualities. It is going to be tight.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If we stay with Carver, or bring in an equivalent, then I thin we are purely relying on other teams being worse than us. Not an impossible possibility, but teams like Burnley are better than us despite their standing. It's not going to be fun. But then again, it never is.

Nexumaster Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I went with a 7 a while back (ever the pessimist) but will shunt up to an 8 if Carver is left in charge. I know there are teams who are supposed to be worse than us but I think we'll just deflate more and more while Burnley, Palace, West Brom and teams of that ilk will find that extra bit of belief.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Unless we lose our next 3 or 4 games it's very unlikely just because of how shit the rest of the bottom half is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 2 at the moment. Fail to see Leicester, Burnley or Hull finishing above us for starters, that's before throwing in QPR, Sunderland, Palace, WBA.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If we are to stay in this division the minimal I would expect is 5 points from the next 3 games. In reality, we should be getting 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 35 will probably be enough to stay up so we need 2 wins and 2 draws from the last 16 games. Should be easy enough, but keep losing and the pressure will start to crank up and up... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Still don't think we're likely to fall into the kind of tailspin that did for us last time, but we need to beat Hull next time out. Massive game for a variety of reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I hate to say it but I think Hull will beat us... Bruce knows what the atmosphere is like on Tyneside, knows our run of form, and knows if they come out fighting and get ahead early they will beat us.
