Mag_in_NZ Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 as a side thought those fixtures will be exactly what mcclaren will be pointing to when he talks to charnley/ashley and probably why they'll stick with him and we'll go down And any other CEO/MD would look and realise we took 7 points first time around....."and so Schteve what's your plan".....gotcha! bye! - well I can hope Not going to happen unfortunately. I think we're stuck with this knacka. Look at the way the club stuck with Pardew and never even considered replacing him. Along with that we have a spineless MD and McClarens good mate on the board. Throw Concur into the decision making process and there's no way he's going. There's nobody at all in the club hierarchy who would have the balls or will to even propose sacking him. I reckon the absolute best we could hope for would be for him to get moved to a DoF role after he's relegated us and for one of his underlings to take over for next season. west brom is kind of key because if we go and lose that badly we'll almost certainly lose the following two, that'd then be 5 defeats on the bounce right? after having had loads of money thrown at him if they don't act at that point with enough winnable games on the board then yeah he's staying and we're done But who's going to act? Charnley - spineless yes man Carr - McClarens mate who pushed him for the job so is invested in the appointment Moncur -[emoji38]McClaren - Turkeys, Christmas etc So you can see there's nobody within the club who would make the right call. Our leadership and organisation is non-existent. The only real hope is that Ashley himself takes a hand and forces the decision but I also can't see that happening, he's too hands off. True enough. 27 games played and 21 points should wake Ashley up like, he must be paying some attention you'd have thought. After dropping £29m in the window he must surely be expecting better than 5 straight defeats ffs[emoji38] Only one needs to act and that's fat Ash, the rest will go with his view....the question is will he? - in a real world - absolutely, in the world of NUFC - fat chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 exactly, we are relying on 2/3 sides to go on a poor run and for us to do something we have been simply incapable of doing in more than a year not wanting to dismiss the new signings and their potential influence on our fortunes or style of play but effectively it may not turn around straight away and if it doesnt it may be too late to catch 1/2 to get to 16th /17th what a season whoever in the board descided to state top 8 needs to be taken outside and shot. Not really, we're just relying on us picking up 3 more points than Norwich. Bottom two are gone imo. hmmm. Think we are in serious trouble. IMO the most likely outcome in the Derby is a loss, either our players fold, or some strange officiating. Then there's McClarens knack of losing games, there's no mistaking he has that ability. Not looking great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The really worrying aspect of our team is there is no one in the side who will take the game by the scruff of the neck and drive the team forward. In other words not a single leader on the pitch which means we will be relegated. I believe it will be villa us and Norwich who go down because the mackems have got goals in them. We haven't.

Guest Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 though last night was demoralising none of us really expected anything else did they? our fate will be decided by WBA (h) Bournemouth (h) Sunderland (h) Norwich (a) Swansea (h) Palace (h) Villa (a) 7 games where knackers has to realistically be taking 3 points in 6 of them, don't and we're gone, it's really that simple now - we have to beat those teams in the bottom half of the table and palace of course who pardew has in a death spiral which we can only hope continues That's where we're at basically. Need 16 points from those as a minimum to stand a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 If we repeat that performance on Saturday. Then it has to be a 9 or a 10. I expected fuck al last night and our away form has been terrible all season. So for now, nothing has changed IMO. Fail to win on Saturday and it will be panic stations.

St1pe Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Still in a mood about last nights result and performance. Particularly the injuries and the stupid red card. I still maintain we can stay up. We can finish above Norwich, Sunderland and Villa because they're equally as disgusting as us. Everyone else are way ahead, finishing above them is the best we can hope for. I'm morbidly looking forward to going to the game on Saturday because I think the result will be telling whether we have a hope or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd absolutely love to be in a situation to not give a s*** about losing I've no idea why we do it to ourselves as a fan base. I was at that stage last season. Just apathy at every loss and almost able to just laugh it off. Before that, it would ruin my entire weekend. Somehow, I got sucked back into caring a while back. I'm even going to the game on Saturday, as I'm up in the NE for the first time in ages and my mate still has season tickets. I binned mine years ago and I don't think I've been to a game since February/March 2014! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I reached apathy last season, binned my season ticket and have barely felt a thing this season. Never saw myself becoming like this, but it's a lot nicer now a bad result doesn't ruin my whole night/weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It is nice that it doesn't ruin your weekend, I agree. Kind of defeats the point of being a fan though, for me and I do miss it in some way. I want to love the team I support and get caught up in all the passion and excitement. Experience the highs and lows and get that irrational anger over losing or something like a bad refereeing decision Now, my stock response to most of our results seems to be: http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view2/1127092/partridge-shrug-o.gif I still get frustrated with how the club is run and how bad our managers have been since Keegan. But on the whole, on match days. I couldn't give a shit. I still see how into it some of my other NUFC supporting mates get and fans of other teams that actually have something to be interested in. I envy them in some way. I miss the feeling of actually supporting the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Solid 9 now.. The games are starting to tick off, does anyone actually think we'll beat West Brom? I can see them hoying Anichibe and Rondon up top and completely bossing us physically. They wil probably score a couple of headers against a very makeshift back 4. Not to mention bringing Berahino on which we know how that is likely to end. After that it's Chelsea and Stoke away. Norwich will beat Villa on Saturday as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The way we capitulated last night does not make me confident for Saturday, particularly with the state of the defence. Games are running out and if we lose we are as good as down imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 We need at least another 19 points t reach the supposed safety of 40 points. To be honest I can't see that this team will be capable of getting 10 more points from the remaining games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
