cp40 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Stop acting like we're down people. Have to keep positive and back the players and Rafa. Tons of football left. yeah, 9.5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I did quite a realistic relegation predictor where Norwich won this and still went down. This isn't a huge blow, but it doesn't exactly help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Might help us tomorrow though....does this not put Norwich 3 points ahead of the SMB's. Might put pressure on them tomorrow to go for the win where beforehand I think they wouldn't be disappointed playing us on the counter and going away with a point.

Ashley17 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Norwich's next 3 are us, Palace and the mackems. 6 pointers all over the place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of football left. yeah, 9.5 I've been at 10 since the Everton game and nothing that's happened since has made me change my mind. Hoping Rafa can work a miracle but giving him only 10 games was typical of Charnley & co.'s ineptitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Not sure what that changes so much We needed to win these next two games, still do and do so and we are above them both. Nothing has changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 On the plus side Norwich picking up points keeps Palace in the equation and makes the dream scenario of Villa, Palace and the mackems all going down just a little bit more possible... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spark Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Not sure what that changes so much We needed to win these next two games, still do and do so and we are above them both. Nothing has changed. There are 7 other games to play! Even if we win those two games we'll only be 2 points ahead of Norwich instead of 5 if they had lost today. Makes our task a lot more difficult to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 '7' for me. As said earlier, the Norwich result changes very little - we still need to win. Tomorrow is massive. Lose and I think it's game over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 It's not like Norwich where never going to win another game all season, we would have needed to keep picking a win here and there anyway. It really doesn't change anything to me, we needed to win the next two games to climb out of the bottom 3 and still do. It was never a case where it would have been done and dusted if we won the next two games either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The lack of clean sheets is going to bury us. Likely to score against Sunderland and Norwich but keeping them both scoreless is very unlikely. Anything other 6 points in those games, we're finished IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the season ended after the next two games, yeah. It was a massive 3 points for them today and it's really bad news for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Because we need to win the next two to go above them, we still do and that hasn't changed. We can deal with the rest of the season when it comes to it, but in the more immediate future we needed to win two games to go above them and still do. In that sense nothing has changed.

Ketsbaia Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I'm still quite confident of beating Norwich, they're not particularly good. We've been just as bad but Rafa has 2 weeks to work on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hell What if I put it like this: The more points Norwich get, the more likely we are to get relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Can't believe people saying Norwich winning changes nothing. It changes everything because we can't even climb out of the relegation zone with a win tomorrow now. If we win tomorrow and then draw with Norwich we stay below them but if Norwich hadn't won today 4 points from the next 2 games would have guaranteed us being above them. With the games running out that's a massive psychological boost for a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hàve to win the next two now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Might well give Norwich the confidence they can get out of it, and see them pick up another win or two too. A draw tomorrow and NE football is shown for what it is - shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 It's two out of us, the mackems, Norwich, Swansea & Palace. Said it weeks ago and was laughed at, looking more and more likely now. Especially if Villa nick something against Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Said it before, we should have got rid of McClaren during that 18 day break that we had. Would have given a chance for the Stoke and Bournemouth game. Now we can't really have any slip ups and also need a surprise win or two from somewhere.
