The College Dropout Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Anything but a win at Carrow Road and we are finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 There are realistic ways in which we could draw both this game & the one against Norwich and still stay up. Our games against Swansea, Palace & Villa are also key. Plus Norwich/Sunderland playing eachother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 We couldn't have asked for a better run-in, we play all the bottom teams. That's pretty much what we have going for us. And Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Maybe...I just don't think the players have it in them to handle the pressure. Today was a must win and, man for man, we should've had the better of them. Fancy not buying a striker though, man. Fucking hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Sunderland's arse will fall out after today. Norwich are still shit, they have picked up points by law of average. We are very much in this, no need to be so pessimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Aren't you the only one out of the bottom four who get to play Villa again? That's a big advantage. Apparently Sunderland have the easiest run in, though I have no idea what any of them are other than we still have Norwich, Spurs, Villa and City to play again. Not easy at all,of their remaining games the only one I can see them getting a win is their next,West Brom at home (judging by how poor West Brom were against us). After that I can see a mixture of losses and draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieT Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 9. Expected to see a significant improvement today but we were second best for most the game. Today was a must win and the Norwich game a must-not-lose in my eyes, but we probably need a win there now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was a must win and, man for man, we should've had the better of them. Fancy not buying a striker though, man. f***ing hell. And some still concluded we'd had a good transfer window. Thick as bricks. This.....it made no sense whatsoever, it has been as clear as it could be that we needed a striker above all else, and when no striker came in I for one felt we were all but doomed, utterley brainless....to win football matches you have to score goals and our players cant do that. No manager in the world can save us without scoring goals, hence to be honest the appointment of Rafa has not done alot for me as unless he fancies staying and rebuilding the club, all it ever was likely to achieve was to take the heat of the fat controller for a few weeks. I think Ashley knew as much too....a desperate gamble that was taken far too late and in truth was never likely to succeed.....no blame whatsoever on Rafa he has not been able to bring players in, sadly i dont think he ever will.

Karjala Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 We have 4 games we must win, Norwich, Swansea, Palace and Villa. Win those 4 and we are save. Problem is, we've been saying that all season and not coming up with the goods. I would say all of our games we have a chance of winning, or certainly getting a point from, theres no definite losses left at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, we might need a "surprise" win in one of our tougher games imo. Have a feeling it will go down to the last day. Let's hope the title race is sorted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Remains firm at 9 for me. Almost time for the fire sale thread and who do we keep in the championship threads. Tbh on the majority of today's showing I'm not sure getting rid of the lot of them is such a bad idea. Losing Rafa is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bada Bing Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 If we don't beat Norwich its pretty much curtains. If we lost I doubt we'd claw back 6 points + inferior goal difference. Draw is a waste of time also. Crucial match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 It's very sad but I just don't see us getting out of it. We binned McClaren far too late and made an absolute pig's fucking ear of the transfer window when it was blatantly obvious what two positions needed strengthening. We're going. This.

Jayson Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Right Draw with Norwich, lose to Southampton, Draw with Swansea, Lose to Liverpool, Beat Palace, Beat villa. 33pts Sunderland. Beat West Brom, Lose to Leicester, beat Norwich, Lose to Arsenal, Draw with Stoke, Lose to Chelsea 33pts (30/31 if dont beat Norwich) Norwich. Draw with us, Beat Palace, Beat Sunderland, Draw with Watford, Lose to Man utd, Lose to Arsenal 36pts (33/34 if dont beat sunlun/Palace. 30/31 if both) Palace. Lose to West Ham, Beat Norwich, Lose to Arsenal, draw with Everton, Lose to us, draw with stoke 38pts (35/36 Norwich, less depending on draws) Basically thats the minimum we'd need if we cannot win in the 3 games after Norwich. Need to draw against Norwich atleast, a win is clearly needed though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
