Hhtoon Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I can't see any games we can win now. Maybe draw with Brighton or Fulham if we are lucky With Wilson and 1 of Miggy or ASM back, I can see us getting results against teams. With all 3 back we'd be too strong for Fulham for sure. Hopefully not too late by the time they're back in the fold... I don't think so, we've had them for a fair part of this season and look where we are. With a different manager aye, but with this idiot I have no faith whatsoever. ASM was out for 2 months and then Wilson was injured a couple of weeks later so I wouldn't say that's a fair part of the season. Not really a hill I wish to die on mind as we're clearly pretty shit Just think with them back and the "Jones" effect, we may get some results, with Sheffield and Fulham 2 of the most likely. Unfortunately it may well be too late by then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Had us down on 33pts, with Brighton on 36. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Having looked at the fixtures I think its Brighton slightly more than Fulham as our best bet to avoid relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abra Dubravka Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Half expecting him to revert back to the horrendous back 5 any game now. Despite that being the system he all but canned the players for wanting to play, and tried distancing himself from crimes of against football he was responsible for whilst persisting with it. Doing things his way has conveniently coincided with Jones coming in and the move to 433, and when players he was forever crying he was without had started to come back. He’s got bugger all talent to dig him out the shit up front, Fed is back so wouldn’t be beyond him to go back to the back 5 abortion, he’s always fallen to it at other clubs. Dubravka Manquillo — Lascelles — Fed — Clark — Lewis Willock — Shelvey — Hayden Joe — Fraser Also a bit worried he’s going to go with Gayle and Carroll too. Spoke about it after WBA saying he didn’t have enough time, another week and probably 2 training sessions down the line. An equally worrying thought.

His best bet right now is to forget about playing football since he has no idea how to implement it. Get the defence right and just welly the ball forward and hope something lands right. Don't think you can implement a pressing game with Carroll and Gayle as neither of them are fit enough, and we'd end up leaving huge gaps at the back.

I don't think we will see Lewis for the rest of the season. In my opinion he's behind Dummet and Ritchie. Also there's no way Joelinton and Fraser are getting goals.

Superior Acuña Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think there were positive aspects to both the last relegations - the big clear out of uninterested high paid stars in 09, the Rafa rebuild in 2016. No positives this time (other than that it doesn't really hurt cos of the state of the club). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like you and I have flipped now because I don't think we've looked remotely capable of winning any of the last three - which I think has been demonstrated by the fact we haven't! Jacob Murphy came on whizzed about and fucked Villa up a bit with his pace. Other than that we were utterly dire and didn't get close to the goal until injury time.

Lush Vlad Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 All a bit short term. But IF we had won tonight. We would have finished the weekend with a game in hand and more than likely 4 clear of Fulham. Didn’t realise they had City tomorrow. Feels like a worse result than last week, somehow.

No positives this time (other than that it doesn't really hurt cos of the state of the club). Aye, well put. Constantly seeing people say they hope we get relegated to even hoping we crash and burn. Can’t get my head round it, more worried about stature of the club over next 10-15 years rather than having a relegation on the records just to stick it up Ashley/Bruce. If we go down this season, can’t see us bouncing back. Even if we do, it’ll set us back another 3-5 years irrespective if Ashley leaves. At mid-worst, be up to 10 years out of Premier League, or we just never recover like Leeds did, Forest, Derby, Sheff Wed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
