McCormick Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 As I said 2 weeks ago, we’re fairly fucked. I expect us to still be 19th with the gap 8 points or more by the time we get any signings in by Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 7 or 8. A new manager is more important than January. But I assume the owners will just do some more interviews and make more shortlists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'm up to a 6 now. Yesterday was absolutely shocking, players need a new voice to listen to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might well do and especially by January. It's only right that we get the right appointment (not sure we will due to our current position), but every week that passes, the chances of that gap widening are very real. We have a run of games coming up, where there is the possibility of a few points (not saying we will mind); failure to do so will leave the task of staying up pretty bleak imho. We shall see what this week brings though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our games up to Burnley could see some points but we're only getting them if Jones isn't the one picking the team and playing players out of position and benching our best options.

Only hope is that our exceptional circumstances could convince a Wilson or Willock to stay for one year in the Championship. ASM is probably a bit too far. Even assuming Watford will drop, I don't see who on earth can be the 3rd team except us. Cut adrift and it'll likely increase by January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but your inference is that they are just messing around, which there is no evidence of and that a change in manager would have seen a different result against Chelsea, which I'm doubtful of. If we don't have someone by Brighton, let's talk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 6 points come January is realistic also. If it extends though between now and then, it has to be a concern as that's 3 clear games to make up.

Dokko Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 6pts adrift already. Reckon we'll be double that before we can get players in and by then it will be too late. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Worrying times and our fixtures don't look good either. Even spending in January won't guarantee safety if we're as far adrift as it looks possible we could be by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think I was being particularly harsh either. Edited October 31, 2021 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I won’t say we are doomed at all until we know the new manager, that’s what will decide our fate IMO and I think one will be appointed this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 You've got to remember that last season this this is the thread where people were panicking Josh Maja was going to score 10-15 goals in half a season, objectivity totally goes out of the window.

I doubt 17th place will have that many points. Closer to a point per game which keeps us just about in touch ready for reinforcements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
