The only saving grace is that Watford, Leeds and Burnley have games that you would also expect them to lose.

timinperu Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 My real worry is that the other teams around us are picking up points with the occasional win. Really cannot see where the next win will come from, against any team. The defense, is weak, but slowly improving, but goals against per game are worrying, and generally do not lie. We have one decent half fit striker. We are going to have an awful lot of Brewcie luck to gain points. There is not a team there at present. However, I am hopeful that our new landlords are improving things, and want to succeed, and are trying to find the root problems, rather than some more chip paper with cheap emulsion to cover the gaping holes. Time is the issue this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 6pts adrift with a bad GD, could easily be 9 by the New year. Didn't Rafa try and aim for a point a game? We are already way behind that, and for all I think 32 could be safe this season, it still means us getting 28 from 28. We somehow need to find 11pts in the next 10 games I think, to give us a chance. Right now we don't look like getting any points. Looks like the players don't care much for Jones neither.

Ben Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 The current situation is 100% the fault of Ashley and Bruce however the likes of Edwards and Holt will pin this on the new manager and owners, in fact I'll be surprised if they don't both write a "Karma" article to prove how great they are.

Ankles Bennett Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 My worry is that if we get relegated the epl will put in place an O&D test that the PIF can't satisfy when we win promotion back to the EPL and will be disqualified as a director which means PCP and the Reuben brothers will have to bankroll the club and the Reubens may not want that and PCP may not be able to bankroll us without tje PIF funding!!!

As I’ve said a few times that wouldn’t get through a court challenge if they did, the Premier League have set the bar already saying that PIF are separate from the state, so what are they going to disqualify them on?

MrRaspberryJam Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Emery in. What's everyone at now? Below 5 for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 8 with emery. Until those wins come in and players start arriving nothing really changes too much. Was 11 so heading in the right direction. Be a 5 if we beat Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The squad is just so fucking shit. We have a great chance with Emery, who’ll be able to get them playing to a plan, but he’ll have to do it pretty quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The appointment in name only, I'd go a 5. There's still a chance it could fail. If he gets a reaction and it looks like people are buying in, adjust accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 If we can get a few wins with Emery in then in January we can buy some actually good players and that should give us a few additional wins. It's doable but we've lost so much time with Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I'm at a 4 now. I can't see Emery being a disaster so I think we'll stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 10 we aint getting out of this. Think the new owners are becoming paralysed with process. 4 weeks and the answer could be Howe. How? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I think it'll be close, like 50/50 at this point in time (and that's being generous) - not blaming the new owner though, the damage was already done before they got here, to both reputation, state of the club, et all. If the club itself was viable to a good, top end manager then fair enough, I just think we're in such a state that it was always going to be difficult. If we go down, it won't be the end of the world, it'll just postpone out world domination for a season or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 No chance we get 7 from the next 3 but I don't think that's necessarily a must. I'd say a minimum of 7 from the next 5 is needed, ideally 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
