Espio Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I just can't see relegation, one of the best English managers around, and a January transfer window with our spending power, we should get out of this. Obviously never say never but under Ashley and Bruce I'd have said it's inevitable, but now, I'd say it's highly unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlymouthGeordie Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I think it is a huge task to stay up and there is no doubting the next 3 home games are pivotal. In that time, Watford have the following fixtures: Man Utd (h) Leicester (a) Chelsea (h) Man City (h) If we get 7 points for our 3 home games and Arsenal away I'd fancy our chances of being 2 points ahead of them before our horrible December run. Leeds have the following December fixtures: Brentford (h) Chelsea (a) Man City (a) Arsenal (h) Liverpool (a) Burnley have a horrible January. As I'm typing this it's fair to say nothing is decided in November. We need to drag ourselves back amongst it with our 3 winnable home games and if we get to January less than 6 points from safety I fancy us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 There are no unwinnable games under a manager that sets the team up right and picks his best players. The key one is the first win, get that against Brentford and we will take off I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The next 3 home games are vital. We have to win at least 2 of them or we are fucked. We strengthen in January and a lot will depend on our home form Jan to April: Watford, Everton, Villa, Brighton, Palace, Wolves, Leicester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 8 hours ago, McCormick said: There’s no chance? Sorry but that’s bordering on delusional. I said no chance a decent manager who spends in January takes us down. Howe is a decent manager. Signings in January are inevitable. We’re not going down. Mind, I feel the same way about people voting anything above a 5. Difference is that I’m perfectly relaxed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 We need to be going into January in touching distance of safety. We can still be in the relegation zone then, but we can't be cut adrift to the point where potential players see it as an unlikely task. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'd say 7. Looking at the table, and the teams, I can't really imagine anyone outside of Norwich, Newcastle, Burnley, Watford, and Brentford being involved. Obviously it's still early days, and a team can get sucked in, and maybe someone like Villa will, given their current run, but there doesn't seem to be too much margin, and Burnley and Dyche will usually find a way. One thing I was surprised about were some pundits saying bad for Newcastle that Norwich beat Brentford. I know we were temporarily bottom because of it, but I was fully wanting Norwich to beat them when following on Soccer Saturday. Newly promoted side (Brentford), on a bit of a losing streak, and we play them at home next, definitely the best result that Norwich beat them IMO.

geordiesteve710 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Gone from a 9 to a 7. Was encouraged by most of the last half hour on Saturday, and it's useful that Howe will get the best part of two weeks with most of the squad. Clearly the next 3 home fixtures are key.

I will never understand people I don’t think Howe is the right choice and I’ve said that numerous times this last week, so I’m not suddenly going to change my mind on that front. I’ve also said I would love nothing more than him to prove me wrong and that he will get my 100% support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 On all usual metrics I'd be a 10 but this situation has basically never happened to any other club so I don't really listen to the 'no club has survived xyz' stuff.

We’re underperforming the players we have, and everything else about the club is about to get much better too. That said, I’m not moving my vote until we play a game or two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
