Beren Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Really worried about us looking at the fixtures. Our home fixtures are against CL-chasing Arsenal and a Liverpool side that could destroy us by 3+ goals if they click on the day (I loathe them, but Rodgers has them playing some nice stuff). Then there's our away form. We could be facing Grimsby, Port Vale and Scunthorpe and I wouldn't feel confident. Really relying on others to not catch us, more than anything IMO.

Ronaldo Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yeah. I do think we'll fluke another win somehow, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 We'll not lose 5 games in a row. We will do the absolute minimum to stay up. Cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Then there's our away form. We could be facing Grimsby, Port Vale and Scunthorpe and I wouldn't feel confident. The crux of the problem. The second worst away record in the division and three away fixtures from the last five. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 1 win in our last 6 and that was a last minute winner. Not good form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm a lukewarm 6 on the relegationometer, still can't see us going down. This is even if we lose tomorrow, which we more than probably will. This entire season has turned into one giant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 This weekend is a big one. Partly for us - although I'm expecting 1 pt at the most - but mostly for the other scores. West Ham need to get something against Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that we're not in a position which allows us to rely on others' results (or at least we won't be if/when Wigan beat Swansea), the margin is too small. We need at least another win, and I really struggle to see where the hell it could come from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we're going down, I don't want us to go down: still, this doesn't prevent me from seeing it as it actually is, and it is hard. Many say "we're gonna be fine", I don't manage do that as it's based on nothing but blind faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 We'll not lose 5 games in a row. We will do the absolute minimum to stay up. c***s. Twice this season we've had runs of four losses and a draw in 5 games. I'm not taking anything for granted until the points are on the board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just thinking if you think relegation is as big a danger as you're suggesting then 20/1 are huge odds. Might as well soften the blow a bit.

Ishmael Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 How would you go about calculating the likelihood of us going down? What would you factor in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'm not necessarily disagreeing by the way, the way we're playing there's no game I'm thinking well we'll definitely win that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ItalianMagpie Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I think our only chance to get some points on the road is that opponents don't turn up. Chances are we'd blow it anyway though, like we did at Swansea (who lost every single game, apart from a draw last week, since winning the League Cup by the way). I mean with such an abysmal away record all season you've got to be optmistic as f*** to think we're winning somewhere and that we're gonna be fine. And IF we don't pick up points away from home we've got to beat at least Liverpool and possibly try and get something out of the Arsenal game: are we up to that?

Teasy Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 If you're like this in our position I dread to think what state you'd be in if you were a Stoke or Norwich fan Seriously I don't think we're certain to stay up, I doubt anyone does and it's certainly worrying. But we're still pretty unlikely to go down. Another 4 points would guarantee survival IMO, and even on current form we're capable of getting those points. Its also quite likely that less than 40 would be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Would probably rather be in Norwich's position than ours tbh - only a point behind us with 3 very winnable home fixtures (Reading, Villa, WBA) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
