BillClinton Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Regardless of how we are playing, there are just too many teams that look shit. Sunderland and Palace look pretty fucked already and the Fulham, Stoke, Cardiff, Norwich group doesn't seem too much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 You'd have to say, looking at the quality on show this year, that we'd have to be really shit to get relegated. We would need to be substantially worse than we were last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to give real credit to the whole team, Mike, Joe and Alan included if they could go that little bit further and make us bad enough to go down. It would be an exceptional performance. The sort of thing they used to write songs about in the old days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Had a look back to the start of the season there. This was after the City game: 10. He's not the only one, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Think we're too inconsistent to go down or finish top 7. Think this sort of pattern (w 3, d 2, l 3) is about our level. Could see us with something daft like win 14, draw 10, lose 14, have a crap gd because we'll get gubbed off the top teams and not hammer anyone ourselves, finish on about 52 points and finish comfortably about 9th.

DJ_NUFC Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I'd take 9th in a heartbeat. And here we're accused of high expectations constantly. 9th is where it's at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here we're accused of high expectations constantly. 9th is where it's at. 9th would be a fair accomplishment, really, if a slight underachievement. The stipulation, for me, is that finishing there would represent a result that's way beyond the requirements set by the board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Unless we suffer from a bad injury crisis, I really can't see us going down. I think we'll be somewhere between 8th-12th come May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If we beat Sunderland at the weekend I honestly think that's one of the spots gone already. They're looking absolutely fucked; without a morale-boosting derby win they've got nothing. Palace will probably go too, they just don't have enough good players. We won't go down barring an absolute disaster, we've already shown enough IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Think we'll be around halfway most of the season. It's normally so tight that some weeks we'll be 8th and , some weeks we'll be 14th and . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Is there a thread comparing our points at this stage to previous stages? That was one of the best threads on here, maybe not so much last year of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Cant see us getting any more than 2pts in our next 6 games, at which point we will be looking good for the drop. I would say Cardiff and the mackems are the best chance of points in those 6, as I fear we wont get anything from Liverpool, Man C, Chelsea and Spuds.
