Heron Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I am on a 7 like. Think we could very well be up s***s creak by the end of January. One game played between now and the end of January. Good point. Well made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 2 at the moment. Fail to see Leicester, Burnley or Hull finishing above us for starters, that's before throwing in QPR, Sunderland, Palace, WBA.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If we are to stay in this division the minimal I would expect is 5 points from the next 3 games. In reality, we should be getting 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 35 will probably be enough to stay up so we need 2 wins and 2 draws from the last 16 games. Should be easy enough, but keep losing and the pressure will start to crank up and up... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Still don't think we're likely to fall into the kind of tailspin that did for us last time, but we need to beat Hull next time out. Massive game for a variety of reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I hate to say it but I think Hull will beat us... Bruce knows what the atmosphere is like on Tyneside, knows our run of form, and knows if they come out fighting and get ahead early they will beat us.

Nexumaster Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I went with a 7 a while back (ever the pessimist) but will shunt up to an 8 if Carver is left in charge. I know there are teams who are supposed to be worse than us but I think we'll just deflate more and more while Burnley, Palace, West Brom and teams of that ilk will find that extra bit of belief. New poll. I'm now an 8. He might fluke a win against Hull but JC is going to get bummed by his bezzie mate Pards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'll be honest here - I can't see us getting 40 points. It'll still probably be enough to stay up but it'll be a massive struggle to get a point a game with Carver in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 On average you need 36 points, but aye probably won't even need that, 40 is more likely to have us 13th or 14th than relegated IMO. If I thought there was any realistic chance at all I'd stick £100 on at 33/1, but just think in this case it'd be pissing £100 down the drain.

Disco Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 We're shite but I think we'll be able to get the required 11 points.

Guest Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 If we're talking purely in terms of survival which clearly the club is, there's 4 wins in there like. Still think we'll finish mid to late 40 point mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 We thought that last time. We have more points than we did last time and the bottom teams are a lot worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 2 wins, 2 draws and 12 defeats from now until the end of the season would give us the points tally that would have kept us up the season we went down. Even if we're god awful with something like 3 wins & 3 draws and 10 defeats we stay up imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The only thing that really concerns me is our defense. Only Burnley and QPR have conceded more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Just checked the odds and we're as big as 33/1 to go down. Personally I don't think we'll go down at this stage but that's exceptional odds because we will be dragged into the bottom 6. If we go into a proper tailspin then I wouldn't rule it out totally.
