Elliottman Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 People being higher than a 5 There's very, very little chance of us going down, calm down ffs. Will do well to stay up imo. We have a s*** "manager" who is likely to implode at any time. Wouldn't be surprised to see some sales too. We're 8 clear with a better gd. There's 16 games left, we probably need 3 wins. 4 max. We might not finish in the top half but its unlikely we will go down. That said, we need the first win ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 People being higher than a 5 There's very, very little chance of us going down, calm down ffs. Pardew nearly took us down with a team that had Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Coloccini, Sissoko, Debuchy and Santon in it. It's not that far beyond the realms of possibility that a man that's not even a manager, with an inferior team could do exactly that when we're currently on 27 points, with 3rd bottom on 19points, with 16 games to go. Saying that, it would take some achievement to go down this season, considering how bad the quality is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as good as some of our players were the cunt wouldn't use the likes of Ben Arfa (played only 3 of those last 16 matches and only started 2) and Ba was gone before Sissoko, Debuchy ect came in. Like you say would be an amazing achievement from Carver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 We aren't getting relegating but it will be Grim either way. He does decent he becomes a contender for the job full time. He does poorly we stay up and he's still a contender. We are shocking totally awful and we get relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I will go .5 to 1, so a 5 to 10% chance. This is still too high for comfort. Last season, NUFC had an horrific finish from this point of the season on, yet the same results from last season in the same time frame would probably see NUFC safe in 99.9% of scenarios. In the final 16 matches of 2013-2014, they managed 13 points (which is obviously relegation form as it would=30 points in 38 matches). A repeat of those results would see them to the mythical number of 40. It would take a collapse of epic proportions and a substantial rise from the bottom teams to relegate NUFC. The past three seasons the 18-th placed team has had 35 points (EDIT:35 points on average), we have 27 and it is January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree TBH, not much chance at all but still more worrying than it should be. More worrying is the horrible few months we're going to have to endure.

gallowgate_pete Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Probably 4-5 tonight, maybe as high as a 7 if we screw up the next three games. FWIW, my (still 'optimistic') prediction, starting with Hull, is: WDLLWLDLDLLDLWDL = 41 points, 15th place. Glorious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am expecting a terrible second half of the season, but I think that was on the cards whether Pardew or Charver was at the helm. Even so it is hard to imagine that we won't get 12 points just going by the law of averages,e specially since we have a squad full of internationals compared to many of the lower half teams. Ashley himself knows this and that is why he is prepared to leave us without a manager for the remainder of the season confident we can pick up the points to keep us safe regardless of who is in charge.

chicago_shearer Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Same thing that happened last time. It can't happen, it won't happen, there are worse teams than us, just need a point here, Hull have a tougher run in....and then we're down. You should have a pretty active pessimistic imagination when it comes to creative, initially implausible ways that this club can fail. The squad is better than at least 3 teams below us. That's totally irrelevant. The "head coach" is more than capable of squandering an 8 point advantage in two months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The Hull game is the turning point, win it and be hugely surprised if we go down despite Carver. Lose it and we are in for a long hard fight as most of us predict. A draw helps us more than Hull. I'm at 6 right now, will go up to 7 with a defeat and down to 4 with a win.
