merlin Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 '8' for me. ..and for me too BG - as I said in the game thread, a team which cannot use home games v Villa and Everton to get 4 points is only headed one way. Lose to WBA and the klaxons will really start howling again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 We're in the s*** and I don't think McClaren knows how to influence games, he really is hopeless. Like Pardew, he's fucking shite and lost in the modern context of modern football. This is a fake club, McClaren is one of many expressions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Going to hinge on who we bring in this coming month. The league is so shameless this year a run of three or four wins could make all the difference and put us near European places. Likewise both the scum and villa could dig themselves out. While we stick with four central midfielders, two of which are defensive minded, we will never offer enough going forward. We desperately need a change of formation or hopefully a change in personnel. We are predictable, if they shut down sissoko and Janmaat then we offer nothing coming forward. Dummett and Colocini are too slow for this league and our defence simply cant cope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Tomorrow's probably our last chance at keeping the 3rd relegation spot a 4-5 horse race rather than between us and Norwich for a fair while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich play Villa at home tomorrow - can see us losing and them winning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 A good centre mid, centre back and centre forward and we'll be fine. Continue with this crop as they are and it'll be very, very tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I think we've got a better squad than most of the bottom 6/7 teams but after seasons of turgid football and heavily losing streams the team is so fragile. I'm really not sure whether we'll be able to stay up. I certainly can't see us pulling clear from the teams around us so I can see this going right down to the final weekend again.

Skeletor Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I feel that Norwich will eventually replace us in the relegation zone and we'll just about survive. It's going to be very ugly all season though. This is Ashley's club though. It will be job done if we stay up as far as he's concerned $$$. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I think a team could go down with more than 40 points this year. With one more game to go to the half way stage, all but the bottom 2 could be on at least 20 points after tomorrow's game. Last year at the same stage, the 14th placed team (Sunderland) had 20 points whilst the 18th/19th teams were on 16 points. Mind you two of the bottom 3 did stay up (Palace were on 16 points and Leicester were bottom on 13). It looks like some good January transfer business is essential because there is little to separate the bottom 8 - well maybe excluding Sunderland and Villa.

Karjala Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Half way through the season, and we are in the bottom 3, playing poorly and not looking like scoring. Gone, unless McLaren goes, and we spend £20m on striker who knows where the goal is (unlike Mitrovic, Perez, De Jong, Riviere) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
