Skeletor Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 What result do you want from the Swansea/Sunderland game? A draw. Although I see Swansea pulling away eventually anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 What result do you want from the Swansea/Sunderland game? Doesn't matter. If we can't do it for ourselves other results are irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Four games over the Christmas fixtures and we got one point - against Villa at home. But it's okay because we played ever so well. Sick of these hard luck stories. Need to get points. A much more slender defeat than expected yesterday but ultimately no points. Results elsewhere were awful. Need to turn things around quickly or else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 If we leave it late like we normally do in the window we are gone , If we act within the weeks we should be ok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Surprised this thread had dropped to the second page. If/when we get relegated I can see Perez, Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Cissé and Janmaat all leaving. Maybe Mbemba too. After that I think the rest who are still in contract will probably stay as there won't be many takers for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The club will no doubt see today's cup exit as a massive boost to our survival chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Points from the last 18 games of the last 3 seasons: 2012/13 - 21 2013/14 - 16 2014/15 - 12 None of which would be enough to keep us up this year, without even considering the obvious downward trend. Whichever way you look at it we're fucked I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I really can't see how we can stay up unless we sign some real, genuine quality this month. At the absolute minimum we need a CB to come in and stabilise that back four in central defence and a striker to put away chances. I just don't have any faith in Charnley and Carr bringing in these proper signings so for that reason I'm resigned to believe we're almost down. I'd put us at 8 1/2 - 9 currently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 At the moment it's creaked up to 9 IMO. We are as good as down without signing several first team players who will need to make an immediate impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 We create more chances now than we ever did in Pardew's last couple of seasons and Carver's miserable attempt. We even play with a clearer game plan yet I can't see see us managing to stay up this time around. I think if we get nothing from these next two games and results around us are bad then I think we'll go down without a fight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 10 days into the window and not a sniff of a player through the doors. We've no chance of staying up. Best thing is no one cares. None of the players care, they'll be off to pastures new, in fact for some relegation is great for them as it forces the club in to selling them for cheap. The manager doesn't give a shit, he's just hoping he gets lucky if he keeps doing the same thing. The board don't have any idea what they are doing and the fans are just day trippers, couldn't give a fuck about the club and its direction as long as they've had a nice day out with their mates. This club is nothing apart from a fucking sad joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 We know we lack quality but I just don't see enough characters who are willing to fight to get us out of it too. Most probably know they'll move on if we go down. Furthermore McClaren doesn't seem to have what it takes to fire up what we have for a relegation scrap.

Darth Crooks Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Again, what fight is going to be instilled/inspired by a club that holds no managing director or manager accountable, actively demeans cup competition and is overtly happy with subsistence? Fight had to come from the top and filter down before character and a positive ethic can show. You can cite Nolan and Barton I suppose but Nolan wasn't really effective at this level ultimately and Barton was largely driven by sociopathic tendency.
