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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Sad but aye, spot on.

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.

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.
