[Lush Vlad]

2 decent players in this week, or we might as well call it a day.  Actually decent players, though.  Remy and Shelvey would be ideal, even if it is only a short term fix. 

 

I would imagine we'll sign this Saivet, carry on being shit, then maybe add 1-2 more right at the end of the window.  As we'll panic after we're still in the bottom three.  Even that is probably wishful thinking, mind.

 

It's at a 9 now.  Sign some players, I'd maybe drop it back down to a 7.

[Optimistic Nut]

We need 8-10 points from the next 5 just to have a fighting chance.

 

Man U (home)

West Ham (home)

Watford (away)

Everton (away)

West Brom (home)

 

Anything less and we're finished.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I think 5 or 6 max from those, more likely 3 or 4.

[Lush Vlad]

I actually fancy us to beat Man U.  Their slow, ball hogging approach and complete lack of goals.  Might actually suit our style of play, if we set up like we did against Liverpool and Spurs.

 

0-3.  Rooney hat trick

 

West Ham and WBA are 'winnable' home games.  But we've been f***ing those up for a number of years now.

I think the opposite about Man U actually. I think they'll beat us easy because they won't give us the chance to hit them on the counter which seems our game now.

Pessimistic Nut.

[mrmojorisin75]

Think we'll get a point from Manyoo. Typical one of those games where they raise the effort and quality.

I said it before we played them at the beginning of the season. If we don't attack Man Utd much then we will come away with a point because they won't be able to exploit us when we are going forward, and this is probably the one game of the season where Colo can mop up what they can throw at him.

[Guest boumsongandbust]

Could be a million miles off higher or lower but I can see 15 points between now and the end of the Season, meaning we'd finish on 32 and would have been relegated nine of the last ten years.

 

Not to be the perennial sceptic, but I can't see us winning until WBA and bar the odd home point here and there, it aint looking grand.

I think 5 or 6 max from those, more likely 3 or 4.

Think even that total is optimistic imo.

Those are not easy at all, if we get two points I would be amazed.

[Karjala]

Yep, I think we somehow need 3 wins from those 5. Just can't see it.

Amazed?!? 2 draws from 5 games and you'd be amazed? Honestly.

[sh74]

If we do go down who of the current squad can you see jumping ship?

We didn't play like that at all against Arsenal.

From those fixtures, they way we are playing ,yep amazed.... Honestly .

4 defeats and maybe 1 draw is the way i read those , unless we are signing massively, and they hit the ground running.

 

We are s*** mate..have you not noticed??

You must have been taken off in a ambulance after the Tottenham game

 

Seriously, you can't predict this stuff.  We're shit but those 5 fixtures are hardly super tough, they're easier than our last 5 that's for sure and we could easily end up winning one or even a couple.  it would take about 8 or 9 points from those 5 to amaze me like

If we get 8-9 points I will be astounded not amazed, and will need an ambulance!

Your'e right of course it's only opinions and guesswork.

I'm just basing it on our performances so far, our results so far, the zero faith I have in our management team and my opinion that the next 5 sides are better than us (west brom being the obvious one for me for us to get something)

 

We all know Man U love battering us at home, they are bound to turn up sooner rather than later in a game as well (plus they're spawny cunts.)

West ham, Watford and Everton are all comfortably better sides than us and I can't see us winning any of those.

 

hope I'm wrong and it's 15 points out of 15.

[Teasy]

Not sure about West Ham like, they were great earlier in the season but recently they've been poor away from home.  Thought they looked more toothless than us against Swansea.  Perhaps they've got players back now, but either way I see that as a winnable game.

[Guest Phillipealbert]

5 at the minute.  As in I think there's a 50% chance of going down.  Although we are heading into a rough period, remember there are some other terrible teams down there.  If we get a striker or Mitrovich learns how to score, we'll be fine, if not, we're down.

 

Simple as that really.

[Karjala]

Carroll is back and seemingly playing well, he'll love an afternoon up against Colo the Cowardly Clown.

[Teasy]

How many times has he faced Coloccini and how many has he scored?  He's scored none against us in 8 matches, not sure how many Coloccini played

 

I'll still be worried if he manages to stay fit another 5 days, but still he's hardly proved to be a great threat against us.

Spot on.  He doesn't seem to be half the player he was towards the end with us.

Similar feelings, it's still touch and go. If our new midfield is any good we could stay up.

[Ketsbaia]

We've got 2 winnable home games in the next 5 days. We'll have a better idea after those.
