Elliottman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 We have five winnable home games left and we look so weak away from home so I can't see us getting much in our travels . That leaves us with 36 points if we beat the makems I don't think that's enough I can't see us getting another point away from home and no way we win the home games needed. I think us and Mackems are done for. We are self harming at the moment with silly mistakes and not taking chances. Even if we do have a few players that can step it up at home on their day, we don't have the resilience to grind out dull draws or 1-0 wins needed you dont think we will get one single point from the away games remaining? not a single one? Correct, I honestly don't see what game I we will get a point in. Obviously hope im wrong but we are awful Did you think that after last weekend?

No, I thought we looked decent at home and will pick up some points. But away from home is a different story. We aren't even getting draws. We have lost to these 3 times in a row man and that cock end picked 3-5-2 again despite it being a shit formation and losing a few weeks ago playing same shitty formation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 West Brom, Swansea and Palace home win. Lose to scum as usual and who knows with Bournemouth. Man City will win 2-0. Only Norwich and Villa where I see us getting a result. We are pretty much always terrible away against the rest. So I predict 14 points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shush Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Here's my over optimistic view. AWAY: 7 Points Everton L Chelsea L Stoke L Leicester L Norwich W Southampton D Liverpool L Villa W HOME: 13 Points West Brom W Man City L Bournemouth W Makems D Swansea W Palace W Spurs L 20 points, just staying up. And that's dependent on a massive change in form. In 23 games we've only won 5 times. We would have to find 6 wins in our last 15 and pick up a couple of draws to get there. When you put it like that it seems an impossible task. In fact, if you take our win/draw/loss ratio of 5/6/12 and apply it to the last 15 games ignoring who they are against, we would end up with 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses. That will get us 13 points and end on 34. It's rare but possible to stay up on 34 points, but more likely you will go down finishing 19th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Our record is very similar to 2012/13. After 23 games that year, we had the same number of wins, draws and losses. 41 goals conceded as well. Only difference is we had 3 more goals and we were not in the bottom three that season. We are now, and if we keep going like this, same players and manager, I'm convinced we're going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 When I had a look at them, then having risen from the collapsed shock, I had us on an optimistic 14 points and a pessimistic 12... Unless we get the signings of a proven goalscorer, who hits the ground running, a left back who can balance the team and have our better players perform consistently away from home as well as at home (Gini in particular) then I fear we are scuppered. We may get zip away from home and one of the home 'bankers' is the derby. Very fucked imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Those away fixtures are horrific The away fixtures don't seem so bad to me, on paper. On current position only one of the teams is in the top five ("1st tier"), two in the 2nd tier, two in the 3rd, and two in the 4th (4th tier being bottom 5). For me it has just been that we have been so woeful away from home, 7 points in 11 games, 6 goals scored, GD= -17; man that looks s***, doesn't really matter that we have played decent football at times; at this stage it is all about the points. Edit: applied to the seven home fixtures, we play two in 1st tier (top five), none in 2nd tier, two in 3rd tier, and three in 4th tier (WBA, Makems, Swansea).

Ketsbaia Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Think there's 9 winnable games there - even Chelsea (a) isnt what it was. Our away form feels shocking but we've actually won two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may have won two but our away form IS shocking. We've scored the least away goals in the league and only Villa and Swansea have won less away games.

midds Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 One slight positive is the fact we still have to play all of the teams around us (4 of them at home) and if we get a good set of results in those 6 fixtures then we'll probably stay up. The 4 sides we've played twice are all in the current top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Failure to win games such as Villa (H), Watford (A), Swansea (A), West Brom (A), Watford (H), Sunderland (A), Stoke (H) should prove costly for us. Looking pretty much certain to be Villa, and 2 from Norwich, Sunderland and NUFC. Mackems have too much of a recent history of getting out of it to consider them relegated just yet.

It's f***ing pathetic. http://i.imgur.com/zjQm7u2.png http://i.imgur.com/Oo4fgby.png http://i.imgur.com/jTxq7rJ.png Makes sobering reading! Using their categories, we have two top third teams at home, two middle third, and four bottom third. Having yet to play 4 of the 7 bottom third teams at home maybe sheds light on why we've got a 0.67 points per game average against our 'shitsville neighbours' and a more respectable 1.11 ppg ave against the top third. Away we have two top third, three middle third, and three bottom third opponents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
