exactly, we are relying on 2/3 sides to go on a poor run and for us to do something we have been simply incapable of doing in more than a year not wanting to  dismiss the new signings and their potential influence on our fortunes or style of play but effectively it may not turn around straight away and if it doesnt it may be too late to catch 1/2 to get to 16th /17th what a season whoever in the board descided to state top 8 needs to be taken outside and shot.

 

Not really, we're just relying on us picking up 3 more points than Norwich. Bottom two are gone imo.

 

 

hmmm.

 

Think we are in serious trouble.

 

IMO the most likely outcome in the Derby is a loss, either our players fold, or some strange officiating.

 

Then there's McClarens knack of losing games, there's no mistaking he has that ability.

 

Not looking great.

The really worrying aspect of our team is there is no one in the side who will take the game by the scruff of the neck and drive the team forward.  In other words not a single leader on the pitch which means we will be relegated.  I believe it will be villa us and Norwich who go down because the mackems have got goals in them.  We haven't.

though last night was demoralising none of us really expected anything else did they?  our fate will be decided by

 

WBA (h)

Bournemouth (h)

Sunderland (h)

Norwich (a)

Swansea (h)

Palace (h)

Villa (a)

 

7 games where knackers has to realistically be taking 3 points in 6 of them, don't and we're gone, it's really that simple now - we have to beat those teams in the bottom half of the table and palace of course who pardew has in a death spiral which we can only hope continues

 

That's where we're at basically. Need 16 points from those as a minimum to stand a chance.

MK Dons - we are coming for you.

Saivet, Krul (he'll probably still be out at the start of the season) Mitro might stay.

If we repeat that performance on Saturday.  Then it has to be a 9 or a 10.  I expected fuck al last night and our away form has been terrible all season.  So for now, nothing has changed IMO. 

 

Fail to win on Saturday and it will be panic stations.

 

:frantic:

He will only last 2 games, but Fistpumps will at least give a bit of giving a damn on the pitch.

Still in a mood about last nights result and performance. Particularly the injuries and the stupid red card.

 

I still maintain we can stay up. We can finish above Norwich, Sunderland and Villa because they're equally as disgusting as us. Everyone else are way ahead, finishing above them is the best we can hope for.

 

I'm morbidly looking forward to going to the game on Saturday because I think the result will be telling whether we have a hope or not.

Don't be morbid St1pe it's only a game ... take your lass shopping then have a nice meal out and forget them...  :)

 

I'd absolutely love to be in a situation to not give a shit about losing :)

 

I've no idea why we do it to ourselves as a fan base.

I was at that stage last season.  Just apathy at every loss and almost able to just laugh it off.  Before that, it would ruin my entire weekend. 

 

Somehow, I got sucked back into caring a while back.  I'm even going to the game on Saturday, as I'm up in the NE for the first time in ages and my mate still has season tickets.  I binned mine years ago and I don't think I've been to a game since February/March 2014!

I reached apathy last season, binned my season ticket and have barely felt a thing this season. :( Never saw myself becoming like this, but it's a lot nicer now a bad result doesn't ruin my whole night/weekend.

It is nice that it doesn't ruin your weekend, I agree.  Kind of defeats the point of being a fan though, for me and I do miss it in some way.  I want to love the team I support and get caught up in all the passion and excitement.  Experience the highs and lows and get that irrational anger over losing or something like a bad refereeing decision :lol:

 

Now, my stock response to most of our results seems to be:

I still get frustrated with how the club is run and how bad our managers have been since Keegan.  But on the whole, on match days.  I couldn't give a shit. 

 

I still see how into it some of my other NUFC supporting mates get and fans of other teams that actually have something to be interested in.  I envy them in some way.  I miss the feeling of actually supporting the team  :(

Solid 9 now..

 

The games are starting to tick off, does anyone actually think we'll beat West Brom?  I can see them hoying  Anichibe and Rondon up top and completely bossing us physically.  They wil probably score a couple of headers against a very makeshift back 4.

 

Not to mention bringing Berahino on which we know how that is likely to end.  After that it's Chelsea and Stoke away.  Norwich will beat Villa on Saturday as well
