timeEd32 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 If he loses tomorrow he has to go. Tomorrow is a huge game. Massive game, a draw just isn't enough given Norwich could beat Villa. I'm not sure whether I would be happy to lose and replace him or win and see him potentially hang on until it's too late. Yeah, tough one. The 3 points are massive, but would they sack him after a win? Maybe would do so anyway after losing at Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them sacking him for losing against a Chelsea or Man City but losing to West Brom at home surely finishes him off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we assume Norwich gets a point against Villa and then we lose at Chelsea we're still in 18th heading into late February and there won't be a better time to make a change for the rest of the season.

TK-421 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The alternatives to McClaren at this stage Whoever they want, I just hope they line them up and get some sort of agreement before sacking McClaren... if they are gonna sack him. Last thing we need is to be stumbling along without a manager/head coach, like last time. Otherwise Carver will be on the blower! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 So does Ashley think ahead and put in relegation clauses in contracts? Do Russian submarines sink causing everyone on board to die? Allegedly none of the new players have relegation clauses, not sure how true that is but wouldn't put it past these idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Anyone with more than 7-8 points than us after today is safe imo. So if we lose, it probably limits it to two of us, Norwich and Sunderland. Win, and it keeps teams like Bournemouth, Swansea, WBA and possibly even Palace depending on their result today, looking over their shoulder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 A near-perfect set of scores today, although starting to believe Sunderland will get out of it. West Brom are shocking, cant score and have nasty fixtures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Still right in the shit considering the next best team is effectively four points away. We can't simply rely on Norwich being worse than us. We've got six home games left and need to win them all. Might as well fucking forget about the away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Aye didn't realise how hard their fixtures are, but they're the sort of team who'll nick a 1-0 out of nowhere against someone when you don't expect it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Two of the home games are against Spurs and Man City. And I don't trust us to win the derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Real six pointer that one, we've now got ourselves within 3 points of WBA and dragged them right into the mix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If we sort our away form out, I reckon we'd be okay, as we can't rely on winning every home game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Still an 8 from me we can't string two performances together so could be right back in the shot depending on the results points wise we don't have any form of cushion or margin of error with the current bottom 3 beyond one set of results so could do the cycle of trading places for a while yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If we want any chance of staying up, we MUST start beating the teams around us... and we have Bournemouth, Mackems and Swansea at home, with Norwich and Villa away... Palace at home could be a 6 pointer by then as well. However, in my guesses yesterday, I only expected 8 points from those 5 matches. :/ I still think we may need to replace McClaren if we want to stay up, as WBA didn't really turn up today, but we still didn't make the game safe.

Guest neesy111 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Still a 6. We have to start picking up points away from home, even draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Still think it'll be us, Norwich and Villa going down. Mackems will get out of it with a derby win and then a rise in form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
