AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Was a 9 after Stoke. Still a 9 as I reckon there's a 10% chance they'll sack him. But if they sack him, do you think we're then 0 to go down? Maths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Said if before and it still stands, if McClaren stays, we're down. New manager and there's hope, depending on who it is of course. If we get Moyes I would give him as good as 50/50 on keeping us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phillipealbert Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I know this is just a bit of fun, but how does everyone work their ratings out? I do it on probability, i.e. 7 = 70% chance of relegation. I'm a 7 ATM. Likely to go down, with an outside chance that Two Haircuts will get sacked and we'll stay up. If Chubbs stays with his man, we're going down. If we go down, there's a high chance we'll stay down for a decade. Bad times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Now at a firm 9 and will go to 10 if the next 2 games are lost...this has been coming for a long time and its no surprise that the club are where they are apart from the fact that McClaren must have almost zero motivational powers to get such awful performances from players who should at least be capable of finishing 14th. Charnley reminded me of Nero fiddling whilst Rome burnt when they showed him during the game yesterday....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Dunno if it's the alcohol, but I feel more confident with the defeat + McClaren out combo than if we'd won today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Stayed the same on basis McClaren is more likely to go. If he's still in charge by Sunderland though, 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 10 if the second best coach in the premiership is still bringing out the worst in what we've got and generally stinking-up the place with his horseshit patter, for next match.9 with a new broom-any fucker- prior to then. Starting Fucking Rivière. Christ almighty. Other results suggest it is us or Makems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 If these arseholes persist with McClaren then the only way I can see us getting out of this is going back to 4-4-2 Blob Jan Mbemba Taylor Had Sissoko Tiote Shelvey Winny\Townsend Mitro\Cisse Unc Ben Just no fight or inspiration from anywhere.

Cronky Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 It's looking grim now. Two out of ourselves, Norwich and the Mackems will drop, and our neighbours seem to be doing the best at the moment. It's not fair to blame McClaren, in that the slide began long before he arrived, and it can take more than one season to turn that kind of momentum around. The biggest (but not the only) problem is the defence. If you're insecure at the back, that saps the confidence of the entire side. It feels like we have to begin again from scratch in that area.

I think you can blame McLaren for his part in this. We look bigger losers than ever and he has persisted with a terrible formation all season. We have no width, midfield is overran too frequently and 1 up front has been killing us. A reluctance to dump players like Sissoko, Colo and Wini away from home and not realising Mitro probably needs a partner up front Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His selections are what's killed us so badly recently, along with his inability to motivate some key players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 When have we tried 442 and a real 433 (not 451) for any length of time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 When have we tried 442 and a real 433 (not 451) for any length of time? 4-3-3 has been used sporadically, aye, but we had a pretty decent run of playing Gini left, Sissoko right and Perez & Mitro up top towards the back end of last year. Edit: not arguing it's not due another shot with Townsend, btw. That'd be a possible way for us to go for the foreseeable, with Gini now looking so rubbish.

Unbelievable Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Gini and Sissoko are not wingers, so playing them wide essentially makes it a midfield five imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Gini and Sissoko are not wingers, so playing them wide essentially makes it a midfield five imo Perez and Mitro definitely played as a 2. Doesn't matter how bastardised our wingers were, it was still not one up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Nailed on 10 for me, never been so sure of anything in my life, McClaren wont be sacked and that's enough reason to think that its a dead cert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Still a 9 stroking a 10. If the idiots do the right thing and bin McClown then there is a chance of getting organised and getting some points on the board. If they don't lift a finger and make a change , I'll shift to a 10 - nailed on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
