Away Toon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I was at 8 before we got crap and Rafa decided to continue picking shit players who are out of form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Still only a 4 but we have to arrest this slide quickly. Tuesday is a good opportunity to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Assuming Huddersfield lose tomorrow there are basically 12 teams in a relegation battle, Burnley and Watford already look like they've done enough to stay clear even if their form turns to shite. Not a clue who's going down, but we're part of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 We won't go down man, you guys are far too emotional after a defeat. Too many bad teams in this league for it to happen, we have lost 4 in a row and we remain in 14th. We'll be fine. There really isn't this year. There's no obvious relegation fodder aside from possibly Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 That would be a completely fair point if there were 2 or 3 that still stood out, but there aren't and we're definitely part of the trash at the bottom. I don't think we'll go down with Rafa, but stating the obvious, everything hinges on this takeover and when/if it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Given, on paper, we've had a relatively easy start I think we'll be in real trouble if the form/results stay this way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Given, on paper, we've had a relatively easy start I think we'll be in real trouble if the form/results stay this way. Don't understand this easy start theory. We are 13 games in. There's only another 6 to go before we start all over, within those 6 we've got everton, west brom and Leicester.

The College Dropout Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 We've got a lot of our rivals at home to go. Everton, Brighton, Swansea, (Burnley), Leicester, Southampton, Huddersfield, West Brom. You would like to think there are at least 14 points there. You would like to think we could pick up another 12 points from the remaining 17 odd games. Which would get us 40 points and probably not in prolonged danger of going down. When you start thinking "well we can get to 38 points if results go our way", then we're in massive danger. At the moment, i'm not there yet. We do need to stop the rot asap though.

mrmojorisin75 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 If you cant score, you are going down. Top striker in Jan, or that's it. This is the truth of it. Rafa is good but he can't mask a lack of goals over an entire season. Striker and number ten badly needed. We'll also need Merino to stay fit now as well.

Guest Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Aye, four forwards with 5 goals between them is a worry, particularly when 3 of them have featured fairly regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Aye, four forwards with 5 goals between them is a worry, particularly when 3 of them have featured fairly regularly. He wanted Abraham’s plus another forward and we ended up with a Joselu, no one should be surprised by this predicament given what he’s had to work with his. Isn’t his net spend with us zero since taking over, he’s good but can’t work miracles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 He doesn't even have the benefit of a Wijnaldum getting into double figures, Shelvey & Ritchie have been massive let downs in that regard. I'd have expected at least a couple of goals each by now. If we don't sign a striker and someone either capable of goals from the number 10 or wide positions then we'll be scrapping.
