Dave Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 6. It's looking more likely than not at the moment because it's hard to see where the next win is coming from. However I think we'll spend in January no matter what, I think we're actually getting a bit better going forward and Lascelles and Dummett coming back will help to sure up the defence. Also I don't think Benitez will panic which will help in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 It's not a foregone conclusion either way at this point. I certainly wouldn't be putting too much hope on signing our way out of trouble, it's not easy getting quality signings in January, and it didn't work last time round. Looking at the other teams at the bottom like Swansea, they have strikers like Bony and Tammy Abrahams, so that puts into perspective the quality of our strike force. Our best asset is our manager by a mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'm an 8 based on the fact that the takeover won't happen. I think as it stands we obviously aren't the worst team but when the takeover doesn't happen, Rafa leaves, confidence is sapped and injuries pile up I think it will crumble. A lot rides on the takeover, not for money for January as I don't think there will be time for that now, but in terms of keeping our manager and instilling some confidence in players. I actually cant think of a worse team than us, Palace - No, West Ham - No, Swansea - Maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 We just need to fuck everything else off and go back to 4231 and being solid and rigid. As dull as it is, it obvious now that we'll ship goals left right and centre if we open up even a tad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Bournemouth’s next four are a Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City. Huddersfield have lost 5 of 6 by a combined score of 16-4. Their win came against Brighton. Brighton haven’t won in their last five, although they have managed a couple draws. They have Spurs, Burnley, Watford, Chelsea. West Brom haven’t won since AUGUST. They have Liverpool, Man Utd, Stoke, Everton, Arsenal. Stoke have a very favorable run of fixtures coming up. They will either be effectively safe or a genuine relegation candidate by the end of it. Their GD is concerning. Swansea have City, Everton, Palace, Liverpool, Watford, Spurs and hadn’t won in 8 before beating West Brom the other day. And then there’s West Ham and Palace. Point being there are a lot of teams struggling. A couple results and we could be looking quite comfortable again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Agreed - all you need is one or two wins and you shoot up the table. We've got some tough matches coming up, but we've also got some great opportunities to get points against Everton, West Ham, Brighton and Stoke. I'm a 5 at the moment.

Mistle17 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Rafa will stick to his principles, that will see us through- if only just. We're cack, but Atsu coming back as well as Lascelles will help. West Brom are finished with Pardew imo, Swansea probably too. That means there's one more of: us, Stoke, Brighton, Palace, Huddersfield, West Ham, Bournemouth, and even Southampton and Everton. It's nowhere near a forgone conclusion. Win tonight and all results were to go our way we'll be 1pt off 10th place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Another home defeat incoming thats now lost 8 out of the last 9 games. or so its fucking pathetic. this team is just about the same team that lost 10 championship games last season is it any wonder we are heading back there. no quality at all anywhere the squad is way out of its depth in this league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Probably entering the worse form we've ever had in the Premier League but January has a lot of promise. The FA Cup breaks are vital for us in terms of getting players in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
