Looking nailed on now unless something big happens in this transfer window.

[ilikenewcastle]

It's still a 5 for me, and that's assuming we don't significantly strengthen next month. It really is in the balance. Lascelles return is huge, our semi-competent defending of recent games has to carry on or we're f****d.

[loki679]

If Lascelles can stay fit then we don't look too bad defensively.  We absolutely have to get some quality in attack in the window to score and create, though.

 

7 without decent reinforcements, 5 with for me.  Hopefully we can get them in nice and early too.

I'm at a 4. Just think there's enough shit down there with us for us to pick up points. And we have Rafa.

[Minhosa]

All about the ownership issue for me. We get taken over before the last few days of the window and I think the good mood and hope will carry everyone through. We don't then we're down. Almost certainly.

[Altamullan]

I’m a 6; more probable than not. Sep (4 games) and Nov (4 games) were our easiest months on paper. We got 7 points in Sep (averaging 1.8 points per game) and 1 in Nov (0.3 per game); that, along with the 4 points from 7 games in December (0.6 per game; though 4th hardest month) may have killed us.

 

That said, reckon we could/should pick-up 12 points from the 8 games in Jan and March. Feb, April & May (9 games) look the toughest months of the season and without improvements can’t see us getting that much joy.

Basically this.

[Decky]

If we dont make any significant signings in the next 4 weeks we may as well just rename the thread Promotionometre and lock it until August.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

I'm at an 8 as things stand.

[Heron]

5 for me. This next month will swing me either way

[Guest Howaythetoon]

My big worry even if we spend is that Rafa's way isn't exactly the kind of environment for a player to come in and hit the ground running and be an instant hit if you like. We need such a player. Kind of like what the mackems got with Defoe or us with Cisse.

[Shearergol]

Gayle in a better set up would get 10 + easily.

 

Playing for Barca maybe. He’s fucking tosh.

Poor signing?

Not for the championship, he was ideal for that.

 

 

[Pilko]

We need 5 wins from our remaining 17 games to reach 34 points, and with our favourable keep-it-tight GD it'll be 35. I think that'll be enough this year.

 

I'm a 4 at the moment. The next month is absolutely crucial. If we can get 2 wins before early Feb we'll be looking OK.

Genuine question. Would you take a draw every game for the rest of the season? I presume no, but 36pts and a GD of -11 might keep you up.

Interesting. Can you ask again when the transfer window is closed?

We do need to keep picking up points when we aren't winning, and let's face it, this side isn't going to win a load of games.

Will do. You’ll have played Swansea and Burnley at home by then too which might help .

[Decky]

Massive result today.

[Skeletor]

Undefeated in 2018. We are staying up.

 

Nah still think we're massively in trouble but at least we appear to be able to beat the same teams twice.

[Decky]

We've a couple of weeks now until our next league game. Could be huge in terms of getting a player or two in. But our form in the last 4 is 2 wins, a draw and a defeat which is promising.

[Ketsbaia]

Swansea at home next. Rest the players, get in one or two and a win there could be massive.

[astraguy]

6 wins needed  from 16
