RS Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Looking nailed on now unless something big happens in this transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 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.

Hughesy Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 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 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Gayle in a better set up would get 10 + easily. Playing for Barca maybe. He’s fucking tosh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 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.

leffe186 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Swansea at home next. Rest the players, get in one or two and a win there could be massive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
