AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 An 80% chance of going down is like having odds of 1/4. For comparison, the bookies have us at 7/2, which is about a 22% chance. Easy money. Thank fuck for some common sense. We’ve been having this debate since this thread was started Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Day Gadgie Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I always think goal difference is quite a good way of reflecting where a team "should" be during the middle of the season. Looking at the table, i think we're in a fairly true position. We might lack quality and fire power up front, but we have a good manager who knows how to get results to counteract that. A few decent signings in the right positions and we'll be fine i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers though. Difference is we're not a team on the decline getting worse as the season goes on. Rafa has us bouncing back most of the time, yeah we had that bad run but otherwise he's able to strategise his way through a season. No new players it'll be a close thing, good quality new players it'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Swansea is massive, win that then we have a free hit v Man City away. Then it's Burnley at home hopefully with some reinforcements. Beat Swansea and things will feel very positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 We're still one of the three most likely imo, without significant player reinforcements. We absolutely need that investment, without it we are in massive danger, it's stupid to gamble, but if we play like we have in the last two away games we will get enough points to stay up even with the squad the way it is. I still think it's difficult to pick the three that will drop but Swansea and WBA are looking increasingly likely to take up two of the three spots, both have already played their new manager bounce Jokers too, their investment in the Jan window will be a good sign as to how they rate their own chances.
