Roids Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 5 (if not 6 tops) more wins from the remaining 16 games sees us safe, doesn't sound too daunting on paper... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hog Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 While I was fairly confident we'd be 'okay', the more clubs below us that appear to be sorting their shit out, getting new managers in, throwing money at the transfer window, etc, the more I'm starting to worry. I mean THE only thing that will save us will be Rafa - and it'll be some feat if we don't get any decent players in before the end of January. I'm no longer confident in the slightest, it's feeling like I'm watching a slow motion car crash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It does when you look at the fixtures. 4 points from the next 3 games would be cute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 5 (if not 6 tops) more wins from the remaining 16 games sees us safe, doesn't sound too daunting on paper... Exactly. Tbh you could probably say 4 wins and 2 - 3 draws might be enough. Rafa will do it, no doubt in my mind, though I suspect the wins might come from games we don't expect.

54 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Win today, and arguably we'd only need 4 more wins in 15 games to take us to 37 points, add a couple of draws and you'd think we'd be okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If we win today, we're 3 wins and 3 draws away from survival Anything else and it's nervy, because we're right back in it again and have Man City next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 *Watford. I do that more often than I care to mention. I can't stop. Sinking like a stone at the moment. Supposedly their squad got unsettled when the manager made it clear he wanted to go to Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 3 wins at home all season. Can't now even beat the worst team in the league at home. It's dire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Other scores have turned out ok, actually. Defeats for Huddersfield (to West Ham who are probably fine) and Brighton (WBA still 4pts behind us). But it's overshadowed by our result. I don't have faith in our current squad and don't have faith that we'll add enough. Or anything. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackandWhite Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So glad I stuck with 10. They’re fucking cowards when playing at home. Bottling it consistently. It will be our undoing. We are down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Poor tactics coupled with low quality players, chuck in the takeover bollocks and the fact our fans are awful at home = an 8 for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I’m at an 8. There just isn’t enough quality in this squad and we are so obviously lacking quality to stick chances away. We have the look of a side who could likely get relegated. The lack of a takeover and Ashley being Ashley is almost the nail in the coffin for me.

Kaizero Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Today put Brighton and Huddersfield behind us alongside Stoke, West Brom and Swansea on 538 seasonal prediction table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Still on a 5 at the moment. It sounds weird, because it's always this way really, but us not going down will be down to other teams and how they handle their position. We really need one or two teams to really solidify their place at the bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I appear to have voted 7, which seems a bit OTT. But I think after today, assuming we don't get 2-3 decent players in (which we clearly won't). Then I think I am at a 7-8. This squad is so bad, the players don't seem to fit the system and Rafa's tactics are cautious as fuck, meaning we need to take the few chances that come our way. Ultimately, the lack of a goalscorer will be our downfall, should we go down. No goals in this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Win that today and things are looking way more comfortable in 11th. The benefits would have been immeasurable, confidence and everything. The approach to the last 25mins today was a fucking joke, it was like we were playing to stay involved in the scrap. Not impressed at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 6. More than likely. Because I don't think we'll sign anyone worth mentioning and the team is extremely poor and playing well within themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
