We should have beaten Palace TBH, the amount of good attacks we wasted. We really need more than just a striker to solve that, but even if Slimani does OK we should end up with an extra two or three wins.

 

I don't know about that to be honest. They had a far great number of dangerous attacks than we did.

We definitely could've won it but it would've taken a good 30-40 minutes of squeaky bum, backs to the wall defending. I'm guessing the possession stats are well in their favour?

 

Burnley we definitely should've won.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

I can’t see us winning another game, but drawing plenty. I’m of the opinion that we will go down because of our poor home form and inability to build on leads.

 

We have an actual striker now though! One that scores goals! We might score some goals now.

 

And he needs to hit the ground running and I’m not sure he will do that. He may help our general all-round play though which would be a start, a huge start.

[Varadi]

Slimani is very important, as is keeping Lascelles fit - our 25 points from 26 games becomes 24 from 20 for the games he played in, such an important player for us.

I wish Kenedy had hammered that shot straight through Hennesey to put us 2-0 up, like

[Dave]

So another club find a massive win to pull themselves clear and gain huge momentum.

 

We're in deep, deep trouble.

[Figures 1-0 Football]

Bet that’s already fucked up a few of those table predictor things

 

Hopefully Watford will continue their new manager bounce with a win at west Ham next weekend.

[toon25]

Watford were never going down like.

[Figures 1-0 Football]

 

Feel like i've probably been a bit overly optimistic

 

Watford are gonna go on a terrible run here onwards though

Well that's that fucked

Agreed. You can't rely on away form to keep you up. And we can't keep a lead.

 

 

We need to win another 4 games to be safe. That I absolutely cannot see. 3? Perhaps and some draws might be enough.

 

 

In any case we'll need to start doing things we haven't done all season to stay up.

You had Watford only getting 3 more points the rest of the season before tonight 

[DJ_NUFC]

I've been saying we're down for some time now. Just sayin'.

[The College Dropout]

We've got 1 point all season from decent sides.

 

[Dave]

Watford were never going down like.

 

They were three points above the relegation zone and had taken five points from their last ten games before tonight.

[TRon]

So another club find a massive win to pull themselves clear and gain huge momentum.

 

We're in deep, deep trouble.

 

The three teams which struggle to win these games are the ones which have the least firepower in the Premier are probably the three which came up. That's us Brighton and Huddersfield. West Brom are down there as well though so we can still escape. I'm pinning my hopes on Slimani and Kenedy making a difference in the games we have left. Watford were in deep shit as well before everything went their way decisions wise tonight. We could do with that sort of luck somewhere along the line this season.

[The College Dropout]

Aye good point.

 

Not only fire-power but quality.

 

The last relegation side, it had major problems with the personnel. But if Rafa takes over in early February he keeps us up. It had some quality.

 

This lot.... work hard but lack quality.

[Ketsbaia]

No-one actually thought Watford would go, right? Thought we were just joking.

[Dave]

Aye everyone would be totally confident if we were on that kind of run.

[Yorkie]

Watford have plenty more quality than the likes of us. Never felt like they were gonna help us out. See West Ham, Palace, probably Southampton.

[Bimpy474]

Watford have a proper center forward who holds it up, smashes the opposition around and scores goals. We on the other hand have a ballet skipping ponce, a midget who doesn't even trust himself to run properly, and a  bug eyed pile of shit Spaniard, who if he fell over would miss the floor.

 

Slimani or bust for us.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Watford were never going down like.

Exactly. It changes nothing. It looks daft to say so considering their current position, but I'd say the same for Southampton as well.

I remember many nuetrals saying similar about us last time.

 

I'll put my neck on the line and say we'll be safe. Won't be fun or pretty but we do create chances and hopefully we have at least a bog standrad forward now to take the most basic chances that we've been missing.

[Dave]

[madras]

I like the idea of meeting a specialist after getting an injury. "Multi million pound footbaler gets injured so goes to see GP" doesn't have the same ring to it.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Palace are another team that I can't see going down. It's us, West Brom, Huddersfield, Swansea, Stoke imo. Probably between us and Swansea. Stoke could go either way.
