Think Cardiff and Huddersfield are down.

 

Between us, Southampton, Brighton IMO.

 

The games after the break are absolutely vital. We have to get at least 4 points from Brighton/Southampton double header or we're in massive, massive trouble.

 

Southampton have got a couple of decent goalscorers in Austin and Ings. Brighton, Huddersfield and Cardiff are the only clubs with poor enough squads to keep me optimistic.

 

Southampton's home form is absolutely minging like. I honestly wouldn't rule them out. Especially if Ings or Austin pick up an injury.

 

I'm not ruling them out, but if Hughes gets sacked, they've got goalscorers so there's every chance they could get some wins.

We do have a VERY good run of fixtures after Man Utd like, as you'd expect but the pressure will be firmly on to pick up points.

 

The Watford and Bournemouth back to back home games are critical but even they have better players and certainly way better attacks than us. Deeney/gray and Wilson/king are far better than what we have and will be a right handful

 

I think when Bournemouth and Watford have better strikers than you and it looks a difficult fixture at home then it's time to leave the pl like as you don't belong there

[ToonArmy1892]

Then we will appoint Hughes for next season.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Then we will appoint Hughes for next season.

 

Please don’t

[Robster]

Please don’t

I can see that definitely happening

We'd need goals for that. Or ANY attacking intent.

As we have already seen against Cardiff and Forest in the cup, even against lower division sides and the worst team in the division, without a goal scorer, it is very difficult to win games. We could just as easily lose.

[Tubestationatmidnight]

Gray/deeney and king/ Wilson are 10x better than anything we have had up front for years

[Guest firetotheworks]

Saints will sack hughes and get someone decent unfortunately

 

Hopefully they'll do as they did with Pellegrini and wait far too long to do it.

Well if Mike is back, then 10/10. who gives a fuck.

[geordiedean]

10 Apathy at 100% and ive really lost all interest and im past caring

 

On the plus side if we do stay up Joselu gets a free trip to Lanzarote

[TRon]

Brighton are one of the three teams I think we might be better than man for man, but they are now six points ahead of us. Plus in Murray they have a proven Premier goal scorer. Not a great result tonight.

They must be absolutely gash to be worse than us man for man.  There are pub teams that our 'forwards' wouldn't get a game for.

[Raconteur]

I know it's hard to imagine, but three wins on the bounce puts us right back amongst it. And, looking at our fixture list, if we can't manage that then we deserve to go down. It's going to happen.

 

I'm confident some will be bringing their 11s back several notches come the start of winter.

[Optimistic Nut]

We were always going to be down there after these fixtures but I was expecting 5-7 points by the time the next match comes around.

[morla84]

Currently 1 point worse off than 2015/16 and 7 points worse off than 2008/09

 

Presumably much worse fixtures though?

 

2008/09

Man Utd (a) 1 point

Bolton (h) 3 points

Arsenal (a) 0 points

Hull City (h) 0 points

West Ham (a) 0 points

Blackburn (h) 0 points

Everton (a) 1 points

 

2015/16

So'ton (h) 1 point

Swansea (a) 0 points

Man Utd (a) 1 point

Arsenal (h) 0 points

West Ham (a) 0 points

Watford (h) 0 points

Chelsea (h) 1 point

 

2018/19 (if yee cannit remember then p*ss off)

Failing to see how five points in 2008/09 minus two points in 18/19 equals seven points?

morla can't do maths.

Apologies, my mistake. I was incorrectly going by date rather than gameweek.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Hoping we go down and stay down until the fat cunt fucks off.

[taxfree]

We're garbage. No bottle what so ever. No idea how we're gonna survive.

[David Edgar]

On the basis of the first few games, I'm now at a 9.  There is very little quality, very little fight and very little tactical resourcefulness.

 

All in all, who cares anymore?

[LRD]

[xLiaaamx]

We can't even defend anymore. In fact we look worse the more we try to.

[Revolution]

I think we'll panic spend in January like we did in 2016 but it'll probably be too late, we're getting cut adrift. 9.

[Shearergol]

We’re ok. Keep those 11 fit we’ll get points. Squad is awful after the 11 though.
