This side is so limited and it's clear we are miles behind the rest. I think January might be too late. We're going down again this season.

[AsprillasShinPad]

Still 11.

[Ketsbaia]

We just have nothing.

 

Our next 10 fixtures are magnificent but we need 5 wins from them.

As shit as the circumstances have been, we're only a point behind where I thought we'd be at this point tbh. I'm still on 3 (I think that's where I was )

[Away Toon]

I started the season optimistically at a 7, moved to an 8 after seeing the way we were playing and after that I'm at a 10. Along with Cardiff and Huddersfield we have far the worst team and squad in the league and there is no sign any longer than our manager is any better than the ones the clubs at the bottom we are fighting with have.

We're the equivalent of Alan Barnes in hobnail boots taking on Usain Bolt every week. Just can't see us surviving this season.

Fuck me, Mr Brightside, a 7 is optimistic?!  You must be at 99999 now!

[geordiedean]

Getting cut adrift at the bottom quarter of the season nearly gone and 2 points. Need to win 1 from 3 to even get 32 points

 

3rd relegation under the fat cunt is a certainty imo

[George Bailey]

Staying on a 7

More likely than not but there is still some hope.

[TRon]

Feel much better after that, we passed it around a lot better today, and in the end it was Man U's sheer quality that won them the game. Muto showed something today, and Rondon still to come in. All is not lost.

[Wandy]

We need a minimum of 9 points return from the next 5 games. And thats just to give some hope that we aren't going to go down with a whimper.

[ToonArmy1892]

Had we won that 3, still 5.

[mrmojorisin75]

we need a minimum of 5 wins in the next 11 games, it's not impossible but will define the season

 

if we've only got 15 points or less by the time we start the second round of games it's going to take a miracle from rafa and/or some spending by the club to pay for 1-2 quality players in key positions and i think we all agree that won't happen

[Guest covmag]

im up to an 8  :'(

[Ankles Bennett]

The good news is when we go down we will have a proven championship goalscorer to in dwight gayle to help us to mount a promotion challenge.9

[tinoasprilla]

I've got hope back after yesterday. Benitez needs to play strongest team every week no tinkering. Lascelles and shelvey need to stay fit get Lejeune back sign Messi in January we will be sweet. Oh and Ashley to die of asphyxiation after stuffing too many sausage rolls down his fat neck at Christmas

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

3. As much as the grim inevitability of the second half was a sapping body blow, we looked good in that first half. We scored goals and I think we have enough to win some games and be ok.

[Shearergol]

I was concerned that we didn’t have a striker, but after yesterday I think we’ve found one. 5 for me.

[cp40]

from 4 up to 5,  but its all pointless anyway while Ashley owns the club, and wants nothing but survival to keep the tv money rolling in for himself.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Bring it on

[ExiledGeordie]

 

We'd have to have no major injuries and Rafa work his magic to stay up from here. I think we can judge the team properly over the next 6 games after these initial tough fixtures.

 

Muto was a positive yesterday but we just lack any firepower. Ashley is staring at a 3rd relegation and will HAVE to spend in Jan to avoid it (yawn been here before)

 

7/10 at present

[Heron]

Aye - I'm at 7/10 like. Have faith in Rafa to maybe pull something out the bag but I think this negativity will grow as the season progresses and inevitably we fail to spend in January.

[joeyt]

Fulham have Cardiff and Huddersfield in their next 3 games.

 

Our Brighton game is huge
