I don't think Burnley looked too bad on the ball, they just get to a certain point and only have one way of creating a chance. They don't play long ball or anything, they just don't have any plan other than crossing it.

Where are all the 10s at? Still at 10?

[Dan Gleebals]

Keep this form going (aside Liverpool game) and get another c.12 points between now and beginning of Jan and I would feel pretty comfortable.  Jan will be a back to reality.  Then only 4 of the current top 6 to play between Feb and May, another reasonable finish is possible.

 

Jan will be a clear indication of our intent with Rafa. He needs to be backed if there is any change of him staying IMO, even if we are looking in reasonably good shape.

 

[Shearergol]

I'm at a 7. Ashley has plenty of the season left to somehow fuck us over.

[Robster]

Our biggest issue will be morale towards the end of the season if it becomes clear that Rafa is not signing a new contract.

If the players think/know he's leaving, the performances drop and we'll be in deep trouble.

I actually thought they played decent football up to a point, but when you have Vokes and Wood as your strikers, then you are quite limited in the final third.

Might but then again might not - honestly think it's 50/50 currently. All may well depend on January as I'm certainly not confident this set of players are good enough to survive especially with the lack of creativity and goals. Suppose that makes me a five but I certainly wouldn't back this team to stay up either.

Same, think it'll be touch and go.

[Ikon]

Im pretty sure we will stay up. Not sure what the point of it is though..

[The Prophet]

We'll definetly be there or there abouts, the squad already looks bereft of quality. We'll stand still in January while our rivals invest.

[Twinport53]

7 points from the next 5 games please. Then this thread becomes the Europameter.

[Ketsbaia]

Wolves, Huddersfield and Fulham up next.

 

4pts from that and we're on 17 after 19 games (assuming a Liverpool loss). That's alright, like.

[ToonArmy1892]

Big result that even if a draw.

[Yorkie]

5 points off the team above us in 13th, bit depressing.

 

But most importantly, we're currently top of this season's 7-strong relegation mini-league. We've played 4, won 1, drawn 3, and we've got the best goal difference. Still eight games to go against that pack, more coming at home than away.

 

Things are looking alright at the minute.

[samptime29]

I would take 5 points from next 3 games. Important Huddersfield or Fulham don't beat us. Would be delighted if we get 7 like would be massive.

 

4 points ahead of relegation zone with better GD. Considering our lack of spending it's a decent enough position to be in.

[r0cafella]

Rafa is performing miracles man.

 

Let's hope we are bought out by someone who isn't on suicide watch after every bad result like a lot on here are.

[Guest]

4 points from these two games and we’ll be ok going into January.

Oh.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Still 3.

Other then the West Ham game, i've seen enough over the last 6 games to time we are going to be alright.

This side cant win home games and that is what keeps you up in a relegation struggle. We have now played 9 at home losing 7 of them which means effectively to stay up we will need to win 4 away and 5 out of remaining 9 at home

 

Not going to happen unfortunately with this utter shower of shit

 

Unless serious quality is brought in January ( and we all know it wont be) then its goodbye premier league for us

I completely disagree with all of this, feels like you're being negative for the sake of being negative. We could possibly go down, but I don't see it being a near certainty like you appear too.

Tell me where 8 or 9 more wins are coming from then bearing in mind we have lost at home to Brighton,Leicester,West Ham and Wolves who the fuck are we going to beat to hit the so called magic 40 pts mark
