SteV Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Just took a look at our results and reasonably what you would expect from the reverse fixtures and I see us getting another 24 points. It's going to be close Surely it won’t be close if we’re anywhere near 46 points!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be close Surely it won’t be close if we’re anywhere near 46 points!? Margin of error, all it takes is for us not to turn up against Norwich Watford and Southampton and we are in trouble We've overachieved against the 2 Manchester Clubs and Spurs 1st half of the season and there is only Norwich Villa and Sheff Utd of the games we've played away where I'm confident of getting 3 points from Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 We're not going to get relegated....this season. We've fluked our way to 22 pts and that should be enough. I'm sure we can fluke our way to another 15 or so. Next season will be a car crash though, but Ashley can always sack Bruce and bring in some other patsy to keep the St James regulars happy. Every season in the Premier is a bonus as far as he's concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 We are too easily beaten away but tbf we only lost 1 game from 8 at home and have joint 2nd best defence at home. 7 points clear is a solid position but we obviously could go on a bad run.

Ikon Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 We might be in a good position point wise, but I it feels like its written in stone that we will sink like a stone. Desperate Bruce will have no idea how to fix the rot either. Grit and will is his biggest hope, combined with luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 We are still in a relegation fight you see one or two teams doing better then most thought then they drop like a stone the second half of the season once we play teams twice, people are just believing because we have more points then Rafa at this point we are doing well we'd be looking at Europe with Rafa not relegation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Our home form is good though. Palace and Everton next 2 at home, 3-4 points from there would keep us ticking over. Fair enough, if we start fucking up at home, we could get into trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I'd say we're going to need a proper dreadful run though. Losing a couple games where we look shit but then picking up points the next few then repeat won't get us relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 22pts means we're only around 15 away from survival, so 3 wins and 6 draws. Something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every season in the Premier is a bonus as far as he's concerned. I have watched three of your games - against us, Spurs, and City. SB maybe tactically limited but he has been able to coax a defensive performance when needed. You also have goal scoring threats in midfield and defense. You should be safe by the end of February, if not earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you hoping for? 15th spot and 4th round of the FA cup? Deluded Geordies with their high expectations... 15th and reaching the 4th Round of the FA Cup? Bruce is doing a great job and the lads are playing some super stuff, but talk of top 15 and a cup run is silly stuff and pie in the sky. Let’s just survive staying up another season and hope Rochdale won’t be taking the FA Cup seriously this season. Hopefully a few of their top players will pick up a few injuries before they play the Toon. As long as the lads don’t get humiliated I’ll be happy, anything else would be dream land. That’s the beauty of the FA Cup though, anything can happen and we are due an upset. Survival is the priority though, I’d hate to not have this all to look forward to again this time next year or the year after and every year...

Consortium of one Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I can't see us getting relegated this year unless something catastrophic happens. We'll muddle through and beat the drop. I seem to remember assurances that money would be available for January. Obviously the reduced crowds are having a financial effect because the money is not going to be there. I'm not even sure if Cabbage Head knows how we play and would be able to bring players in let alone indoctrinate them into "playing off their front foot."

Newintoon Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I seem to remember assurances that money would be available for January. Yeh I wouldn’t be so sure with Charnley saying last week “never say never” and Bruce with “January is a very difficult window” Hardly fills me with confidence and they just gave away 10,000 tickets what more do people want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
