St1pe Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 We need a Burnley win tomorrow like. Psychologically for Fulham if they get to 4-6 points of us they’ll be thinking they just need to make up 3 points before the last day and it’s job done. Yea I’ve stopped worrying about keeping other teams involved in it and am entirely focused on Fulham losing. Watching that god awful Burnley side and hoping they beat Fulham tomorrow is going to be grim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 There's more or less half a season left, Fulham were always going to pick up points, but so will we. Unless their January signings have dramatically improved them, they'll struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Just noticed Man U have an away game in the Europa this week actually. Wonder if that gives us a chance of a point or 3 (I know). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 If you want to keep bacon you want a Burnley win, if you want rid of bacon and to see if the takeover is happening you want a Fulham win Wouldn’t be bothered with a Fulham win if it meant that the bigger picture would be rosier. Relegation has never really been a worry for me anyway. NUFC were a 2nd tier team when I started following them and a lot of my favourite memories of following Newcastle have been as a 2nd Division club. I said in another thread on Sunday that the 92/93 season will always be my favourite season ever. Hand on heart how many people can honestly say they've enjoyed us being a Premier League team under Mike Ashley? I mean I don't don't watch the matches on TV anymore I'm that bored of it!

I feel with the gap as it is they feel we are safe and Bruce won't be binned unless we are in serious danger remember mcClaren? If the takeover is alive they'd want to make a change asap unless they get it cheaper even if it's Jones overseeing things to keep us up. And it would be interesting to see the managers who come forward if bacon does get binned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Sleepwalking into oblivion I don’t even think we’re sleepwalking to it now, we’ve opened the door up for Fulham. We’re just really lucky that Allardyce wasn’t able to do his usual rescue job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Sleepwalking into oblivion This is how Henry Winter described it in his match report yesterday. Said we looked worryingly lightweight, and tbf, Chelsea were just barging straight through us in the first half. Bruce might have been delighted with the second half, but those who have any sort of standards weren't impressed at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Amazing how people think 7 points is even remotely secure. Leicester were 15 points clear of Man Utd on this day 12 months ago (after 25 games played), they finished below them. Due to playing Fulham on the final day, they only need to gain 4 points on us between now and then to overtake us in that match. If Fulham win tomorrow, we’re in massive s***. On that basis, I assume you think we have a good chance of catching Wolves given we are only 5 points behind them and still have to play them? We would if we weren't shit.

TRon Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Wolves are absolute dogshit this season by the way, that's definitely one of the games we should be looking to win. But I wouldn't be putting money on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 4th season back after promotion where we should have been progressing as a mid-table team at the bare minimum, we’re going to be watching 16th v 18th hoping for the team in 16th to pull away from us so that Fulham are kept at arm’s length. Pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Neville and Carragher kept casually dropping in that Fulham will likely need 40 points to survive. No idea where their confidence in us getting 14 points has come from Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 This has a similar feel to that Sunderland v Everton game when we went down last time. I know the situation isn’t as critical as then but just got that same feeling of inevitability if Fulham win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I was looking at the table earlier and I don't think Brighton are out of the woods either. If (and a big if) Fulham pick up a couple of wins, you could feasibly end up with a pack of three or four clubs fighting to avoid the last relegation spot.

Guest Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Brighton will beat us down there. Bruce can’t handle teams with that system regardless of how good they are. 3-4-3 is his biggest weakness to play against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd imagine Burnley and Wolves will do just about enough. Brighton are really struggling in front of goal and Palace look really poor minus Zaha.
