I reckon a couple of wins at home are needed just to turn the tide. Agreed. We need the wins. Desperate for some blue sky after all that grey!

NUFC91 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) Tomorrow is absolutely massive, if results go against us we could be 16th and 3 points ahead of West Ham... Genuine question, people keep mentioning we missed out on our number one transfers but do you think we are the only club who do? Spurs lost out on Eze and Gibbs White but I doubt people are posting in the Spurs thread are mentioning that for their drop off.

Ilovetoon8788 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) A lost at Brighton will be frankly unimaginable for his future here. A needs a win here. At bare minimum we must draw. Edited May 1 by Ilovetoon8788 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I'd even take a point tomorrow. Something to stop the rot, show the players can still put in a performance. If not I'm fearful we don't get a single point and are relying on one of spurs or west Ham failing to catch us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw v Brighton doesn't show the players can still put in a performance, they finished below us last season and we massively outspent them, 3 points is a minimum.

Yeah but I think they are currently top of the form table and we are likely bottom. So sometimes you have to take those things into consideration. Including also the fact they are one of our bogey teams, like Bournemouth. I'd honestly take a point and some evidence that we can go into the other games, like the West Ham home game, and get the results needed. Brighton are decent this year and currently in pole position to finish top 6. Where they finished last year is irrelevant.

Dokko Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Should get 2 more points out of those 4 games. If he can't, it has to be time at the bar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It banishes any thoughts of relegation though. I know it's unlikely but it's not impossible, so any points have to be welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar has to 7 points, 6 minimum, we are playing 2 teams below us. People need to switch from this mentality like we are like the Newcastle under Ashley, with the investment and seasons we have of late 44 points is simply not good enough. We have to go into next season ending with some good results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Thought he looked a lot more relaxed during his press conference today. Reckon getting some clarity on things with the ownership must have been a relief. Would be great if they can really nail things this summer, and he's able to turn things around going forward. Hopefully we start seeing some positive signs on the pitch the rest of the season now. Really seems there is a lot more unity and clarity on recruitment going forward from some of his comments and that is going to be crucial. Been my biggest gripe up until now, so good to see.

Wolves, Burnley and Chelsea (bottom), are below us. But yeah Brighton are top so its wishful thinking that we should turn up and beat them with the way we're playing. But lets hope we manage it somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Agreed that Eddie seemed pretty relaxed in the press conference. Appreciate that he speaks to the determination and will to win whilst caveating that it's about action not words. What I didn't like was the response regarding Hall. Eddie stated (paraphrasing) he was taken out because we've been too leaky at the back – implicating Hall and Ramsdale with Pope coming in too – alongside the tactical reason for having Burn in vs Arsenal. Now, I'm certain Hall is professional but I can only imagine feeling unfairly done when you've been arguably our best player this season. For someone touted on their man management it feels pretty poor. Hope Hall is back in for Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't muster 2pts from that lot, then he doesn't deserve to be here next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 The form table doesn't make for comfortable reading for our remaining games tbh, though as long as three finish below us in the league, I don't really care. As long as this season ends with us still in the Premier league, I'm not massively bothered. There will be a big enough job for Eddie over the summer, if he's allowed to make an attempt at fixing the obvious issues and has sufficient, early backing, instead of leaving it all to the last minute again. I'd prefer to see us at least try and make something from the last four games, you'd think we could get a win from West Ham at home if the players can be arsed, same with Fulham away. Brighton and Forest on current form could easily be very difficult games for team without confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Both teams without a win in May but aye of course Brighton are the team in form and we're dog dirt. Howe could cure cancer and some folk would still criticise him for not stopping 9/11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting watch. An often neglected facet of the Keegan era because we always played great football was how that changed. 95/96 with wingers feeding the centre forward and a pronounced anchor man in midfield was almost negative on paper compared to the five-a-side passing of a few seasons prior, with the wingbacks, three centrebacks era in between.

Interpolic Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 12 minutes ago, duo said: Was in reference to people saying Eddie would quit. Anah. "Eddie clearly refusing to walk away from a £6mil a year contract." What about the last 4.5 years says he's not hanging around because he's desperate to put the work in turn it around, and believes he can? He's not here for a payday, he's not stunk the place out with underachievement before this season, he's never a cunt in the press. He's not Steve Bruce basically so why you talking about him like he is? This is the sort of ugly, disrespectful patter people are on about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
