Fantail Breeze Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 1 minute ago, RS said: The reality is that come the new year we could be adrift again. Some massive performances needed against top opposition. We’ve just gone 14 games without a win and weren’t cut adrift. Five games until the new year, 4+ points from those and we’ll still be within touching distance ahead of a favourable run of fixtures and a transfer window. Everton, Man Utd and Leicester are absolutely nothing to fear and Brighton, Palace, Southampton and Brentford proving Liverpool and Man City aren’t impossible either. Said it numerous times but we’ll be absolutely fine. We’ll finish closer to 11th than 18th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I'm not expecting much from Man Utd personally. Catching them just at the wrong time. New manager bounce and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 We should be targeting Leicester and Everton away as opportunities. While Everton will most likely have a new manager, we'll continue to improve week on week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 6 point gap could easily breakdown over time if they've been found out as their recent form might suggest. I wanted to drag them in and you could be right ,think the are the next place above my list tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With half the season to go that wouldn't suggest relegation form under our new manager at all. Not that I see that happening. I know that I'm being pessimistic but I think it will also depend how other teams in the relegation battle perform. I'm also a bit worried about our squad depth. We'll need ASM, Wilson & Dubravka to remain fit until the end of the season or maybe until we strengthen in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 we are 6 points off 12 places - its not as bad as some make out. Get through December and then we will push on - think we will finish 13-14th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Results have been great so far this weekend. Norwich, Burnley, Leeds, Watford & Palace all losing & Southampton dropping points. Hopefully Everton and Villa lose there games too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 If we're somehow out of the bottom 3 or between 1 and 6 points from safety on the 1st January we're not going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it within a couple of wins and i'll be happy enough. A shock win at Leicester or Everton would change things dramatically. Dropping to an 8 after today. Would be great to see Everton lose again tomorrow and be 5pts off them with 15 played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Voted 10. Don't really fancy us to pick up any points in the rest of December which would leave us on 10 points after 20 games played. Watford have some decent fixtures where they can pick up some points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 We've all experienced relegations when there's been a severe lack of interest and application from the squad and generally a vile atmosphere around the club. Polar opposite at the moment and everything is in place to kick on to survival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 What would be people’s preferred trio to get relegated? Mine would be Burnley & Norwich because they offer nothing. Everton as the third because it’d be absolutely hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
