HaydnNUFC Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 44 minutes ago, Heron said: There's a good 5/6 teams that will absolutely be down there for most of the season like and we have the most in our favour to overcome relegation. Leeds battered 7-0, showing the sheer disparity between the top 6/7 and the bottom 5/6. Same goes for us with Leicester and as will be seen in many a game across the season, none less so than our upcoming 2 games (potentially). Yet, all of the teams will be looking over their shoulder nervously at Newcastle come January. Obviously, we have cash. Howe-ever we have positivity. That will be our strongest weapon and a hope and belief that we can do it. For all I hear "Oh it's too late" "Oh it's not been done before", it just shows tonight that we're not alone. Can you imagine Norwich, Burnley et al? Their fans won't be writing us off. Not in the slightest. For that reason alone, we absolutely shouldn't be. Yet, with positivity, a bit of cash and everyone pulling together, I think safety can be a certainty, if we build a siege mentality, stick together and play our cards right. Felt it in the away end on Sunday. Non stop support for the team all game, very few early leavers at 3 and 4-0. Those at the games are behind Howe and know that for the games he has up to the January window he's trying to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Need to maintain that level of support home and away for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Last thing we need is a Watford win tonight followed by a thumping against Liverpool. Confidence will be in the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anybody fighting the drop would want them, either. Edit: Should have read all of the post before responding. Dubravka would definitely be a legitimate target for those fighting relegation. Don't think Rafa would take ASM though. Edited December 15, 2021 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Dubravka, ASM and Wilson would walk into most bottom half teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Relegation rival's games getting cancelled in the next few weeks is good news for us I reckon. Although it doesn't affect points ultimately, I think it's psychologically beneficial for us that they don't get to extend the gap while we're losing all these December games, especially with transfer window coming up.

STM Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 This thread shouldn't be updated after a game against Liverpool at Anfield. I agree there's lots of reasons to be worries about relegation but it's not won or lost at Anfield. In fact, I'd say we have given a decent account of ourselves. It was the the 8 games of Brucey that have cost us dearly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
