Parky Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Still on 5. One lucky win can change the mood in an instant. It will be Burnley, Watford and one other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 1 hour ago, Karjala said: The numbers don't lie, this is our worst squad we've ever had, still using players we signed to get us out of the Championship. 1 win in 20 Worst defence in a PL calendar year in history 3pts away from home in 9 games home loss to Cambridge The 2 seasons Rafa was here we stayed up basically on our defensive record (conceding 47 and 48) - this season we've already shipped 43 in 20. Bruce's first season was pretty much saved by defenders scoring Bruce's second season was saved by Willock signing and going on a record scoring run (we were 17th 3pts above the drop before he started) We somehow need another Willock to get us 8 goals between now and the end of the season. Wood? Lingard? You're right that 1 win in 20 is horrific but we've pretty much drawn half of our games (9 draws in 20). Fair few of those draws could have been wins. Fine margins. A lot of teams win games they don't deserve and we need to learn to win ugly. Whether it's holding onto leads, taking our chances, or through a bit of luck and better ref decisions (ha!) Norwich have shown how 1 week can turn around the season. I would argue we don't need lots of signings. Quality over quantity. It's a confidence game (just look at Norwich) and 2 signings in key positions can give the whole team a lift. We don't need to be a good team, we just need to be the best of 4 shit teams. It's easier to deal with the nerves saying we're down but it's going to go right to the wire I think. The bookies have us evens and I think that's fair odds at the moment.

Doctor Zaius Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Honestly, this is one of the worst group of bottom four teams I've ever seen. End of January and Norwich, comfortably one of the shittest PL teams ever for the majority of the season are out of the relegation zone on -32 GD. Beggars belief. We're fucking shit but if one of Watford, Burnley or Norwich stays up ahead of us Howe wants immediately peddled and the owners have had an absolute nightmare.

STM Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Would have taken 4 points from Watford and Leeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Just now, STM said: Would have taken 4 points from Watford and Leeds. Aye, the other way around would have been better, like. Three unbeaten though. Probably should have had at least 7 points in those rather than 5. Baby steps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 We've proven ourselves capable of winning a football match so the needle just twitched for me. Long way to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Still think the dropped points against Norwich, Watford and even Man United will cost us in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Its not a 10 anymore, but we must bring in quality in almost every position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny1403 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Looking at it objectively, I think everyone would have snapped up 5 points from Man U (H), Watford (H) and Leeds (A) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Massive week in the transfer window now, that win was huge but we need to set ourselves up properly now for the rest of the season with some new signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Slight chance that Everton and Brentford will be dragged into relegation worries too. Hopefully we can get new signings in and a few more wins on the trot, then go clear in the next few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I would be happy with 4 points from Everton and Villa. At least we have a chance now. Felt defeated after Watford game last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Burnley v Watford next game week. A draw would be spot on. We can afford a Burnley win. We can’t afford a Watford one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Just checked the table, Everton, Leeds and Brentford are still in this as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 10. Unless we get some points. But 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Back down to an 8 after being on a 9. Today needs to be season-defining and we need at least 3 top class players before the next match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Makes last week's result seem not so bad now. I'd have took 4 pts from 6 before these last two games if offered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I’m going to call it now — Brentford will be relegated. everton are also deep in the shit, they will struggle to keep their head above water if we beat them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
