Stottie Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 With all these signings, Ekitite and Targett just in as accepted, I'm at pretty much zero now. Seventeen games to go, and we need 23 points for 38. W6-D5-L6 would do it. I can't see the others doing that. Last eight fixtures played, NUFC 9 points, Norwich 6, Burnley 5, Watford 1. And we're the one with half a new team. With relatively easy fixtures coming up, the only issue is the new lads gelling quickly to make the most.

Wouldn't want to be in training this week - will be absolutely manic I would imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I've been at a 6 for quite a while. But get these signings done, and maybe a loan (e.g. Lingard) and then, to be greedy, a centre back and that changes things a lot. You wouldn't put it past any team at the bottom to go on a surprise run and get out of it. Happens every year. But there's a much bigger chance of it being us if we do all that. Beat Everton on the 8th too and I'll be down to a 3. Maybe less. Edited January 31, 2022 by Abacus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Only thing I'm slightly nervous about is how long it may take for all of these players to gel, may take a little bit of time, but this window has increased our odds no end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGRM Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Down to 6 now, but if we get another few in will go down to 4 or 5. Still going to be a tough task staying up, unless the new signings hit the ground running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It doesn't bother me if we go down because this new squad will steamroller the Championship. We'll still have a full house every home game plus the parachute payments so the drop in finances should not be too severe. Then it's onwards and upwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I don’t post in this thread anymore because my defence of voting for 1 seemed to aggravate people. Suffice to say I’m still at 1, and only because it’s silly (at this point) to say there’s no mathematical chance of going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm excited as shit but I won't shift my 5/10 stance until I start seeing results on the pitch. Happy to stay that way until we start (hopefully) pulling away or (God forbid) falling behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I was at a 6.5 pre-Leeds. Post-Leeds I was down to a 5. Now I'm down to a 4. Relegation is obviousky still a massive threat, but the last two weeks have given us every chance of staying in the division. Over to you Eddie...

alexf Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Probably need 5 wins to secure safety. It's gonna be really tough I feel. I think we need a massive result against Everton and build some momentum. Lose and I think it dampens the transfer enthusiasm and the realism of the task at hand sinks in again.

Superior Acuña Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Doubt we'll need 5 wins, given that two wins in more than half a season has us one point off 17th. Unless the draws are turning into defeats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Was at 8.5 I think before Leeds. After that result and with transfer window over I think 6.5. If we’d got another goal scorer/creative player I think I’d be on 4.5 Edited January 31, 2022 by Dr Venkman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If that's us done, think I'm back up to around 6. It was vital that we got more attacking talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
