And some people seem to think it’s a fluke we’re down there and we’ll be fine :lol: Does my tits in.

 

Nobody is saying that? That's just the way you interpret it for some weird reason. I think you'll find most people saying they "think" or "feel" we can stay up, but recognising that it will be difficult, that it requires investment in the squad in January and so on, but that there's been good signs since Howe came in that an escape is possible.

Fernandez and Lewis 100% have to start against Burnley. Both were for the most part outstanding tonight.

Clark should never play for us again. Even before his 2 mistakes he looked like he was bricking it. He's not up to it and should be shipped out in January.

Same with Shelvey, I think over the next few games Howe will end up with the only 11 players worthy of a shirt.

It does pain me to say it, but he has looked better.  

 

Hope he can keep it up and not revert to type cos he can obviously play but attitude has been the issue.

Waiting in car due to traffic.  We battled and deserved to win.  Lewis was superb today.  Stick with that back 4 and build.

 

Think we will go down  unless our luck changes.  Clark, never use again   9 mins in man, insane.

Would have been frustrated with a point before the game but in the circumstances it was vital we just didn't give Norwich 3 points tonight. 

 

Thought our crowd were pathetic at the end booing and telling Dubravka to hurry up. Such a lack of knowledge

How long does it take for a manager to imprint his style on a team - my guess would be 6 games minimum - EH I am sure is getting there - he will have seen who works and who doesn't  in these 3 games (as someone said Clark should be nowhere near our defence or the Coast of the North East) - my view is yes it is more than likely we get relegated but so what - as a club we are free of the previous cancer and will rebuild strong foundations - there is also the very slight possibility of fluking survival it has been done before - whatever happens it is a blip in the long term plan - nothing to see here and really no reason to despair. Onwards and upwards whether from the Championship or the foot of the Premier league we will rise.

One final thought; on night's like these a massive fuck you to Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce. 

 

We shouldn't be relying on Ciaran Clark and Isaac Hayden in 2021. That fat cunt knew it and did nothing. The fact Bruce hung on for his payoff makes him just as contemptible. 

 

Glad they're fucking gone, and if you need a positive to clutch onto just be sure that we are moving further and further away from their darkness every day.

Given how the fiest 10 minutes transpired, what an absolute warrior effort by those 10 men, Lewis has to keep that LB position, Joelinton was everywhere, in everyone's faces and came away with the ball more than he aught to, Fede proving the supporters right, no way Clark should see the first team again after that. The back 4 that finished the game earned their place.

 

If we're going down then it's not with a whimper and so long as we give it this effort to the end of the season we can't ask for much more. Relegation won't be the end of the world, many of us would have taken it to get rid of Ashley, so even post Ashley its still a fair trade off.

We are literally breaking records for how far through a season with so few points and without wins. Nobody has stayed up from the position we're in.

 

No one has ever closed a six point gap to stay up?

Watching the game live, down to 10 men after 10 mins, I thought we battled hard and tbh (in insolation) a point is a good result. Unfortunately just don't think it is enough. We have to win 2 from next 4 to have any chance and I can't see that.

Not to mention that the teams of the past didn’t have our sheer spending power. Who knows if we can get quality to help in January, but Derby couldn’t exactly spend a huge amount to bail themselves out when they were stinking up the bottom of the table. Unique set of circumstances that could potentially enable us to be the first team to survive from such a position.

Absolutely fucking gutted.

 

Some better individual performances (Jo, Lewis, Shelvey), but this squad is absolutely fucking shit. Nothing in central midfield to give me any sort of confidence that it’ll be enough to stay up, compounded, of course, by consistent defensive errors. ASM needed to step up big time and hasn’t doesn’t so.
