HaydnNUFC Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Last one before heading out. Posted in the match thread; To finish in the top 4 we have to win 2 out of 3 games of football. 2 of those games of football are night time home matches. The other 1, although we'd prefer not needing a result due to the pressure, is away at a Frank Lampard managed side who are currently losing at home to the worst away team in the league. That is also assuming another team wins all of their remaining games. Make SJP a fucking cauldron next 2 games.

andyc35i Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 We always knew we needed 7 points from 12 and got one of them today. Just gotta win our homes games now with more pressure than we would’ve liked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 2 minutes ago, The Prophet said: I called people bet wetters for their hysterical reactions, flawed logic and revelling in negativity as much as anything else. I'm debating leaving the forum at the end of the season to be honest. Some top folk post on here and it had a band of brothers feel to it during the Ashley years, but it's genuinely sucking the enjoyment out of supporting us these days. I’ve been questioning myself a bit about that too for the first time ever. I can’t stand the constant negativity. I’m positive but know we’ll lose at times and can take it on the chin but there’s some that can see a reason why we’d lose every game and worry about every team we play. It’s relentless and it sucks the life out any enjoyment and excitement. Have some belief, take the losses on the chin, believe we’ll be better next time. Everything is not bad forever.

I wasn't calling you out specifically at all, you have some good opinions worth sharing here, as do many others. I think a lot of us (me included) need to stop worrying, being wound up, or enraged by differing opinions to our own. After all, the beauty of this place is in the range of posters, and opinions expressed. Of course there are exceptions, but I don't feel many are revelling in negativity, they might just be more pessimistic than someone like yourself. But then we've had more than a decade of nothing but misery, so maybe it is a comfort blanket to some Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I’m down to a 7. I had us winning that comfortably. And we didn’t look good imo. Played with nerves. Forced a lot. Never fancied us against Brighton. In my mind I would’ve been happy with 1 point. Some injuries and fixture congestion/rotation will help us mind. Leicester is a must win obviously. Chelsea. If we had already qualified for the CL we would win comfortably. If we needed a win? No Idea how we would perform. Do fancy Liverpool to drop points somewhere. They’ve not been good as the WWWWWW suggest. 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Bit worried as the gap is closing but it's still well within our hands. What's playing on my mind a bit is how likeable this group is, it would be great if they can pull it off, they really deserve it after the performances all season. Bit of extra jeopardy for me, just be a shame if they're remembered as having "failed". Mad that 5th would be seen as a failure, would've snapped your hand off for it start of the season.

TheBrownBottle Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 9 for me still. I think we take four points minimum next three games. I do think Liverpool will have a slip in one of their games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we won today a draw would’ve been fine. Then win against Leicester. It’s still must not lose rather than a must win. Other results could go our way. But a Win will have us at match point.

Not getting the vibes from their players that they give a fuck about Chelsea never mind Newcastle. 3 games to go, 1 at a time lads. Enjoy the ride. Imagine the feeling if we make it. Eddie will be working his arse off now till Thursday to get us over the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I’ll say it’s the first time this season in the league I’ve watched with a bit of anxiety. It’s because we are so close and I now expect us to do it. So not making it would hurt a lot. More than the relegations imo. Perspective will help though.

duo Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) I also think psychologically it's huge that we did not lose two on the bounce. Edited May 13, 2023 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
