Palfy Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I think the likelihood of us getting relegated this season are the same as us winning the league, in other words no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Let’s do better than Watford at the weekend, get into 9th place and then start chasing Leicester. Feeling a whole lot more positive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Let's not get carried away. We have beaten a shite newcastle team, scraped a draw vs liverpool and won 2 winnable games - just about. We are closer to being a shit team than a good team - unfortunately. chicagoblue and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, look at the form of some of the clubs below us - For reference, we're LWWDW in the last 5 Southampton: WLDDL Huddersfield: LLLWL Brighton: LDLLL Bournemouth: DLDDL Stoke: LLWLL Newcastle: LDLLL WBA: DDDLA You can look at Watford too, 1 place above us who's last 5 games have been WLDLL... Now that we're not in managerial limbo, the squad has been stabilised. I'll have to give credit to Sam the same way Koeman deserved credit for initially going back to basics to stop the rot and build from there. The only way is up, and it always was once the board clarified the managerial issue. Hopefully these utterly boring yet effective performances are only for the short-term and Sam will start playing something exciting as well as successful. I'm order special cutlery for my massive slab of humble pie. Honestly wondering how long it will take some fans to start complaining "yeah, ok we're winning but it's shit to watch.

I'd say those who had us down as relegation fodder got carried away and spoke to soon. Now it feels like every time we pick up points it's because the other team were shit, we were lucky etc, just to suit the argument. This is one of those debates where the goal posts will keep moving. It's by no means perfect but, yeah, let's wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only thought we'd be 7th this season but pushing harder on the heels of 6th. I still think we can get 7th but the poor start has made it a lot harder and we most probably won't be close to 6th. Our squad is good enough for 7th. But not good enough to push top 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogs Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I don't think we're in a relegation scrap because I think the Prem is full of very poor teams this year. Swansea, Palace, West Ham, West Brom, Stoke, Newcastle... pick any three from those 6 for me, then there's always the risk the promoted teams Brighton and Huddersfield will get dragged in, Bournemouth aren't great and neither are Southampton despite stuffing us. It might not be pretty but I can't see our results deteriorating again to the point where we risk slipping below all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like last season you can have a crap season but finish in the top half. Once we had stability we were always going to pick up and some of the teams that unexpectedly started well were likely to fade.
