2 at this point, we'd have to go on a ludicrously bad run now

1- it's Newcastle after all.

 

Great turnaround, had massive doubts we'd do it this time as that 3rd spot is so open.

 

Hopefully we build on this instead of last summer and standing still. So much easier not to be in it at all and looking up, the fat man is likley to attract better offers for the club as well. So easy ffs, just fucking sort it out.

Insane, that we had 7 home points and goals from first 11 games. 4 wins on bounce. 12 points. 9 goals, 1 conceded. Tremendous run. Rafa really seems to get the team stronger in late Jan/Feb.

 

We look fit and strong.

For what its worth, I think we are completely done for.

 

The bounce of coming back up year made a big difference, we had good spirit and key players largely stayed fit and played to and above their potential.  Key players this season have had injuries and poor form and look nothing like they did last season.  Total lack of investment is showing and the players and manager know it.

 

Rafa, aside his professional and personal commitment to the club has taken this lot as far as he can.  He knows he is leaving, as do the players. He also knows no one is coming in during this window (IMO).  Combine all this and its really going to be a long and sad farewell to one of the true hopes we have had as a club to move forwards.

 

Its too little to late even if they do spend - they have proven to Rafa they have no ambition and for a manager who aims much higher, that is simply not enough.  He has had enough and sadly, his tactics and general outlook reflect this.

 

This 100%

This is just over a month ago.

Come end of feb we will be deeply entrenched in the bottom 3 along with Huddersfield and once in that situation we wont get out

 

Losing 8 out of 11 home games is something ive never encountered in 40 years of supporting NUFC and it will only get worse over the season I can honestly see us losing about 13 out of 19 at home which ultimately is what will send us down

 

We cant expect to get upto 25 points away from home to try and ensure survival

Love going back and looking at all the betwetting posts

Time to start thinking about which 3rd team we want to go down so we can possibly nick some of their better players in the summer

Huddersfield, Fulham and Cardiff are the worst sides in the league. Southampton have enough about them to better Cardiff from now until the end of the season.

 

Before long the relegation race will be all but over.

Aaron Mooy... but they would want top dollar.

Southampton losing tonight would be fun, if unlikely.

Southampton, could go for Bertrand as left wing-back.

Not sure where we'd accommodate him.

Lemina if we let Diame go at the end of his contract in the summer?

Go after the Burnley left back regardless of where they finished. He was their only good player last night.

Harsh. I thought Tarkowski was brilliant

Brighton must be getting nervous.

I said it last year. Southampton if manahed right have the ability to be a contender to get into the top 6-8. If they are manahed incorrectly then they will always be someone in the relegation fight who you wouldn’t really want to be fighting against. It would be in our own interest to want them down as everyone else down there will likely not do anything more than fight survival until their time is up. Southampton will always pose a danger or completion to us, no matter what our battle is.

Aye he looked decent had a good engine on him carried it well too.

 

Was a funny moment in the second half when him and May shouted at Heaton to play out short rather than hoof it for the 1000th time Tarkovski barked at them both to just get up the pitch and stop coming short

 

Seems like some of their players were not happy with just smashing the ball up all the time for Lascelles to just eat up.

 

They needed a Plan B from Dyche things like that make you think he would never make the step up to a Everton.

 

Will keep them up though

Well we certainly did well out of Villa (Clark, supposedly hopeless), West Brom (Rondon), and Swansea (Fernandez and Ki). Don't Manquillo and Yedlin have a relegation on their cv too? We should get loyalty points!

Current form table..

Brighton are in trouble if they don't turn it round.

Dunno, like. Feel like their identity has been ripped out of them by Liverpool. If they did’t have Ings, dunno who would get the goals. Would love Redmond and Bertrand. Michael Obafemi is an interesting prospect. Built like an absolute tank and only 18. Has a goal this season.

 

Cardiff’s Victor Cammerasa’s name is mentioned a lot during games. He’s on loan from Betis. 24, Midfielder. Does have three goals this season.

 

Brighton have a lot of good attacking players. Izquierdo is a speedster. Knockaert would be a useful on the periphery type player.

 

Big fan of Guðmundsson from Burnley. Whips a great ball in. Excellent technique and always puts a shift in

The way Cardiff are playing, we may have enough points already

I think 4 more points will be enough

Aye. Reckon it's all over. I'd be shocked if anyone other than these 3 went down.
