True, hopefully the revival began with Palace. I just think we're always one game away from putting in another Norwich or Sunderland performance.

Demitri_C Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Pits over now for sure in my opinion, we still have Chelsea, arsenal, City, Liverpool and United. We need to beat a couple of those to have any hope along with the rest of our remaining fixtures 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjaacckk91 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Some of the passing was a bit all over the place, bunn went crazy a couple of times but saved well other than that can't fault the players. The officials had an absolutely awful game all round though, how both sides had 11 men throughout and we didn't get one penalty is nothing short of mind boggling.

abdulaziz1 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 We still got a chance. Im afraid of the pressure away from home. We need to rest a lot of players before the derby. Or is the game not this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think results elsewhere mean very little at this stage. We can start worrying about other results when we're anywhere near the points total we need to stay up. We're closer to staying up than we were a week ago because we have 4 more points. It's as simple as that for me. At this stage I don't really care what other teams are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Two points lost tonight. I thought we were better than Leicester. Beat Swansea which is more than doable and that is 7 from 9. Still hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd add 2 points to the gap tbh. Yeh we are 9 points from newcastle but its norwich 2 points above we are chasing atm imo. Newcastle have enough quality and are playing well enough to suggest they will soon be past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't any fight until the second half the players were aimless , it wasn't until we stuck the 2 big lads up front and started being a bit direct we got any where. The manager has to take some responsibility now!!!!!!! why hasn't Kozak started more game ? Why he thinks he can play thru teams with a crock of shit squad still is unbelievable . You have to play to any crumb of day light you have / we have 2 big lads that given some service can cause teams problems. We have to be more direct and show more fight .

The manager did take responsibility. We were struggling to pass through an organised Leicester team and changed our style to account for that, and it worked. We got a point and could have won it. I fail to see how that's beng spun as a negative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a definitive number of points required for survival, even if there are approximate figures. As such others results are completely relevant sadly, we are now further away from sides above us and from a position of safer with one less game to play. Even if you don't think we are down yet it's now less likely we will stop up than it was at 3pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Well Sunderland lost and Newcastle scraped 3 points whilst Bournemouth won well but Norwich lost badly.....Swansea play tomorrow so whilst it was a little disappointing that Newcastle won against West Ham at least we pulled closer to Sunderland both points and Goal difference wise as we did Norwich. As long as we keep catching up with 2 or 3 of those above us at some point we will catch them. Whether we have enough games is a different matter of course. A good point though and at least there is some fight in the team at last! A couple of signings now and who knows... confidence is still rocky but did look a little better today. All in all about as good as could be realistically hoped for when playing the League leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't think we are down yet it's now less likely we will stop up than it was at 3pm. Other results count over the whole season. What I'm trying to say is we shouldn't be focusing on "oh, now it's 11 points to safety" then "Now it's only 9, we're closer!" There will be weeks where the teams above us don't win. They'll probably go a string of games without winning. There will be games where they unexpectedly win. What really matters is how many points we get. And I don't think Newcastle winning, for example, means that we're any closer/further away from being relegated than we were yesterday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 These four points are more than just four points they will also give us a psychological boost going into future games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
