ender4 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 If we win the next game, the highest we can be is 13th (assuming everyone else between us and 13th loses). If we lose the next game, the lowest we can be is 23rd. Could do with 2-3 wins in a row to start looking like challengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle should get around 6-9 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to now start winning games consistently if we can do that I think we will finish in top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958Villan Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Depends on the strengthening to the squad, which is ridiculously thin at present, that is done in January, or before then with unattached players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or neither of the above! It's far too early to be targeting one particular team. I also think we need to accept that we may not be challenging this season and concentrate on arresting the slide instead. It's going to take longer than a few moths to fumigate the club and rebuild after the catastrophy that ensued last year. Next season, however....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm obsessed with catching whoever is most likely to finish top... until we are top. Currently, imo Newcastle are most likely to finish top, therefore first job is to catch them. Not next season. Need to be within a few points of the leaders by Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can great - happy to be wrong. He has to be given time to fail. One thing he has shown is he can get players to perform for him and they don't get any more expensive than the Chelsea team. He has more than enough experience and quality to get us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Stadium and infrastructure suggest we are in the wrong place and that raises the expectation in itself,not to mention our recent purchasing power.....however as obvious as it is, we need to remind ourselves that it is the players who are the only ones on match day that can effect the change and get us back.....The Vill The fans also need to remind themselves, this is a new team and not the one with all the trials and tribulations of last season. We have to gel and grow in to this league, so we must suppress our frustrations of the last 6 years and understand they are not the same problems as we may now experience....these ones are liable to be temporary, as opposed to last years as inherent. We need to be the 12th man again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
