You’re burying your head in the sand if you think we’re not in deep shit, Roma. Just my opinion of course! Lol, we're in the relegation battle I thought we'd be in. How else did you expect a relegation battle to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Burnley and Watford are examples of teams that have the capability of bullying opposition players as a different way of playing, which is why some get surprising results sometimes. We aren't really able to do that, hence the need for an N'Zonzi type midfielder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Last min equaliser please. Everyone around us drawing this weekend is fine. Take that elusive win away from Burnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Teams are going to pick up these results. I think having a proper striker for the first time this season will help us start doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do I agree. Haven't today though, Leicester have just been shite. We're down. Said for months there's a lack of other bad sides to drop instead of us. OK, 6 points v Watford and Bournemouth and I'll think we have a chance. I think we'll get 1 at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The only thing that still gives me hope is that I think we have been pretty terrible for most of the season, and we aren't completely doomed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Our season could be over this time next week. The fact we’re desperately monitoring other teams results at this stage of the season is a sure sign we’re in the shit. Deep down, we all know we’re not good enough and we’re praying that there are 3 other sides worse than us. We may actually finish bottom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem to me that newly promoted teams lack the toughness in a relegation fight - that seasoned strugglers have. Look how often we survived in the last few years in the prem despite churning out some shite performance s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our home games from now till the nd of the season are: Watford Spurs Sheffield United Chelsea Wolves Man U Palace Arsenal We need to win min 3 of them, as long as all the others aren't defeats that should mean about 12 points from the home games so we'd need to pick up 6 points on the road to hit 40 points. I think it's doable. We need 18 points, it's going to be tough but if Samatta (sp?) works out and we get another forward in that improves our front 3 then we've got every chance. Then a *normal* summer of investment and we should progress nicely, by normal I mean probably a similar spend but on 3 or 4 players rather than 15.

StefanAVFC Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Unbelievable. Teams beating us (Chelsea/Leicester) and losing to our rivals. Hate this league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Good result for Burnley. People need to chill a little, they are far far far from out of this battle. Could be 2 points again come midweek. We just need to focus on our results. Hopefully yesterday is a turning point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
