M_Afro Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think we will get to about 36 points. That probably won’t be enough to keep us up this season and we will end up ruing so many wasted opportunities just like the last two matches. Norwich bottom, then us and one of West Ham, Watford, Brighton or Bournemouth in 18th. We are just too nice. We play quite well and still get nothing from the match. I watched Burnley yesterday be absolutely awful and get all 3 points at Southampton because they dig in. I bet we play better at Southampton than Burnley did yesterday and still get beaten! So frustrating! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So frustrating! Mings should be back so that would make me a bit more confident but certainly feels like a game we'll be 0-0 and looking o.k for long periods and then Ings will ghost past Konsa or Hause who are waving at their partners in the away end with ten minutes left! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I just don’t see us getting 15 points now given our run in. I acknowledge smith has gotten better performances out of them but none of the basic errors have been addressed. In game management is so poor and naivety stems from the bench. Personally wondering what Terry is bringing at this point the defending from set pieces is awful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjackle Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Next week is huge. I know we are all down from that result but we are still out the zone so I have hope. It feels like it's going down to the last game to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Disaster if this FFP thing has an effect on the City players. Praying they'll turn up against West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hopeful a few weeks back we could stay up before the final game which we somehow did in the two Lambert seasons. Every defeat makes that less likely. I'd probably sign up now for a final day where we're a point ahead of West Ham and Watford so would likely stay up with a draw although would be nerve shredding afternoon.

markavfc40 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Southampton have lost their last 3 games and 4 of their last 5. They are also the worst home side in the league having only won 3 all season and lost 8. It won't be easy but we can certainly go their and get a win. If we do it not only obviously gives us a huge boost it drags Southampton well into the relegation mix. Can't help but be down after the kick in the bollocks of losing in the last minute but taking the positives we played pretty well today against a good side and created some really good openings. We are also still out of the relegation places 26 games in. Hopefully a win next week then go into the cup final the week after and have McGinn back for the run in. Still plenty to play for and reasons to keep the faith. Edited February 16, 2020 by markavfc40 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hopefully even hough we lost today we can build on this performance.... I wonder if Newcastle could get sucked into the mix now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several teams that could get sucked in but the teams at the bottom, us, West Ham, Watford, Bournemouth etc. just aren’t winning games. Newcastle are absolutely dreadful but they’re getting away with it because, and I hate to say it, we’re ever worse. Honestly, the standard of this league is horrific this season and we’ve managed to still f*** it all up. Our summer business gets worse as the weeks pass by.

Will be interesting run in for the loser although they'll probably shake hands on a 0-0 beforehand and not even bother to play the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just not good enough and even though I’ve been very positive of survival all season, it is now becoming clear we do not have enough quality. Cannot see us getting 4 wins at all. It’s a big reset in the Summer minus our better players but maybe when we get promoted again we may be more prepared as circumstances last time meant too much of a rebuild with not enough funds due to FFP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasterpocket68 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think were in trouble ! 26 games 25 points, its still in our own hands but : we have 11 games left so even if we manage 1 point a game from here 37 is very unlikely to be enough we play mainly top half teams from here on in - exception being w ham - crystal palace and Newcastle who we have to take points from. Its not impossible but whilst we continue to tinker with players and systems very unlikely . We need a massive change of form and some luck but given what we have seen so far its seems very unlikely IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't disagree with you, before the season I had expectations we wouldn't struggle based on the amount of poor teams such as Newcastle, Burnley, Norwich, Watford etc but we've still managed to be just as bad.

foreveryoung Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 We just need to stay up this season even if it's by the skin of our teeth. We can then kick on and be a better team next season with Grealish or 100 million quid, I care not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I have a feeling it could be a real low total for the team finishing 17th place this season and the way it looks 36 points might be enough. It's between us and West Ham for the last place and I hope it doesn't come down to the last match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Farlz Posted February 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2020 Took the lead against: Spurs x2 Arsenal Liverpool United And we've come away with 1 point. It's such a kick in the bollocks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
