Got some lucky results early in the season, but their form is worse than ours and they've only managed 24 goals. The only 11v11 where we've comfortably dominated the whole match.

useless Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I had us down as favorites to do down before this weekend, and that was with me expecting Norwich, Bournemouth, and Watford to all lose, and Southampton to at least get a draw against West Ham, so things look even worse now. But to look on the bright side, we're only two points from safety with a game in hand, and whilst results went against us today, if they go for us next weekend we will only be two points from safety with two games in hand. At the end of the day we're just two points from safety with 33 points to play for, and it's not as if we've been rubbish all season, it's unusual for a team to be on twenty-five points and in the drop zone at this stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great results for us this weekend but I'm a glass half full merchant and always felt Watford and West Ham were on paper at least too good to go down and Bournemouth and Brighton more likely to drop. With 11 games to go our fate is still in our own hands in terms of surviving and I'd have taken that at the start of the season. Fair play Mark.....I think that glass of yours is 7/8ths full mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford keep their discipline and also kept having a go at 1-0 and had their just rewards. All season we've lost our heads when in decent positions v the top teams. To be fair we would have taken a point v Liverpool of the referee had invented a new rule with 90 seconds to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new manager would stop us leaking so many easy goals. 2. I don't think it's individual inconsistency, its the consistency as a collective that's has been lacking. NB I still don't want Smith sacked ..... Edited February 29, 2020 by Villan_of_oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 IMO we are the second worst side in the league. Behind newcastle. Obviously hope we stay up but think Jack will go anyway so my emotional investment is dwindling by the day. But obviously we stay up and we can demand more cash.

Don't understand this, they're on 32 points. They've played and managed games better than us so that they've either held on to a winning position or grafted a draw, something we aren't capable of. Currently the bottom two are rightly the two shittest team in the league. Each team has their fair share of luck as the season goes on.

hippo Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Really want Smith to turn it around - but if we go down and come back up with DS still in place as head coach ......would it be any different......really not sure... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elton Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I can’t believe the extent of the pessimism on here when we’re about to win our first major trophy for 24 years.. I still think Watford were in a false position. I’m confident we’ll finish above Norwich, Bournemouth and Brighton and Newcastle if we beat them. West Ham still have some tricky fixtures and we have a good chance to finish above them too. This isn’t 100% done no matter what the merchants of doom believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I don't think it helps us that we have to wait a week Monday before we play Leicester, by then everyone else will have played another game, if results go against us again then there will be massive pressure on us in that game to get a result. The flipside to that is that if everyone around us loses next weekend then it should give us an extra incentive going into Monday's game, think we're going to need at least couple of points from the next two now, our rivals have been getting results against top six teams and now we have to start doing the same if we're to have any chance. I'm sure that before the end of the season there will be days where our rivals lose games which they were expecting to win, lots of up and downs still to come yet.

Palace and Sheffield United will probably be on the beach aswell but both are very good away from home. Put it this way 7 points from Newcastle, Palace and Sheffield which looks pretty optimistic currently would still only get us to 32 points so on top of that we'd need to win another game and draw a couple. It's a tall order. Still hope though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
