alreadyexists Posted June 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2020 56 minutes ago, useless said: Archer, Wright, Odutayo, Philogene-Bidace are the players who've been playing as wingers for our U23s this season, Vassilev can play on the wing as well. Can Louie Barry or is he more of a striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I think Barry is more of a striker than a winger, albeit from the very brief highlights I've seen of him it seems he's the kind of striker that likes to drift wide and cut inside, so could probably play as a wide forward I imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Nice to see Watford held at home, pity they didn't drop all 3 points though. Hoping that Arsenal, Wolves and Palace, do themselves and us, a favour this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Sadly think we'll be down before the final rounds of the season. Think we'll continue to be mediocre and we really need the other crap teams to not keep picking up points I'd be very surprised if we end up on more than 35 or so points, and that might be pushing it tbh.

villalad21 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Today was a big blow. Draw won't cut it tomorrow. Need to keep up with Brighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Can't see us getting more points than Watford or West Ham between now and the end of season. We could get more than Bournemouth, but 18th is probably the best we can hope for. We certainly aren't catching Brighton now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go down, it's because we have failed abjectly at getting those kinds of wins ourselves. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still be surprised if we were down before the West Ham game. If we're on 34 points that would mean likes of West Ham, Watford and Bournemouth all to be on 38 points. If we can't even manage to get to 34 points given the re-set then that would be a pretty horrendous run from the minute we scored last minute v Watford. Can't really say how DS would have a good case to remain in his job given we'd go down with a whimper. I'm expecting us to take things to the last day at least.

TRO Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I would guess that Arteta being questioned after their game today will counter with something like " We were playing against a team fighting for their lives"......Which is fair comment.....Rodgers probably saying something similar. pity we can't do that.....just hoping now they prove me wrong against Chelsea.

John Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 We certainly could have done without those two stoppage time goals at Watford and Brighton. For me, if we can get another 12 points from our remaining 9 games, the five clubs that are currently above us, will have all had outstanding finishes to the season, if we don't end up above two of them. It's not going to be easy to get the points that we need and if we don't get them then the odds will be against us staying up, but we've got 9 games to get them from, so let's not right off our chances of staying up just yet.

Xela Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 We're 6 points behind Brighton. I'm not even sure we'll get 6 points between now and the end of the season unfortunately 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could well end up on 20 something That would like mean we'd not have won a game since mid January. Indeed considering how awful we were in the weeks before we'd have won something like 2 games since November. It wouldn't be far off the form we had from November 2015 until end of that season. Would anyone on here really want DS to continue getting relegated in that manner? I could live going down on the final day as that would at least mean we've shown some fight and won some games in the run in.

bretonvilla Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Well on today's evidence, we won't be even laying a glove on either Wolves or Palace. I cant see no more than five more points from our remaining matches....... We're done sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting take on it I'll spin it the other way, based on today's evidence West ham and Bournemouth are absolutely **** terrible and I can't see them getting 5 more points from their remaining matches... 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know each game on the fixture list actually has to be played, you can’t just go through the list and say “right we’re down”. Have a look at every relegation run-in ever - it won’t follow the form book. There will be surprises. Previously solid teams will crash and burn, while lost causes will suddenly find form. We’re still in with a decent chance of staying up, and, crucially, it’s still in our hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I am going to be negatively positive. We r almost certainly going down. We have not been good enough this season and I see nothing changing. I do though feel that the worm has turned. After years of decline due to awful management, we are now making much better decisions. I back us to win the Championship next season and then to go on and re-establish ourselves as a PL force. Sadly this must be without Dean who despite being a top man is not capable of effectively managing the biggest and best team in the Midlands.
