Not this season. 37 points generally keeps you up. We have the bottom club coming to VP - and I wouldn't rule out us getting something at Leicester. Next season worries me tbh.

Imagine thinking Newcastle would be above us at any point in the season in mid December. We really need something at Leicester just to get the morale going again otherwise it's going to be a very bleak end to the season. Yeah it's worrying. I can't see us changing position too much, Newcastle are in top four form, Palace are going well and others above us are picking up points. I think the players thought they were safe, Europe was off the cards so they are coasting along. It's going to be another pre-season of upheaval and transition.

If it’s ok to panic about the fact we’re 15th why can’t I point out how close we are to 6 places higher. I don’t know where we’ll finish tbh, I’m going to judge at the end of the season.

brummybloke Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 We are looking to be a progressive club, I was expecting 8th to 10th. While it is still possible, the lack of action in changing to either a formation that suits the players we have, or taking out the under performing ones is the most concern. Being poor but picking up points I'm sure 90% of us can live with. Having players being consistently poor for large spells and not getting points doesn't bode well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not at all because if we dont get another point this season we probably still have enough points to stay up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more staggering that people think we will go down, or that we are even in danger. We're safe now pretty much and plenty of winnable games coming up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment, but....... On the evidence, I have seen over the last 10 years.....I don't know who, I would feel safe giving it to. We have just spent c £100 million on 3 players, who so far, have offered us very little or way below, expectation......why should we feel any less safe with a Rookie manager? Martin O'Neill a well experienced manager, wasted Oodles of money on players, with minimal effect on the team....just a handful from c 30 odd players was any good. So forgive me for being sceptical of recruitment....I think the only hope we have, is the managers persona as an attraction.
