And I doubt we’ll maintain that poor form yeah, 1 PPG would prob be enough tbh, lucky for us. But the drop in form is concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 End of day i rather win Conference than finish 4th. People remember that in 10 years time Champions League damaged Newcastle more than enhanced them this season.

VillaJay Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) Utd are currently worrying about West Ham and Newcastle winning today I. Their battle for 6th. We need to get 3 more wins and I believe that will be enough for 4th. Edited April 6 by VillaJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 1 minute ago, VillaJay said: The catastrophe fpr some posters is incredible, I guess it's how they deal with things not going there way. We're currently in 4th place. Spurs still have to play Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Liverpool. I'd rather have the points on the board. Some of the comments I've seen on social media I don't know how people coped back in the Mcliesh/Lambert days. It's annoying to not win especially when 2 nil up but there is disappointed / frustrated and there there is stuff like "that's the most shameful half of football I've seen " . For me we missed Cash , both going forward and in defence the goals all started from that side .I'd need to see them again to see where the blame goes for those in the middle ,the first one is a pure fluke mind you he missed the ball hit is standing leg and went in. Arsenal is going to be tough without Dougie but think people also need to take into account there are under pressure now.They can't afford to lose and they will be big favs.I said before it's that wierd result period of season ,bournmouth where one of form teams and got done by Luton today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worried about United beating Liverpool Also have to rely on 5th being good enough for CL We've 1 win in 5 soon to be 6. If we fluff lines against Bournemouth then it can all collapse rapidly We are already in a collapse it's just we have had such a good 2023 we may fall over the line with CL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Unfortunate but it's not the end of the world. Spurs aren't just going to fly through this run in so no need to go overboard. They hold the advantage for now but 4th definitely isn't over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJay Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 6 minutes ago, useless said: Fourth is still possible, Spurs are favorites now, but they are just as capable of having a result like ours today as we are. I'd expect them to beat Forest tomorrow, but if Newcastle can do us a favor next weekend by beating them, then they will be no more than three points ahead of us going into a difficult run of fixtures where they play Man City, Arsenal, Chelsa Liverpool, so we've still got a chance, we really could do with them losing a game where they're not expected to, or even better us getting an unexpected win, to put us back into pole position Fulham thrashed Spurs 3-0 last week, they will definitely lose a few more, wouldn't be surprised to see them lose 4/5 more. We need 3 more wins from 6 or 1.5ppg and that should be enough for 4th. I also think Arsenal are beatable next week and 4pts from this 3 game run would have us right back on track. Every game is winnable but tough now for the rest of the season and today was never a banker, disappointing not to win from 2 up but overall we're managing with a huge amount of injuries and suspensions.
