StewieGriffin Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Part of me suspects they'll just about stay up, as they'll spend £200m on 5 or 6 mid-table calibre players (Tarkowski etc) in January, and the other part thinks Howe will waste that £200m on utter shit like he did at Bournemouth once they'd established themselves and they'll be the richest team in the EFL in 6 months time. I suspect they'll just about stay up unfortunately, because it'd be beyond hilarious if they went down and the owners **** off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The owners said they wanted to win the Championship so Howe is doing the perfect job for them to do that next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The home game against Norwich on Tuesday really is a must win. Lose that and I don’t see where enough wins will come from? History shows that most teams after 13/14 games and on 6/7 points don’t avoid the drop. They’re in serious, serious trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 It’s shocking that they haven’t even won one game yet, they really are bad. At least with Norwich there are some redeeming features, Newcastle just look awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moustache of Teale Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I’m putting £50 on them to beat Norwich on Tuesday. That should ensure Norwich get at least a point. I’d be overjoyed if they go down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 After their next two games, they then play Leicester, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, and Everton over the rest of December. Even if they were to beat both Norwich and Burnley - which I think is unlikely, they will be doing well to get four points - they'd still only be putting themselves within touching distance of safety, before likely losing ground again before the new year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're cut adrift by January it will be difficult to attract those players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Still likely to get relegated. They’d need a massive shift, the squad just isn’t good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, they're either going to need to sign players with release clauses, or sign players who care more about the money than the fact they're likely to be playing in the second tier next season. What an unfortunate position to be in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 6 points in the mud is a lot in terms of historically knowing that it generally means they’re dead. But then if they get some good players in during January it’s only 2 wins. I’d love it, love it if they went down but they are a bit of a special case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they are going to get the right kind of players for a relegation scrap. That defence is hideous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
