villa4europe Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 They need stability, if they yo-yoed it wouldn't be the worst thing ever for them, last time they were in the prem they spunked £100m on players who didn't perform and then didn't want to be there afterwards, Seri has gone out on another loan for example They keep parker, give it a go for the rest of this year, if they go down they go down but they keep him they have to keep Mitrovic then they come back up stronger... And with the stadium works completed I think when you say "bad job" it has to be put in to the context of what the job actually is, agree with he's doing OK nothing more All that said what they haven't done is invested in any decent young players who parker can stick with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like Fulham learned nothing from last time It was such a huge mistake. Why would you go into a season thinking Tim Ream and Dennis Odoi would be adequate centre backs, when you already have literal evidence that they aren't? The problem now is they've got a good enough squad to have finished 10th-12th or something if they'd been together all season, but a] they have a mountain to climb, and b] a lot of them are on loan so the squad will still be a patchwork mess if they go down again. They missed a huge opportunity last night, and Newcastle are probably going to scrape enough points to remain above them IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle are like us the season under McLeish, got enough points on the board early on and the manager is so negative he will scrape enough points to stop them entering a full scale relegation fight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does seem to do better with limited funds, unearths a few gems here and there, gets some good loan signings. Give him a bit of money and you end up with Sunderland. Newcastle's squad seems to be bloating in a similar way right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle’s run of games is awful from April onwards, ending with Sheffield United at home then away to Fulham on the last day.

Every match looks horrible when you are down the bottom of the league but in reality Spurs and Liverpool (their matches after Palace) can’t find a win at the moment and Fulham have drawn with both of those in the reverse fixture so there are opportunities for points there. They also have Leeds, Wolves, Burnley, Newcastle and Southhampton who are bottom half teams. Even their match against us is an opportunity for points given how inconsistent we can be. I think there are plenty of opportunities to take the points they need to survive and send Newcastle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson out is a big deal for them and Fulham look to have found a bit of form and have momentum. Still, I think they should stick with Bruce. He has an incredible record at getting teams promoted from the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
