We don't usually do back to back wins (nobody expected Liverpool,Spurs) so on that basis a Watford win even though they played awful against Swansea last night

Swansea 1-0 halftime we're back in the bottom 3

CT'S hoping on a free hat,& scarf this weekend for beating Watford or even a free brolly to get the McClaren look.

I thought it was canny

I was going to post something but I think I'll "Colback tomorrow when you 2 have finished Jacking Off"

We played some good football on Saturday & we got off to an excellent start being 2-0 up after 10 minutes. Yet even with a 2-0 lead we looked fragile we could have went in at halftime 4 or 5 up there were plenty of chances. But we lack that killer instinct being unable to finish them off & Yes I get the point of Mitro being a young 'un but maybe's now is the time to splash the cash & get a proven goalscorer in. We MUST follow this result up now with a win against Watford get some points on the board &get away from this relegation fight. I think Shelvey will be one of the main components of the team adding the supply link to the forwards.

Much needed 3 points I expected it to be more comfortable after going 2-0 up early on at least we managed to hold on its now a case of getting a few back to back wins

Why ? for speaking the truth

He should have said fucking nothing if that's all he could come up with we don't have the time to bed them in. No its not their fault we're in this position but it is their job to try & help get us out of it otherwise why buy them.

Some of Steve McClaren’s quotes from Friday’s press conference: “We’ve got to start turning the corner and following up one good result with another one". “Both players (Saivet and Shelvey) are in the squad and both have a chance (of making their debuts).” “They have trained a couple of days and we knew their quality. It’s about them bedding in and getting used to the team – the board have done a terrific job to bring in the two players" It's not about them bedding in we don't have that luxury it's about hitting the ground running & getting stuck in, this fucking bloke.

At the end of the day we NEED 3 points from this they'll WANT 3 points

I can see this being a difficult game for us with West Ham pushing for a Champions League spot & ourselves desperate for 3 points with both teams wanting a win it'll probably be a 1-1 draw

I know what your all saying but we didn't have to be in this situation lessons should have been learned after we were so close to relegation last season. Ashley said the buck stops at his door & we should all hold him accountable more so if we get relegated

And that's why the club's in the state it's in profit, profit, profit, Keegan said he hasn't a clue how to run a football club he'd have been better off buying Austin a proven goalscorer. That way we would potentially have been safe in the league & the potenial extra £millions itll be worth by now, we may even have had a bit of a run in the cups instead of being dumped out early doors again.

Without sounding cheeky we're 19th mate

We all know we need a proven premiership striker we've been saying it since before the season started. We had a chance with Austin allegedly, but in the end it all came down to money with Ashley unwilling to pay the £15 mil asking price. We've just paid something like £17.5 mil on 2 players over the last couple of days we could probably have managed without them. If we'd bought Austin in the summer instead of haggling over the price we wouldn't be in the predicament we're in now.

"But we're playing decent football - that's were the optimism is for me" We might be playing great football but we're now on a run of 5 games were we haven't won a game an odd point here & there simply won't be enough. You can have all the optimism you like but the reality is we're the 2nd worst team in the Premiership we might be playing better football but we're not picking up vital points

I honestly admire the optimism lads

I can't help thinking that Perez could be sacrificed for these 2 new signings . With both Spurs & Man Utd interested I don't think Ashley will be able to resist knowing he only paid £1.5 mil for him. We're due a sneaky trick from Ashley I think this might be it I hope I'm wrong

How much more would they be prepared to pay out this window they may think they can gamble with what they've got now

Yeah he'll probably realise whether he buys them is a different matter

The thing is it's hard to see were those 7 wins would come from given how erratic we're playing.

We are currently 5 points worse off than the relegation season P21 Pts 23 position 11th 2008/09 P21 Pts 18 position 19th 2015/16 We must get back to winning ways & 3 pointers picking up an odd point here & there simply isn't good enough we are in the stage of the season were you look around and hope that teams around you are having worse results than ourselves.

So its something like £12 mil for Shelvey & £5.5 mil for Saivet so what price would the club want for Perez ? Just playing devil advocate
