accadacca 0 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 this season ? Now that the dust has settled after all the crap that has gone on since May, and the noises are that no one who doesnt want to go in January won't be sold, can NUFC get through to 46 games wothout dropping another 15 points ? Virtually impregnable at home, and effective away, why can it not happen ? The squad is nowhere near as thin as people made out at the start, esp' as the likes of Ranger and Kadar have shown they can do a job at this level. Yes, injuries will occur, but they will for WBA, FOREST, CARDIFF as well. No doubt I will be accused of being overly optimistic as always by those who don't understand how weak most Championship squads really are both quality and quantity wise, but I think it is do able - very do able.

accadacca 0 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'll snap your hand off for 90 points right now, that should see us up automatically! Fair enough, but out of the remaining 25 games, who is going to get any points at SJP ? The biggest threat are WBA who are defensively a bit suspect. Cardiff ? No chance. Forest ? Possibly but unlikely. Away from home ? Which teams have the firepower to trouble the back 4 with Smith/Butt or both infront ? Few if any. Take if from me, the title is a ''given'' - the challenge is to have the boys from Wearside sweating over their 105 points target !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 This current NUFC team is nowhere near that 106 point Reading side in terms of ability. That team had only 2 defeats and 13 draws the whole season; whereas we've lost 3 games already. You're deluded at the best of times accaspacca, but now you're just mentally deranged if you think it's possible to beat that record, even after such a great first half of the season.

What noises might those be, you dullard? We will look a lot more mortal once our best players are sold. We'll still go up, but talking about 106 point targets is idiocy.

We'll still go up, but talking about 106 point targets is idiocy. The voices in his head. There has been no noises to say anything of the sort. Lets see what happens next month, a few sales to struggling Premiership clubs who "turn the heads of players" and we'll be totally different. As for Ranger proving he can do a job at this level, when did he do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Ranger proving he can do a job at this level, when did he do that? indeed, when you have a board / owner who appear to think a good fee for your best players is "good business" I wouldn't speak too soon, especially with a transfer window looming. The 106 points Reading got is irrelevant, who cares, they are back down again now, the only thing that matters is building this club again in the manner that it ought to be run.

JawD 31 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Exactly LM. The no of points you go up my is meaningless. You think the premiership will be impressed with that? I'd rather go up quietly and get about re-building. Then again, when do NUFC do anything quietly? But no, we wont break the tonne in points.

Tom 13845 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I doubt we will beat it and I can't say I'm overly concerned. It would be nice but at the end of the day promotion and development/investment should be our priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6302 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Can it? Yes, we could still end up with 121 points Will it? No chance - We will drop more than 14 points between now and the end of the season, without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) we need 92 points for automatic promotion - after that who cares? The important point is that this team will require SERIOUS strengthening if we do go up - on the other hand we should get a decent price for some of the players which is more than we could think of for a number of seasons Edited December 23, 2009 by Rob W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab 0 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 i think 85 points will be enough to take us up...........thats 10 wins and 5 draws which allows us to get beat another 8 times which i cant see happening....just for a bit off fun i did the bbc football predictor for rest of the season and had us promoted on 90 points...........i dont think we have any worries about promotion........players just need to keep it together...
