The Fish 8989 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 For all we're playing shit away from home, we've still as many points as sunderland and Norwich, with a game in hand. Says to me they're slightly shitter and that could well be enough to keep us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpirlo68 0 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) We were defensively a lot better last night. The lads worked hard, they tried to defend as a team. McClaren tried to make us hard to beat and he was correct in doing so it's just a real shame it's taken us all season to realise how to actually play an away game. Especially when we got 0-0 at old Trafford at the start of the season  A lot of people say we are poor defensively but have some good attacking players but last the lack of quality was embarrassing. The movement when we had the ball was non existent, Janmaat is the only one in the team that tried to make a run and makes things happen. Mitrovic was poor kept giving the ball away and barely held the ball up either  We just have a ridiculously chucked together squad, it's not a team it's just a bunch of players.

Dr Gloom 19825 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Isn't our game in hand against Man city anyway? May as well write that one off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Isn't our game in hand against Man city anyway? May as well write that one off Swansea didn't write off their game at Arsenal. Â Haven't we also performed well against the "big" clubs? Mainly because our gutless mercenaries want to get the attention of those clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 About 4 games ago I was told don't worry about Swansea they've thrown the towel in. I've watched a couple of their games & they're far from finished. It's a shame our lot haven't the same attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 336 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Â Â It's much more about the people responsible for appointing him not wanting to admit they were wrong I. Case they get the bullet. The selfish, spineless and, most if all, incompetent cunts. Pretty much my feelings on it. Charnley would have broken his own arm patting himself on the back that he got "his man" without paying a penny in compo as well as staying in the league. Strutting about making finger guns at people. Now it's gone to shit he's a deer in the headlights. Gamble that we'll magically do a 180, when nothing this season points to us doing that, or does he go cap in hand to Big Mike and admit be shat the bed.

Renton 17781 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Neither managed to average over a point a game. Even raising his record to that level would see us relegated. Presumably only if sunderland and Norwich both raise their own though? And we have a game in hand. And arguably the easiest run in, especially at home? We play both these teams, and that will decide our fate imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26347 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 It's almost certain that one team will raise their game enough to get them out of it. Which is why a new manager bounce would help us out big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Sunderland's ppg is better than ours from the day allardyce was appointed and since the January window. They're better than us atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMarshy 2 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 we will draw to bournemouth in our next game, then lose to city, sunderland and the game after - at that point relegation is all but guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're better than us atm Or their 'form' to use a more common term is better. Which is at least as (if not more) relevant than ppg over the course of a season, when we're so close to them in the table.
