We just need to be the fourth worst team. We're not cut adrift, it's doable. As Alex said, today was irrelevant. In fact I thought we played okay, so gave me hope. We could be adrift if Burnley and Watford win some of their many games in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our "games in hand" have been against Leicester, Liverpool, and Man City. They'll have tricky fixtures too. Also I note we so far haven't lost against a bottom 10 team. Going forward, these are the teams we need to beat. Dry your eyes, wipe your atse, and start believing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to take a hell of a run to get us out of it. We’re almost half way through the season and we have a solitary win to our name.

Burnley is the only league match this season where we’ve kept a clean sheet. Defence is the priority. If we learn to defend then we can get enough wins against the shit around us to stay up.

Gemmill 34196 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Why anyone is looking at Norwich (who we did fine against with 10 men for 80 minutes) and Burnley (who we beat) and saying "yeah but if they win their games in hand..." is beyond me. They're where they are cos they're not the sort of team to win their games in hand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34196 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Don't sleep on Leeds and Everton either. Those two are in free fall and Rafa thinks the answer for Everton might be Chief Inspector Longstaff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcforever 75 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 The next 15 games could easily be 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. That give you 30 points with 5 games to play. That’s not an unrealistic target. Look at where you are with such a terrible start. You’re just 3 points (and a massive score line) away from survival. I still think you’ll stay up. Burnley and Brentford will drop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16503 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 If I was a Leeds fan i would be shitting my pants. Their best two players out injured and they're in free fall. Bielsa has walked before when he thinks he can't get the team out of it. I cant see them spending much in Jan either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Brentford will go down by 1 point. Norwich and Burnley are gone. They’re both terrible. you aren’t a terrible side, I just think your defence is so weak. Shelvey isn’t as bad as some make out. I even read some people today blaming ASM????? Saying because he’s so attacking, he leaves the defence exposed. Laughable ffs 2 things there, you were playing one of the best attacking sides in the world. 2nd point, attacking players should be allowed to attack, the defence need to defend. He’s a key player in your survival. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamTaylor5 632 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I love ASM but what is frustrating is that he doesn't get his head up. He misses the opportunity to draw a foul or misses the pass/shot. He is still one of our best but it is sometimes so annoying that he doesn't seem to think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16503 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I was glad he didn't start yesterday. Almiron does what ASM doesn't do in tracking back. But man he is shite going forward. Yesterday ASM did pass it more. For me, ASM is the only player who has looked better under Bruce! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Can someone explain why no one seems to think Watford could go down? They've lost 4 in a row. I know they beat Man Utd a few weeks ago but they've not exactly been pulling up trees anywhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4949 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Aye but so have most of these teams. Even Norwich have won more games than us and some of the teams people are mentioning here have 5 wins Anyway if we'd managed to win those two easier games instead of fucking them up we'd be on 14 points atm which I think is more representative of where we should be really. Assuming January allows us to improve, I think we can recover those 4 missed points and get out of this still. We need signings in place by mid-Jan though, that's when the easier games hit.
