Re: We won’t go down
Obviously (to me) but I think we will finish higher then 17th as well.
Re: We won’t go down
Obviously haven't watched us much this season then.

Re: We won’t go down
I can’t see where we’re going to get another 20-odd points from.

Is that just blind faith or do you honestly believe that there are 3 or 4 worse teams than us? From what I've seen unless something changes drastically we will finish rock bottom.South West Claret. wrote:Obviously (to me) but I think we will finish higher then 17th as well.

Re: We won’t go down
8 league wins in the whole of 2018 a big ask to get 20 odd points in the next 5 months especially with the amount of goals we are currently conceding.

Re: We won’t go down
Unfortunately, I can see both Southampton and Fulham spending their way out of trouble. I think it’ll be us, Cardiff and Huddersfield for the drop.
Currently, we seem to be the team with the least fight. Hopefully that changes quickly.

Re: We won’t go down
Fulham will throw £100+ million in yet another attempt to buy survival. We need a good transfer window to stay up.

Re: We won’t go down
Are we in trouble? Yes
Would most of us take 17th? Yes
Should we be aiming higher than 17th? Probably
Are there 3 teams worse than us? So far this season... no
Can we take more points than 3 other teams between now and May? Yes
Will Fulham, Huddersfield and Southampton spend more than us in January? Almost certainly
Will we survive? Possible. Not probable

It won't happen. What will probably keep us up is to beat all of the teams around us.
As one of a significant minority on here that predicated our current plight because of being in the EL and our approach to the last 2 transfer windows, I am able to move on faster than most. The ones for who whom reality has only just set in.
So we can stay up if we fight. That is going to need some unusual steps, including Bardsley in ths Barton role.

Re: We won’t go down
I think it has to be a given that Cardiff will go down despite the odd foray above the red line, but Udders are a decent side and Fulham are much better than their place says and also have zillions to spend. I'd be very, very surprised if we avoid the drop from our current position.

Re: We won’t go down
When they played us at Burnley they were miles better than us and we were actually clinging on for the draw when they were rushing to constantly get the ball in play because they believed they could win. However I do accept that Mooy was a huge factor for them and I believe he's injured for some time yet and that will hurt them very badly.Spijed wrote:Where are people getting this idea that Huddersfield are a decent side when their strikers can't score at all?

Re: We won’t go down
That's one game though. Decent Premier league teams do not reside at the bottom of the table.Dark Cloud wrote:When they played us at Burnley they were miles better than us and we were actually clinging on for the draw when they were rushing to constantly get the ball in play because they believed they could win.

Definitely agree with that, but I can only judge teams off the games I've seen them so I assume Udders don't always play like they did at the Turf.Spijed wrote:That's one game though. Decent Premier league teams do not reside at the bottom of the table.

Re: We won’t go down
The worst points total in the second half of a Premier League season under Dyche.
17 points - twice.
So essentially only last season have we got more than 17 points under Sean in the second half of a PL season.
Let's face it it's the home form that's doing the damage. We need Pope and a minor miracle.

Re: We won’t go down
Fulham - excellent manager, decent players and loads of cash - unlikely to be in the bottom 3
Newcastle - a lot depends if they get sold but are one team we have to finish above
Huddersfield- good team spirit but again we should have enough to finish above them
Southampton - good players but once the new manager bounce has finished, it might be close
Cardiff - good spirit but overall quality not good enough
So if 2 of the bottom 3 are Cardiff and Huddersfield, then it’s one of us, Southampton or Newcastle
Can’t see anyone else getting involved?

Re: We won’t go down
I can't see us finishing above Newcastle due to Rafa,Southampton i think will just have enough to survive,we should have enough to finish above both Huddersfield and Cardiff,but Fulham on paper have the talent to win games,but you wonder about their team ethic,we have to beat them at the turf thankfully we normally do.SalisburyClaret wrote:Fulham - excellent manager, decent players and loads of cash - unlikely to be in the bottom 3

Being cut adrift now.
After our 4-0 defeat tomorrow will have a really bad goal difference as well.

Re: We won’t go down
For us to even have a chance of beating the drop something very drastic has to change, starting tomorrow. We need to learn to attack, hurt teams, play football sometimes on the ground, pace, vision, and get away from this god awful hit it to the big man and hope something happens.
Is that going to happen?? Course it’s not, it’s been like that for 12 months now so nothing will change and we’ll be dropping like a stone to the championship.
Tomorrow will be another bore fest of 30-40yr long ball stuff, coupled with sitting deep so West Ham put so much pressure on us we’ll crack. No pace to hit on the counter.
So predictable so sorry OP we will go down.
