Tonight’s reaction
I think apart from one poster everyone feels the same tonight,and it could be one of the few occasions this season that we’re all in agreement that today we competed against the side that’s 2nd in the league and deserved at least a draw,and were probably robbed,let’s beat all the teams in the bottom half of the table and we’re in with a chance.

Re: Tonight’s reaction
Played really well today and have done for a number of weeks now (barring Everton). Improvement is clear, we’ve been unlucky too. I think we’ll sweep Luton aside. It looks a long shot to stay up unless a team above the relegation zone goes into a nosedive but if we bring some experience in with the window you never know.

I think we can all accept defeat, and relegation, as long as we do it "fighting". Sounds like we performed and battled well todayWestleigh wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 7:05 pmI think apart from one poster everyone feels the same tonight,and it could be one of the few occasions this season that we’re all in agreement that today we competed against the side that’s 2nd in the league and deserved at least a draw,and were probably robbed,let’s beat all the teams in the bottom half of the table and we’re in with a chance.

Played well today in the main. Daft individual mistakes cost us again, as they have done countless times this season.
I’m not as confident as Jedi about us brushing Luton aside, though. They seem to be giving everyone a good game.

Tbf that performance was heading in the right direction.
I am still incredibly frustrated with our defence and January is absolutely critical if we are to pull of the great escape.
Thumbs up tonight

Re: Tonight’s reaction
Luton are, like us, growing into this league
If we have to rely on a cm pairing from Brownhill, Cullen or Ramsey we are going to be in a serious fight in this game
Re: Tonight’s reaction
Not many brush Luton aside. Dont see why we would. They've got more points than us for one.
Re: Tonight’s reaction
Gutted tonight ... I watched on a stream that buffered a lot but didn't miss the main bits ...
To coin a phrase "We wuz robbed" ... watched a young side that gave it all and battled.
Proud of our lads tonight we definitely deserved something from that game

Sweep Luton aside meaning ‘win the game’ - apologies if the insinuation was ‘batter’ to you all! I think it will be a close game but I feel confident we will win, that’s all

We have just gave the 2nd placed team at the moment a real go at their own ground with a battling performance, I'm not saying we will definately stay up but we are definately in with a chance of staying up.

Isn't it just a one game ban for second yellow red card meaning he will miss "Spuds" away in the cup

It would be remarkable but I am more positive after todays performance that we can do it.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 7:28 pmI think we have improved recently but the required form we need is almost 1.3-1.4 points per game.
That’s similar form to Chelsea/Newcastle currently. It’s possible but would be remarkable
Wouldn't be suprised if it goes to the very last game v Forest.

Sheffield conceded 12 shots and we conceded 19 shots?
Both Sheffield and Burnley put in great performances. That’s the neutral POV

Re: Tonight’s reaction
I think the intelligent money would be on relegation not because I'm negative but because we need too many points to reach the 35 that will likely be required to survive.
The only saving grace is if we can buy a couple of players in the window that can transform us into a top ten side to get the 1.3 /1.4 points we need.
We now seem to be in the midst of a competition to appear the most genuinely unhinged on here but I think the smart money would look at the facts and suggest that staying up looks pretty far fetched now.
We need some game changing signings now I don't think you can rely on other teams crashing and burning.

Hard to imagine Everton would freefall under the management of Sean Dyche. Dodgy result today, but they've turned in some brilliant performances this season.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 7:47 pmEverton maybe? But that would depend on them freefalling this second half of the season.
In my opinion, I'm afraid we're done, win or no win against Luton. Such a shame we decided to write off a precious PL season in favour of blooding youngsters. I was so looking forward to seeing us compete at this level after the highs of last season.

Re: Tonight’s reaction
The main reason to remain positive is Foster. Makes a massive difference. Pace, strength and getting a good conversion rate.
Of course we are more likely to go down, but in Trafford, Foster, Amdouni, LK and Odobert We have good assets. Next time we need to sort the back 4 and defensive midfield.

I personally think we are down and it would take something truly remarkable to stay up.
I know it’s controversial but I think our only chance is a new managers bounce to close the gap.

I think we have some absolute stars of the future who are just not quite ready for the PL right now.
They are improving collectively. Al Dakhil, Ramsey, Massengo will become very good players for Burnley.

But, we were only able to do so and were flattered by Villa and other teams wasting opportunities and chances that they create and we gift.
One highlight is Trafford is coming good, and proving alot of people wrong.

It’s pointless banging on about how well we play and how we deserve this and that when in reality we are having to score at least two a game to get at least a point. The defensive line that finished today would struggle in League 1.
