I think they are in real trouble. Out of their last 10 games they have 4 at home and 6 away games. Their away form is the worst in the league together with Forest (1 away win all season).Unfortunately I think are there are 3 worse teams, but we can only hope they go down...
We were probably lucky to come away with 2pts from them as well. Useless feckers, always let you down.
Close enough.Hope it will be Eveeton Lester & WestHam
relegated
More likely it will be Foreat Southampton & Bournemouth
If West Ham go down we should go for Scamacca, he'd be perfect backup option for bench and he clearly has the materials to develop further. Him having a rough season benefits us fee wise, be worth the risk.
Based on how they also comfortably beat Man Utd, and based on our current form right now, and if we don't quickly grow a backbone, and if Newcastle's form continues, can you see us doing any better in 2 weeks time ?Woah 5-1 to the barcodes
Top 4 is long gone as far as I'm concerned. With the games in hand situation as it is, we needed 6 points from these last 2 games to even stand a chance. We needed to see a real indication that the away form was improving and we've seen nothing of the sort in either game - we conceded 3 goals to Southampton (a team who'd scored 3 times in total in the 8 matches before they met us) and needed a penalty to score against a dreadful Everton side. I simply don't see any reason to be optimistic about anything improving before the end of the season. And next up: Brighton, who have 2 games in hand on us and are only 4 points behind.Based on how they also comfortably beat Man Utd, and based on our current form right now, and if we don't quickly grow a backbone, and if Newcastle's form continues, can you see us doing any better in 2 weeks time ?
We lost badly in that disastrous last game of the season which saw Arsenal pip us to 2nd in 2015/16 and that was 5-1 and Poch had an absolute fit. Unless things drastically turn around in the next fortnight we could be handed out a 5-1 thrashing up there too. Would anyone following us be remotely surprised, because at the moment I wouldn't .....

I’ve been impressed with how quickly Newcastle have excelled this season: before the spending spree they will have over the next few windows as well! Its going to be them and city over the next 5 years plus.Based on how they also comfortably beat Man Utd, and based on our current form right now, and if we don't quickly grow a backbone, and if Newcastle's form continues, can you see us doing any better in 2 weeks time ?

I can see us being put to the sword up there in a few weeks. Like others, I am not even concerned with top 4 or bothered as we need yet another reset. I was at every home CL match this season and especially the last home game vs AC Milan we looked miles off competing in that competition.
I’m going to the remaining home games and I’ll get behind the team like I always do but my expectations have lowered dramatically.
I know some may disagree but I’d just be happy to play in the Europa League under a progressive, attacking style manger similar to the time of Jol.
I’d be content with a mix of mainly youth with a few senior heads instead of what we’ve had years previous under Jose & Conte (playing deadwood squad players who think they’re too good for it). But even when looking at things now we’d be lucky to be in the Europa League.
Just at the stage of here we go again and prepared to get an actual identity back liking the team. Yet again all down to whether the board and Levy have had an awakening
