    In case anyone needs a reminder, the next 5 fixtures -

    Liverpool (A)
    Everton (H)
    Manchester City (A)
    Bournemouth (A)
    Arsenal (H)

    We are 13th, 5 points away from Swansea in 18th. We've lost 3 home games already and scored 9 goals in 11 games.

    We are in big trouble.

    First out of the door should be that puppet master Reed.

    I am not saying Pellegrino is blameless. I am saying the board and the players are more to blame.

    I`d back Austin against Long to nick a goal against a well organised defence every time.

    Again, it's his job to get them motivated.

    I'm sure selling half the squad would go down well with the fanbase <whistle>

    The board have ****ed up but that doesn't excuse the manager from getting blamed either. He's made no attempt to change tactics despite the crap that's being dished up in front of him week in week out.

    I’ve never been a pull the trigger, irrational sort of fan but I really really don’t think MP is the right man for us. I’d like to sack and move on ASAP frankly.

    I would just like to say to anyone who booed, and particularly those who booed Forster; I hope you have a **** week at work, your boiler packs up, & you get the runs from a dodgy kebab. ****ers.

    That is all.

    The Everton game is going to be massive. By then they should have a new manager installed, and we all know the impact that can make. As they are struggling to appoint someone, could they turn to Pardew?

    What is it they say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?

    Five after that are Leicester (H), Chelsea (A), Huddersfield (H), Spurs, (A), Man U (A). 10 points from those 10 would be a relief.

    I see opinions are very fractured. This will rumble on until a winning streak is hit!!

    Bournemouth and Everton games are looking huge.

    I've been saying for a while that we will spend some time in the bottom 3 during the winter and looking at that it's hard to argue against.

    Not long after that too is United, Chelsea and Spurs.

    But it is carrying on from the very poor 2nd half of last season. That is what I am getting at. Puel took over from a team Koeman had playing well. Pellegrino took over a team with 2 players wanting to leave and players that had got a manager sacked.

    Bit of a difference

    Agreed, which would put us at 23 points from 21 games... dead on track for 40 points :cry:

    I'd be amazed if we got more than 4 points out of that lot.
