After todays great game and many positives, we still lost, how far do you think we will drop by 6 PM? and who are likely to do us a favour? There are some interesting fixtures, what's your predictions. SO 2 PLACES IT IS THEN.
A couple of places maybe. Don't see Villa slipping. I think Norwich will get point at best versus Palace. Not too concerned at the moment. If at the end of Jan we are still only 4 points from the relegation zone, and we haven't strengthened sufficiently, then it will be squeaky bum time
Even if we are in a relegation place after Man U I won't panic - we will stay up. I didn't expect points today and don't expect any from ManU or Spurs - play like today and we could a bonus point or four. It all be performances in Feb that will be important.
West Brom 1 - 0 Newcastle FT, that's a surprise, though WBA still below us on goal difference, so we are down to 13th after today, Stoke and Villa leap frog us?................
It is highly likely/probable that we won't win our next two League fixtures and we will drop to just above the relegation zone. After that I fully expect us to start picking up points again. As I have said on a previous thread, it is up to our fans to hold their nerve during an extremely difficult period.
I think we can all hold our nerve as long as our team put in the shift they should, cut out the individual stupid errors, and feed Bony good service!........ I'm not too worried, never have been, but our performances just had to improve, and today showed some great intent, which is very encouraging, more of the same please.
There's been a few flapping on here recently. Hopefully they will now see the light at the end of the tunnel due to the fact that we have no Euro action for a few weeks. Having said that, another injury today has not helped our cause, but luckily the transfer window has arrived which should lead to some reinforcements.
Ive been extremely worried about us but im hoping that today a corner was turned, i think we will be bang in the relegation zone come the end of the month but i feel that we are good enough to come through that, we arnt a bad team and bony when used correctly is world class! Kompany,a player i regard as one of the best centre halfs around struggled to cope with Wilf today, the guy was unplayable and if the penny has dropped with Laudrup and the team that this player needs good,early regular service then we will climb the table in due course. The next few games will be nothing but bonus matches though im thinking Man utd are there for the taking !! Im very happy after todays performance, drop chico for Amat and bring in taylor for ben when playing the top teams and that should sort out the defence, taylor does the defensive job much better and ben has stopped contributing at the attacking end of the field these days so taylor whould be there keeping us tight and covering the sloppy defending ,he was outstanding at chelsea and his positional play is in a different class from young ben,who will obviously understand more in time
nothing to concern us yet.. even if we get zero points from Manure and Spurs we will still be only 1 point below where I thought we would be by then. I have forecast us to finish the season on 48 points and we are still on course for this. What everyone needs to look at is the fact that we have more winable Home games this half of the season compared to the first half (and realistically less european and domestic cup games as well compared to the first half of the season)....By the way..I thought BONY looked impressive yesterday...
Cardiff fan: I do not see you have a problem from the way you play, Bony is a top class player with a good team around him. We have a tough January and will probably slip too but with luck come the end of the season we will both be ok. jck
Everyone should have some concern or you will sound arrogant, we are not where we are for no reason whatever the reason is and no matter how good we look we are still not winning at home and have yet to achieve any back to back wins. So if this trend continues then you have to be concerned until we start to reverse this trend. It remains to be seen if this will happen but we have been fortunate that the other bottom clubs have been worse or we would be in trouble.
I agree Dai, though I took heart from the Citeh game, getting Bony firing was a joy to see!...............
Bony should have played in the other big club games instead of wasting his time and skill sitting on the bench....
Well yes, and I think that and Laudrup's habit of playing people out of position has been one of the major reasons for our problems this season?
