Howmanheyman 32795 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 They need to win 14 out of 30 games and they'll probably stop up, no doubt they'll draw some which will be a big problem if those draws come more from the 14 wins than the 16 losses if you catch my drift?

They’re bottom for a reason They could easily go down but I just think they have a decent chance of staying up because they are only a couple of good results away from climbing out the relegation zone. A lot depends who they get in as the next manager though. Fuck that up and they're in big bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21823 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 i think they've got about as much chance of staying up as they have going down. without getting the manager job spot on and some shrewd investment in january, they could be fucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1224 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'm not that convinced some average at best manager will have the ability to sort our their defence tbh. Any thought that they are going to get a good manager is pie in the sky unless by some miracle they appoint Ball or ratboy and they turn out to be something unexpected. Other than those two the choices are very limited for them and they have players like O'Shea who's playing walking football these days, Kone who is desperate to get away or Jones who is just plain awful.  I still look at the starting 11's they are putting out and with how close they actually are those above them, I think they are far from done for if someone can motivate them.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's possible that they could get a manager to do that. I just doubt it would be done by improving their defence. Other than maybe just improving their attitudes. Mind you, from the outside there seems to be something very wrong going on inside that club and I'm not sure even a good manager that the players believed in (ie the type they won't be getting) would be able to fix that.

I think there's something to this like. And while they aren't absolute shite in Championship terms, they're lacking in quality enough that, without putting a shiift in, most teams will beat them by default.

Â Watched the last half an hour or so yesterday and, while it may have been because they were 1-0 down, they looked like they were just waiting for the final whistle to blow so they could fuck off home. There was absolutely zero quality but it seems like their confidence is completely battered to the point where the opposition just need to score first to win. Or maybe they just couldn't give two fucks. Still, Phil Neville will sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
