The Fish 10872 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 We're 3 points behind Norwich mate unless we beat them 4-0 at their place we're still in the bottom 3. we're 3pts behind Norwich with a game in hand. Palace are in free fall. It may become 2 from 4 by the time the next fixtures are done. Mackems aren't winning, Norwich are still in trouble, Palace are shit, Swansea aren't much better. We've got games against 4 of the bottom 6. It's too soon to be adamant we're down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30656 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Palace are a bit like us last season, you keep thinking all along that they've already got enough points to see them safe but they keep on failing to get results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10872 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Ridicule is nothing to be scared of. Not saying we're definitely staying up, just giving the self-flagellating members of TT a bit of perspective. Rafa's had fuck all time with this team and that Derby would have been lost under Pardew, Carver, McClaren etc. We're not down yet, so rather than sitting in a dark room, drinking gin and weeping, I choose to be a little less pessimistic. Try it, you might find you like it. Or, you could stay a misery, but do so quietly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 If we'd been playing fairly well early in the season like Palace & we're in a bit of a free fall you have a bit of hope that they'd regain that form to reach safety. But when we've been in and around the bottom 3 all season showing no signs of going on a run. Then with 8 games left the reality of relegation has to kick in. Even the most optomistic fans can see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToony 41 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Well, look at the substitution patterns between Rafa and Mclaren. Shtevie basically brought in the same players in the same positions all season long to no avail. Whereas last week when Anita was awful and we were getting nothing from midfield,he moved Gini alongside Shelvey, DeJong at the #10 spot behind Mitro. Same this week. Took out Colback, moved Sissoko to LB (which he played well and seemed more confident to join the play form there), and maneuvered the shape of the team so our best players were on. Love it.

Gemmill 44988 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Well, mathematically it isn't, but it would make it a fuck of a lot harder, and would be massively dispiriting for the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21963 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 We've got to beat Norwich. If we don't, we're looking at needing to win 4 of our last 7 games, which I just don't see happening. I don't see us winning 4 from 8, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7083 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 We've won 6 from 30. 20%. So we need to double our win rate in the last 8 games. Assuming we can start scoring a bit and stop being Keystone at the back and get everyone fit again and have a few lucky breaks and claw some confidence from somewhere we can definitely still stay up.

Asprilla 96 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 We couldn't beat the third worst team in the league at home. We're fucked. Derbies are not ordinary games. I'm not exactly pleased but we didn't lose and we didn't throw away a lead. We've also lost the last 6 of these games when we were arguably better and they were shitter.
