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.

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?

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.

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.

To be fair, you hadn't just a derby to think about but a whinging female as well. ;)

It was more exasperation than whinging, but aye. :lol:

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.

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.

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.
