Dr Gloom 21924 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) I’m not sure even many of us are feeling that pessimistic. I expect us to be down there in the relegation mix, but will we be worse than Burnley, Sheffield United, Brighton, Villa etc? I think we might end up 15th-17th, if the new signings hit the ground running. Reach for the stars Edited August 7, 2019 by Dr Gloom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily see us having five points after the first nine matches of the season and I don't think we have what it takes to recover from that.

Ayatollah Hermione 13873 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 By the same token, we were predicted 8/9th finishes the season McClaren took over and we went down. They put a lot of weight on the off-the-field events which is why their predictions are so lopsided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13873 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thanks for the links. Not sure what they have to do with easily swayed football reporters who only do the surface level thinking before predicting but thanks all the same.

I've signed up to give it a go. Waugh is their main NUFC reporter but Walker and Caulkin are going to be doing some stuff as well. It's just handy to have a central point for some good football analysis now that the Fish has become a wet nurse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
