Dr Gloom 21923 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Anyone worried we might go down? Zero wins after 8 games doesn’t bode well. Feels like we need some mindless optimism from Fish. It worked last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9775 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It’s going to be really difficult, November will be crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 We need a new manager in as soon as possible. We will possibly get a new manager bounce, and start to put some actual tactical framework in place which would hopefully mean we nick some wins before January where the squad can be really improved. The longer they keep Bruce the more difficulty there will be, the blokes an absolute negative imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 A new /decent/ manager in place soon and we'll be fine. Add strengthening from a stronger position than weve been in in years come january and we'll be comfortably midtable by the end of the season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13867 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Not to be Fish but there are 90 points to play for. Genuinely think a good or even decent manager will get a tune out of this lot, especially if two good defenders are brought in. The call on the manager has to be spot on, like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Biggest worry is regardless of who we get in to replace cunty cabbage, it’s going to take a few weeks to actually get the players fit because they all look shagged after 20 minutes atm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7295 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) First thing is to revert to a back 5, preferrably without Lascelles. Get Fernandez back in there and hopefully we have a manager who can get the most out of Schar. We need to be harder to score against, against Spurs we were diabolical in that regard and it's been the theme for the season. Hayden has to come back into the holding midfield protecting our defense and Willock needs to show some more discipline in not pressing too high and getting out of position. We need Almiron's running back in the side and a consistent run for Wilson up top. Edited October 18, 2021 by OTF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 We need to drop Joelinton from the squad, he shouldn’t even make the bench. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44880 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Aye 30 games to go. Nobody is relegated after 8 games and the new owners should be able to get us out of this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35082 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 We’re in a better position than we might’ve been due to the takeover happening now. If we can get a bit of momentum and improve (which shouldn’t be difficult) then it’ll make signing the right players in January easier. Having a decent manager should help in general too. Not that I think we’re going to be signing world class players. More like the sort of old heads Keegan brought in when he first took over. To be honest, even if we went down we’d still be in a better place. We were going down anyway in my opinion and with Ashley still owning the club I’d be amazed if we found it as easy as the last two times given the likely circumstances 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Yeah I think relegation will just mean we get laughed at by the rest of the world and have to stiff upper lip our way through that, but in the long run it'll be irrelevant. That said, I echo what everyone else is saying. There's time yet and there are plenty of shit teams in the division this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 11377 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 At least with the Fat Man gone, relegation this time could mean we could fumigate the whole place from top to bottom and start afresh. God knows it needs doing. I'd still rather stay up though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Last season included 2 long winless runs (7 and 9 games) and we finished on 45pts. This current squad of players is capable of midtable. We'll be getting a new manager soon and he will, at the very least, get this group of players performing at their level. We'll be strengthening in January so jokers like Shelvey will be pushed out of the lineup. All these things combined means we'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably him hiding as much as being lazy. Although that’s arguably worse anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosco 759 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) We have a lot of tough games before transfer window opens again and most good players won't come to a team in deep shit......we will be better off getting some good players in on loan. Most players coming to a team in bottom 3 of premier league spouting the "big club/always loved Newcastle/I want to win things" etc etc......are probably greedy bastards/shit players, we'll have enough of those when we're in top 6/8 but they'll be a better greedy bastard😉 Edited October 19, 2021 by Rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I don't think we are going to get relegated but it's going to be a challenging few months. We need a decent striker, a partner for Willock in CM and a couple of defenders as a minimum in January. Add that to Dubravka, Willock, ASM, Wilson, Almiron etc with a new manager and we should have a reasonable starting XI The challenge is then stopping the players dropped from the starting XI/1st team squad becoming toxic around the dressing room until we can get them shifted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20143 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Why isn't Gayle getting more game time? Surly he's a better option over Joe at the moment? Fuck me. A cardboard cut out would be better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21923 Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Another striker has to be high priority too because as soon as Wilson picks up another injury, which he will, we’re fucked for goals 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
