Thread: Looking at our remaining fixtures

    Looking at our remaining fixtures

    We have a lot of winnable (on paper anyway) matches between now and May, if we can strengthen in the right areas I can see us staying up. A good run, win 3 out of 4 or something like that will change everything.

    Looking forward to to the 2nd half of the season now.

    We do have but I just have a feeling about this season.

    The game-changer could be the transfer window. Teams in our situation aren't normally able to spend like we'll be able to so that has to give us a better chance.

    But, having seen a few relegation seasons before, this has all the right ingredients from awful, awful decisions against us and bad luck that beggars belief to suicidal decision-making and horrendous mistakes on the pitch.

    I'd love to start the year with optimism but I guess I'm just trying to prepare myself.

    One thing in our favour is that Eddie Howe has considerable experience in these situations and will know just what is needed in the short term to get us out of the mess we are in.

    Agreed.

    So far, it feels, that everything that could has gone against us.

    This time, we know the prem has a vendetta against us.

    Howay, man. Have faith.

    We wouldn't have any more points under Brooce. Would have had the same dodgy team, shit manager, dippy director and cunt of an owner. There would be no money spent in this window - just being linked with players who we can't get over the line.

    I would have bitten off your hand at the shoulder for a new owner with the most money in the league, new director and new manager. If you'd offer me a trade for all of the above and same rubbish points with half a season left, I would take where we are all day long.

    Just seeing SJP without Sports Direct desecrating every angle of it should steel us for the battle.

    --

    Let's not die a thousand deaths here. If we go down, we go down. But we are 2 back-to-back wins from where we need to be competing with 19 to play, an open window, more money than we want to reasonably spend and a hungry talented manager. We are not cut adrift and the others in the footrace are stumbling too.
