Just over two months ago Newcastle went to Leicester and lost 5-0.

For all the stick we all give Bruce Newcastle response since that game has been excellent. Just two losses to us and Chelsea away.

Today is first time we've been battered at this level since promotion. Even in Man. City game it was 0-0 at half time so we were in it more than today.

We need to grow a pair and go out and battle for a point at Sheffield no matter how we play or who isn't injured and take things from there rather than just feeling sorry for ourselves or start worrying the fans will turn.

Buying or loaning a striker in January might help aswell.

Beyond worried now.

Management is naive and the players are knackered and largely mediocre.

Big changes required.

At the start of the season I said I'd be over the moon with 17th and that hasn't changed.  We've spent a lot of money on a lot of players who aren't contributing.

Maybe I am clutching at straws but of the bottom eight teams we have the best goal difference.

Burnley -8
Everton -9
Bourmemouth -6
West Ham -8
Villa -5
Southampton -17
Norwich -17
Watford -21

After 16 games we're 1 win short of being on the points average we need to stay up. Beat Saints and Norwich at home and at the halfway mark we're back on target for 42 points.

I'm not worried as of yet as it's quite a poor league down at our end, if we struggle to beat the likes of Watford, Southampton, Norwich ( again ) then ill start shitting my pants.

The next five will probably give us an indication of where we're heading. We've got to be picking up 9 points absolute minimum and making up the ground we've lost in what has been a torrid fixture run. I'm thankful we caught Newcastle on a bad day because that should have been a tougher game than it was. I don't think we've done any worse than we should have expected between the Man City game and now.

Okay it never particularly applies to Villa because we're so good at shooting ourselves in the foot but, the second half of the season looks a little easier than the first half. Then depending on what we do in January as far as signings, I'd expect us to finish solidly.

Today needs to be the kick in the balls Dean Smith needed. If we come out with the same bollocks next week, same system, same fucking inability to adapt he's going to be fucked The next string of games won't relegate us but if we fuck it up Dean Smith will be fired in my opinion.

Sorry but without a big spend up in January, this team is going down

Just not enough quality in it.

Annoyingly, it feels like every other hopeless team in the bottom half have managed to pull a wonder result out of their arse. Okay, you'd rather beat your Burnleys and Norwichs, but an unexpected three points today would have taken so much pressure off the run to come.
