Should we be worried about relegation

[curiousorange]

Take a look at the results from Newcastle's relegation season. I reckon they're not unlike ours this season so far.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

the bigest problem is that we do not look up for the fight

Have to agree, even when everyone is on form we haven't got many fighters.

Take a look at the results from Newcastle's relegation season. I reckon they're not unlike ours this season so far.

I'm not so much worried as depressed.

It gives me no pleasure whatsoever to have been so accurate.

That is frightening to see how far we've fallen in such a short time.

[TheSandman]

We've conceded more and scored fewer goals too

I don't recall Newcastle getting raped up the arse by some midtable team 6-0 either.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Before I thought of course not. Now I'm not so sure.

[TimTheVillain]

Before I thought of course not. Now I'm not so sure.

Make yer mind up ;-)

Yes I say - YES.

[Irish villain]

Holy cow we are bad....I'm so worried after that performance tonight

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Cannot except we are relegation material just yet, but come sat night that could change .......

[Pat McMahon]

We're 2 above the relegation places so yes we are.

[Holtenderinthesky]

I predicted a 3-0 loss tonight and still I believed we'd be safe.  Having seen my prediction come true I am really worried.  One thing is for sure, we won't be anywhere near the level we achieved under MON, whatever his detractors say.  Yes we should be worried. We are awful and our manager is a clown.

[Simba]

I am an old man. Trust me, we are in the relegation bunfight.

And after the 'performance' last night, which reminded me of the first half against Arsenal, we seem devoid of ideas, lack confidence, passion and any tactical nouse. We don't defend, can't mount a telling threat and have no guile or guts in midfield.

It is not all about the players is it? Most of those failings are the job of management to resolve.

I am not even convinced about the injury list excuse in that the youngsters have been excellent at times. Better than the senior players. Ok I miss Petrov more than I thought I would as he is a protector for our suddenly porous back line.

Sorry, but Houllier has lost it for me. Already, and I supported the appointment.

We will be struggling to avoid the drop and I am not convinced we will.

[SteveN]

Yes - no team is ever too good to go down, and we are not too good on present form.

[Simba]

do the pole again......
