Relegation Watch

So did Newcastle until the red card.

[SoccerHQ]

Newcastle did really well against 10 men, moved Sheffield United around well.

We need to learn that skill for next  given how useless we've been against 10 men this year.

[PeterWithesShin]

They didn't have to do anything to win that, Edna gifts them the first, keeper's positioning was awful for the second and SU gave up.

It was still 0-0 at similar stage to when West Ham went down to 10 v us. We also had longer v 10 men v Arsenal (were also winning).

It's part of the naiveness at top level for me, didn't half drop loads of stupid points in August and September from winning positions. If we go down on GD to West Ham and Watford it's a crucial missed opportunity.

[PeterWithesShin]

And if Newcastle aren't gifted the first who knows how the game goes. You can't comapre the 2 imo because that result was down to SU imploding not Newcastle suddenly performing.

I wasn't really comparing the two. For the record I was o.k with 0-0 as that's the sort of result you need to break negative mindset considering we were on awful losing run. Hopefully we can continue to build on it today even if it's another draw.

Just saying if we want to stay up and be more than just happy to finish 17th in future seasons we need to start winning regularly against ten minute as it's something we're not very good at doing.

Makes our passive display on Wednesday even more galling. Sheffield were there for the taking if we had shown some attacking intent.

[hilts_coolerking]

Newcastle's morale will be a fuck's sight better than ours on Wednesday which must be pretty close to rock bottom.

[PeterWithesShin]

In our last 7 league games our attacking players have scored 1 goal.

[SoccerHQ]

We've also lost 11 of our last 16 premier league games. It's pretty much the same as 15/16 now.

It will be bizarro world next week when we watch a Steve Bruce side have significantly more possession than the opponent.

[TaxDodger]

I dunno, they've got the win they need to sure of safety now, so maybe they'll stop giving a shit.. maybe..

Either way, I don't really think we're in much of a worse position than we were at the start of the weekend. We had the hardest fixture and lost a point on Watford, but didn't lose anything on West Ham or Bournemouth, the latter of which look fucked considering their run in.

Yeh, fuck it, I've convinced myself, we're staying up.

It ain't over till its over. And having seen Bournemouth, West Ham and us, it ain't going to be over till the last game of the season.

[OzVilla]

TBH I never really thought Brighton were in any danger of going down, too much presence at the back and up top to nick something and they just seem more battle hardened, same goes for Watford.  Players like Dawson and Deeney with an old head like Pearson will see them fine.  So it's 3 from 4 - Norwich, us, Bournemouth and West Ham. To think we've gifted Bournemouth 6 points and couldn't beat 10 man West Ham at home.

Ach that's a bit too painful to be reminded.
