So just for context how bad we are doing in the league. If brentford win both their  games in hand they go above us and we we will be 11th.

Thats pretty poor tbh

Thanks for that bit of good cheer!  The PL from 10th up to 4th is completely unpredictable.  Any of the teams in that pack could finish 10th.

You are welcome. Its not about cheer though, its about pointing out how badly we ard doing in the league as the evidence is there for all to see. 10th playing  more games than anyone. Its not like we have had that tough games in the last 5-6 games barring liverpool and maybe chelsea

There  is zero chance of top 5 if you cant win a away game for toffee

We have now conceded 2 or more goals in 50% of our league games and have the worst conceded column outside of the bottom 5. No way on earth we can get any europe with those stats let alone Champ league in my brutal opinion

26 times we've conceded at least 2 in our last 50 league games. It's not just this season, it's a long term problem not addressed by the manager or coaching staff. Loaning more forwards isn't going to help.

This is the thing I don’t get, he is an elite coach. You would think he would have noticed this and done something about it.

I knew there was a reason Luke referenced that particular game.

Straw clutching time.

Looks like 5th spot will qualify for the Champs League next season (extra place on the old coefficient rigmarole).

Anyway, if justice is done and City maintain their current position of 4th but get a humongous points deduction post season sufficient to relegate them, then the club finishing 5th moves up to 4th and the club finishing in 6th spot will climb to 5th!!

Currently that's Toon on 44 points.

We're on 42.

Just need to stop pissing about

We're still in contention for it, but it's largely down to other results going our way. We've been riding that luck for far too long now. 5th spot will go to whichever team can string even 2 or 3 wins together in a row, and at the moment that really doesn't feel like us.

A fortunate enough win if memory serves correctly with DCL missing a sitter at the death.

We are 10th, we would need to overhaul 5 teams to make 5th.

If we can grab something against Brentford, then get the majority of our main stays back in the weeks off from there then there's a slight chance. But we really need 8 wins out last 10 so....
