darra Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Thing is whilst you're winning team spirit is good but lose a few and recriminations and accusations start getting thrown about in the dressing room and it starts to dip. They need to start winning and quick. Can't see them starting against Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 No neg button any more so I feel empowered to admit that I'd like Leeds to win their next game. Don't think I've ever said that. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 As pleasing as it is that they're going through a rocky patch, it's just way too early to start talking about relegation - they're still not even in the bottom 3 as it stands, it's hard to see WBA and Fulham doing better than them over the season, in fact there are probably half a dozen sides that are worse than them. There are literally countless examples of clubs having bad starts to seasons but staying up - I think it was in 90/91 their first season up after we'd been relegated that they didn't even manage to win a league game until just before Christmas, yet they still ended up staying up comfortably. They could well pick up 6 points from Leeds and Fulham and they'll start talking about Europe again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 They’re f***ed if they don’t get any fans in the Laneabau before the end of the season? They don’t have the same intensity in front of an empty stadium. I’m expecting Leeds to stick at least 4 past them on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 They signed Brewster yet? This one is taking a while, few interested clubs but seems to be no firm bids on the table. I still think United are hoping for a loan deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to find some goals from somewhere, even with their strong defence, that won't be enough When they concede first they are always going to be up against it, scoring twice at least to win will be a major issue. At least Fulham have goals in the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hopefully Brewster will find his millions elsewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I still think they'll stay up as there are probably three teams worse than them. I can see why people say they are going to struggle without the fans pashun behind them at home but i'm sure they wont be worried as their Guardiola-esque keep ball, technically beautiful, easy on the eye, loved by the neutral, flowing attackattackattack football will have them challenging for Europe.

Beighton Owl 87 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'm not sure which three teams are worse than them to be honest. Their probably on a par with WBA and Fulham. Brighton are looking a lot better so far and Palace have started really well too. Gonna be a long season for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another myth busted by evidence about how all that grunting from the stands helps the Pigs. Aug 19 to lockdown 1.6 points per game Post lockdown 1.8 points per game They’ve actually done better at home without crowds....so far. Last 14 in all competitions PL 14 W 3 D 2 L 9 11 pts in 12 PL games in that run relegation form. Weakened keeper and had to spend £18 million for the privilege. Arguably the worst forward options in the PL based on goals per game. Players playing at full tilt for a few seasons having an understandable blip/levelling off. No shock value anymore and other teams a bit wiser to them. A few more injuries and suspensions. Add all that up and hey presto. Probably be around 14th/16th but not around top 6 and ultimately top half like last season. Ideally they go down and Beakers head self combusts! Fk em! UTO! FTP! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Fulham have goals in the side They don't need to score loads, they finished 9th last season scoring only 39 goals and having the fewest shots on target in the division. Much the same as last season, they'll grind out a few narrow wins against teams like West Ham, Palace and Brighton and pick up a few unexpected points against some of the big boys, and as with last season I don't see anybody really battering them. Then they'll claim that due to being difficult to play against they're still everybody's second team and lauded for the way they play. Averaging less than a point a game has been sufficient to stay up for all but one of the last nine PL seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) I don’t get the obsession with wilder. His interviews are painful with so much humming and harring and no good language used or context to what he actually goes on about. Seems to try so hard to give off this ‘working class man’ facade Edited September 25, 2020 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
