Richard Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Can I recommend the fabulous ignore function I found when changing my profile it may help. I do not believe we will be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Well another loss and a very unfriendly looking fixture list coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Still don't see us going down. There are worse teams out there and as I keep on stressing we've got a lot of new players under a new manager trying a new style of play. We didn't go down last season under a much worse manager and that was with some pretty bad injuries as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 maybe we won't go down but we need to start to picking up points fast and Lambert needs to change/learn from his mistakes (and of course the players). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 7, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think we'll go down or grasp safety by the skin of our teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We will be in the mix. It's usually a bit of a lottery which three go through the trapdoor in May. Perhaps Lerner will sanction the purchase of a dominant midfielder in Jan if we are in the relegation places then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Once we get a settled midfield and defence we'll be ok. I trust Lambert will work on our inconsistencies. There are worse teams in the league than us. We proved against Swansea and Man City we are capable of playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We won't go down. Maybe we might go down. We will go down. There, I've covered my arse on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Forthcoming fixtures: October - Fulham (a) - they are in form at the moment, especially at home. Norwich (h) - six pointer already, they will be extremely motivated to get one over their ex manager though wont they? November - Sunderland (a) - Martin O'Neill factor, their fans still hate us because of the Darren Bent transfer. They will be fired up for this one. Manchester United (h) - they are a much better team than we are. Manchester City (a) - they are a much better team than we are, and I think they will be much more up for it than they were in the league cup. Arsenal (h) - they are a much better team than we are. Reading (h) - we absolutely have to win this one, dont we? We really could be in trouble by the start of December, some difficult fixtures coming up against teams in form or teams who might have extra motivation before we face the really big boys. Worrying times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 How long are we going assume that we won't go down due to being three worse teams than us in the division? Eventually we will go down because that won't always be the case and we are already very, very close to it this season. Lambert's decision to purchase potential rather than actual quality already seems to be back firing and it's only going to get worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Save an Everton/Wigan like second half of the season run of form, I think we're down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 7, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yeah, We'll be bottom 3 come December. Need to pick up some points after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things go as planned then I don't think we'll have to worry about other teams being worse than us after this. Not necessarily. As with any team players need time to settle. Look at QPR. They brought lots of "quality" (apparently anyway) yet they're rock bottom on 2 points. Save an Everton/Wigan like second half of the season run of form, I think we're down. Premature much? People don't have overreact on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I worry that for a side mostly comprised of youth and players not used to the Premier League, a bad run of results could shatter their self-belief, and things could just snowball from there...we really need a midfield general badly. KEA is a decent player, but he's not strong enough to anchor the midfield. Delph, Holman, Ireland, Bannan, Albrighton, Zog...they're all little guys, and it's a bit of a problem, in my opinion.

ryanvilla_1994 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 By the looks of things we are going to need some investment in January to stay up IMO. We could quite easily find ourselves bottom of the pack after the next 7 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
