Some posters just go on and on.

THey should survive in the third division with Bolton in trouble and Southend looking clueless and only three down. They are a decent bottom third division 3 side with a massive global following...apparently.

Yep, the real disappointment was the implosion against Burnley. But as you say 4 points ok, 6 would have been nice. A steady start and we will be OK if we are more clinical against our mid to lower rivals.

A fair point.

Fergie time

We just need a goal and the confidence will come back. We can win this.

They will be up for it. For a third division side it will be their cup final.

True. Clubs like Bury are the soul of football.

Was Redmond's injury a knock?

We should not be playing our best players in this competition. Worrying

Yes and we were only saved by Marcus or could easily have suffered the fate of Bolton.

It will be good if Adams gets off the mark.

Lol !! The irony of THAT post!

I sent a cheque later !!! wink wink

I think Newcastle feel the same. 9 points should be enough to survive this season.

Don't send cash it never seems to get to there.

Could have been worse, but we have to beat the lesser teams. The defeat against Burnley was more worrying.

In a nutshell.

Norwich black box did well last year. Pukki who cost nothing gets a hattrick and 4th goal in the Premier League.

I never thought we would get anything from this game.

In the context of our overall ambition, ie staying up with the minimum of outlay, then should be just enough. Same as in previous years and a pattern I predicted some years ago.

Obvious that this is a game in which we will be lucky to get a point. Still, I think we are in with a chance over the whole of the season to finish above the bottom three and might even finish 15th which would be a great achievement.

Have I said where we will finish yet? Where I hope we finish is top of the league, obviously. Where I think we will finish is based on an objective look at the facts.

I am still looking at all the different variables before I make my prediction. Hoping for my third correct prediction in a row !
