Tuns 233 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Potentially we could avoid relegation this season and win the f.a cup. Keep dreaming Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I had us on 19th on 33 points.. maybe I'm expecting the teams around us to pick up more points than they will.. here's hoping! Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thought I was dooing Boro with the way may predicions were going but somehow managed to get us into 16th on 34 points, 3 above the drop. Had home wins against Burnley, Sunderland and Southampton. I really dodn't think I was harsh on the other. Shows that they too have some pretty rough fixtures. And there are plenty of relegation six pointers towards the bottom from now on. Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 i had us finishing on 33 points and 18th ..down with Sunderland and Palace :( Link to post Share on other sites
SmogInSheff 66 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 17th on 31 points - Palace, Hull and Sunderland to go down. I think we will beat Sunderland and Burnley at home and then fluke another one somewhere we don't expect. Hull's honeymoon period will end shortly, Palace are still garbage despite beating us comfortably and well we all know how good Sunderland are. UTB Link to post Share on other sites
Ever_the_optimist 41 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I had 17th on 33, with Hull, Palace and Sunderland below us in that order Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 30 points and 17th, but Hull also on 30 and going down. Would make sense with their goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Down on 30 points for me but I was being conservative (I hope). There are points out there for us, I just don't know if we've got what it takes to go and get them. Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I haven't done the predictor thing. I got pinned down into doing one when I was last on BBC Tees but honestly, I prefer to go a game at a time. Football is a funny old thing and theres a reason its hard to predict. I just keeping showing up, singing and hoping for the best. Link to post Share on other sites

sanddancer 1,967 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I am sure we will go down but I don't think it's a bad thing. At least we will see some decent games and wins. My only wish was to see us have ago this season but not even a whimper. Link to post Share on other sites

Okladomah 2 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I think it's pretty unlikely we'll stay up. I believe that the players work hard and I really don't think 'going down without a fight' is the issue but that the mentality is more of a problem. We're naturally defensive minded and on our showing this season we just don't deserve to stay up. I think other teams can pick up a surprise win, but we won't be able to match that and it's that negative attitude that will cost us. Again, it's not the lack of hard work, it's the lack of going for it. The chains are on and we'll inevitably sink. Unfortunately, it's part of what Karanka has instilled in the team - work hard but don't take the risks. Keep it tight and hope. I also don't think it's that bad either. If we go down we push on and try again...and actually win again. Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 385 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I think we been some unlucky too, we have 10 draws, 2 of those could had been wins with some luck ( Leicester away comes to mind and maybe stoke at home) then we would have 4 more points on the board I am not sure if any more offensive attitude would have gained us more, not with the squad we have But I know 90% in here disagree so no real use to discuss at as one will just be jumped and asked not to post anymore.....

Boro 86 517 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I think we been some unlucky too, we have 10 draws, 2 of those could had been wins with some luck ( Leicester away comes to mind and maybe stoke at home) then we would have 4 more points on the board I am not sure if any more offensive attitude would have gained us more, not with the squad we have But I know 90% in here disagree so no real use to discuss at as one will just be jumped and asked not to post anymore..... I am firmly in the 10% then. It is too easy to talk about attacking when we don't (yet) have the players for it. If we do go down this season, and I am still convinced we won't, it will be the best defensive record ever to be relegated (I think) The teams that have stayed up have generally done so by being solid at the back in the first couple of years and trying to build from there. If we stick to what we do best we will be ok this season. Link to post Share on other sites
