grefstad 0 Posted December 8, 2013 A fairly lucky win, Fer looked out od sorts, despite the goal and assist, Johnson pretty poor in midfield, losing almost every 50/50 challenge. We invited a lot of pressure on us, and could easily have lost 3-0 on another day.Results sadly partly against us.Stoke won 3-2 vs Chelsea, which was very unwelcome, Palace beat Cardiff ( a draw would suit us), etc.Sunderland and West Ham losses as expected.Still only 4p off the drop. Must hope Fulham lose today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricardo 8,034 Posted December 8, 2013 Another game gone.We won away from home.Nobody made up ground on us.Sunderland, W.Ham, Cardiff drop 3 points further behind.Statto Index rate us as the 12th best team in the league and see our true relegation odds as 13.5 to 1What you see depends on where you stand.[:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted December 8, 2013 I don''t suppose our loss to Villa or draw against Cardiff was down to bad luck, so I''m not that content with labelling our win away at West Brom as lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fer Redmond Ruddy and bag loads of resilience."Fer looked out od sorts, despite the goal and assist" - that''s like saying Suarez was cr*p except for his four goals against us."Invited a lot of pressure on us" - I think you''ll find WBA invited themselves, having gone one down."Results against us" - Only if you''re looking down.

Yellow Bird 0 Posted December 8, 2013 You can call it lucky, but we did defend when needed and scored 2 out of (I think) 3 shots on goal. We can''t control what other teams do, although disappointing, as we could''ve made some real ground yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Catbeard The Old 0 Posted December 8, 2013 It''s going to be interesting supporting a Lambert team again today. In my opinion if we can stay ahead of Fulham and West Ham we''ll survive comfortably.Sunderland are gone, they''re too far adrift and haven''t improved at all under Poyet. Palace may survive, I don''t think they have as bad a first team as some people think and Pulis is a good manager although if we finish below them we''ll certainly be relegated so I''m not too worried about the results of those two. The only ones that concern me are Fulham and West Ham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grefstad 0 Posted December 8, 2013 I have revised my wish for Fulham-VillaA draw would be fine here.Important for us to keep Fulham down there with poor form, overpaid players, shit manager, etc. Soon we will play them at Carra.Also important for us that Man U continue their poor form with Moyes at the helm, with the match 28.12 vs us in mind. Maybe we will beat Man U and get Moyes sacked? :)The home match vs Swansea is important, all home games are, but the away game at Sunderland is very important. Stiffle them, perhaps snatch a draw, and the Sunderland morale/momentum will likely never build.Their two home losses vs Tottenham and Chelsea recently must have been demoralising for them.

Mr Angry 2,016 Posted December 8, 2013 I would think we''d be looking to beat Sunderland, we should have done last season and they are far worse than Stoke or WBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grefstad 0 Posted December 8, 2013 ALways struggle with Sunderland away though.And they got plenty of guts and morale in their team, lacks quality, of course.Very bad with Fulham win now, looks easy for them, and I hate when poor teams get easy games, building morale, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
