Wiz 0 Posted February 3, 2014 After a good look and study of our remaining fixtures I''m predicting we will win NO MORE GAMES this season! Unless that is Hughton is removed by our gutless board of directors. Have a good look yourselves and then you tell me where the wins are coming from because I can''t see any.

Paul 0 Posted February 3, 2014 Stoke, Sunderland and West Brom at home. We always do well against Swansea and if Caroll is suspended for West Ham then we will get a point there.But I reckon that we will get maybe 9-10 more points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splutcho 173 Posted February 3, 2014 I see 8 winnable games and a couple where we may spring a shock, I also bet you £100 that we will win another game this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted February 3, 2014 The problem now is that 90% of us want Hughton out, whereas Palace, Sunderland fans etc are all behind the team and their new managers. And their places are rocking. We all just turn up ready to be bored of such dire negative football. A full carrow road where everyone is behind the players and managers playing attacking football is a great place to be. Not what carrow road has turned into now, and that is all hughtons doing. The sooner he has gone the better. I would genuinely take neil adams as our manager til end of the season now. Get everyone onside and all pulling in same direction.

The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted February 3, 2014 There are games we shouldnt lose there, but I agree, very few you would look at and say ''we''ll win that''. Mind you, I havent felt like we would expect to win any game for a long time. Stoke, Sunderland and West Borm are probably our best chances, but draws are far more likely. The board obviously have confidence though as he''s still here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warren Hill 0 Posted February 3, 2014 So if we had got Pulis in, everyone would be right behind him and the team? After all the sh*te spouted about our brand of football and dire, negative tactics under CH, forgive me if I find the suggestion both ridiculous and hilarious in equal measure.

Move Klose 303 Posted February 3, 2014 The difference is palace are in there 1st season back, we are in our 3rd, we wanna see a steady progression. Not saying wpuld want Pulis, didnt say that anywhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted February 3, 2014 Palace are behind their manager because he has moved them forward. We are not behind are manager, thats the point i was making Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The question is, will we win enough, and like many others, I look at the fixture list and not many jump out at me saying ''I''m a game where Norwich is likely to get 3 points''.

Crystal Canary 0 Posted February 3, 2014 Wouldn''t it be wonderful if we strung a few wins together and ended up finishing 10th. We''d be in exactly the same situation as the end of last season. Everyone moaning about how awful we are whilst we again finish the highest position in a generation! Please, please let this happen!

TCCANARY 263 Posted February 3, 2014 "Eadie4England" "The problem now is that 90% of us want Hughton out," I thought it was 80%, or when you say ''us'' is that a specific group of people that you''ve asked so that you could tell the rest of us the 90% figure.

It was NEVER about style, it''s always been about winning or more to the point, being bad losers. People were claiming they''d accept losing games if we played a better brand of football, showed attacking intent, now it doesn''t matter a jot and Pulis hoofball would be fine so long as we scrape a few wins... If we do scrape those wins, how long will it be before "style" rears it''s ugly head again? What do you think Reggie? If we stay up will we then be in a position that style matters again?

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted February 3, 2014 Swansea were woeful against Wet Spam on Saturday, and really look a team void of ideas, even the passing and the first touches were gone. I predict they along with Cardiff - who are by far the worst side we have played all season - are likely to be going down and then it''s a fight for the third place. who''s going to fill that is anybody''s guess.All the "Professional Pundits" had us down for a long hard season and so it is proving to be. we are a team that is fighting in the bottom half of the table just like Fulham, Hull etc. we have plenty of games to go and there will be twists and turns every week from now until May. I would also bet we don''t lose all our last 5 games like everybody is predicting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted February 3, 2014 Morning Wiz, looking at that, i still think we''ll stay up - we won''t win all the games that you''d expect us to win, but likewise we''ll take points from games you d have down for us to lose. Arsenal and Chelsea could also be ''on the beach'' by the time we play them, but irrespective of that, unlike many supporters i still always back our players to get results against the chequebook clubs - and do you know what, it''s not unusual for us to do exactly that...

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted February 3, 2014 I disagree, OP. We should win at least one more game, but I don''t think we will enough games to ensure safety, and that''s what really matters. We are going down I''m afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Yet again you''ve spectacularly missed the point, Warren. Yes, I am indeed saying that, at the moment style does not matter as much as gaining wins. And, I''m not ashamed to say it. We are in such a pickle that literally every point counts, regardless of the tactics used. I''lm astounded that you cannot see that.Of course it''s a results driven business, but under normal circumstances fans like to see a blend of results and style. The style takes second place right now.If (and it''s a big IF) we do stay up, then the summer will be the time to revisit the style/results debate, hopefully with a fresh set of eyes.

The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted February 3, 2014 More worryingly, if we decide to write the final 4 games off as has been said since the list came out, our final match of the season is Fulham away! Dont worry, we always do well there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
