3 worst teams?

We look pretty crap this season but fortunately there are still a few teams that are trying to be crapper than us.

Huddersfield, Cardiff,Newcastle and Fulham currently look worse than us. I am hoping that none of these teams have a good run in the next 3 games, that said by some miracle we could lose the next 3 and still be out of the relegation zone.

Out of those teams I would have to say that Fulham and Newcastle may turn their fortune round.

What does everyone else think? Yes, it's early to be looking down the table but 10 games in is often a good indication to how the season should pan out.

I should hope that we can finish comfortably ahead of Huddersfield and Cardiff. Fulham need to sort out their defence but they have good attacking players. Southampton are a pretty medicore team but should be able to scrape survival. Newcastle should survive if Ashley decides to invest in January, but they're in trouble currently.

I'm very concerned about us, but right now you'd put money on Cardiff, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Fulham to be relegated rather than us. If we get one of our strikers up and firing (not likely) or buy a goalscorer in January (even less likely) we'll be perfectly fine, but as it is we should be able to scrape survival ahead of some underwhelming opposition.

I believe we will stay up but I think we will limp over the finish line and only finish a couple of points better off than the three that go. That is my opinion. I will be shocked if we spend a penny more than we make in outgoing transfers in January. And this is why I expect Roy to quit next summer.

I think it will be the lowest points ever for staying up cant see Cardiff, Huddersfield, Fulham or Newcastle getting 25 points

Newcastle will buy in January with the purpose of staying up. Ashley won't want the value to drop if he still wants to sell.

Fulham will improve defensively and they already have good scoring options.

Huddersfield and Cardiff look unlikely to improve but we can't rely on that.

We have big problems scoring and that has been the case for well over a season now.

We can't keep saying that there are enough teams worse than us so we'll be ok. If we do we may be sleep walking to relegation.

I'm worried that we're cut adrift from the top half by 7 points already.

I do agree that there do appear to be worse teams. Fulham may have Mitrovic but their defence is hopeless. Ings looks like Benteke at the moment, can't score.

There is hope

WE ARE GOING DOWN THIS SEASON!! No goals equals no points! Can anyone see where goals are coming from? Certainly not Benteke or Sorloth!!

Be more generous and say 30 points. Cardiff look like a Championship squad, Fulhams defence doesn't look up to it and has to be strengthened in Jan or a new manager for them to sort it out which won't happen overnight, Newcastle ongoing problems on and off the pitch, the Udders nothing up front like us. Throw in Soton there as well as they are spluttering at the moment.

Moving into sacking season now. Think Fulham will move first, then transfers in Jan.

Fulham have a long way to go to turn it around. Dreadful team with a sieve of a defence.

I think Swansea is worst, then Fulham.

At the moment, I think we're comparable to Newcastle, Southampton, and even Huddersfield. I don't see Newcastle going down. We'll be battling S'ton and Huddersfield.

We've scored 5 goals so far FFS, how good are we? And after the next 4 games we will almost certainly be in the relegation zone, possibly even 20th.

If Wilf gets hurt this season, which happens often, I'm not sure we could get a result against Swansea.

We've been very lucky so far with the results from other bad teams. They lose to mid-table teams, and draw against each other.

I'm sorry, but I really don't see any silver linings in our current squad. Our starting 11 is worse than last year, and it came down to the second to last game then.

I don't think we'll be relegated, but I can easily see this season go straight into the toilet too.

You mean Cardiff ... the Swans went down last year. If we don't start putting away some goals and racking up some points then we'll be joining them.

Of the OP list of worse teams it should be noted that we have beaten both Fulham and Huddersfield already this season. Anyone who had watched those 2 games would know in each case we were extremely lucky to do so.
Until we find someone who can score goals these teams are undoubtedly our peer group

We should stay up. I think we are very close to being decent, fine margins and all that.

Sunday was a really good performance and I think confidence in the team should be on the up.

As we all know goals is the issue but we have been in worse spots than this.

Its just gutting that coming into the season on the back of performances in the spring we all hoped for more than just staying up.

For every game we've supposedly been lucky, there is one where we've been unlucky. But you're right, those teams will definitely be the ones we're battling come spring.

They have fielded 12 different back fours and made 68 team changes.Think they have spent nearly £100 Mill in pre-season transfers.Next game - Away to Huddersfield.

 
Ginger Pubic Wig Flag Wickham de L'Ouest 30 Oct 18 2.47pm

Sunday really told me that our newer players hadn't previously gelled/performed. On Sunday they showed a lot more of what they're about, individually and in terms of what they brought to the team's collective performance. If that wasn't a one off, if there's more to come from them, then we are going to drift up the table. We also need just a little bit more from Meyer. If we get it, then the bottom three won't be a talking point for us.

 

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

matthau Flag South Croydon 30 Oct 18 3.33pm

What you have to remember too is, against Arsenal we matched them, played good football, it wasn’t kick and rush or counter attacking, certainly wasn’t even us having to put muscle them to compete, we matched them not far off with technical ability. Obviously we are no where near their standard but the distance between us compared to them or Huddersfield compared to them is far far less.

We just need a good striker, to get Roy to understand earlier subs is a good thing, and to not have to rely on wilf quite as much (in other words this new striker has to be the dogs bollox) and we’ll be where we all thought we’d be at the start of the season, just behind Everton in standard.

Newcastle - can’t buy a goal.
Huddersfield - lack of quality.
Cardiff - Colin.
