[Football] Newcastle - up the creek?

The Wizard · Feb 11, 2021

Callum Wilson out for 2 months
Schar and Manquillo out for 2-3 months

They are on the same points as us but they are heavily reliant on Wilson for goals, could give Fulham hope?

Schar's been their rock in defence too. If ASM is out for any more time they're really screwed

I thought Wilson wasn't having a great season but having a quick look at the stats he's scored 40% of their goals this season. That's crazy.

Think Saint-Maximin and Almiron hitting form might be enough to keep them above Fulham but they are absolutely in trouble.

The only team that could give Fulham hope is Fulham, and with 12 straight games without a win its not looking good.

Is Saint Maximan decent? He seems to have passed me by and the only time i have seen him play was at the Amex where he looked shit, got given the run around by one of our players and then just gave up and asked to come off.

They are f***ed without Wilson.

His goals have earned them an astonishing 17 points from their 25. That’s 7 matches where he has made the difference scoring a goal to draw or scoring the winner.

Great news for the bottom 3 and more proof that we are not going down.

To be honest l almost think that Sheffield United have as much hope of avoiding the drop than Fulham do, at least they are a team on the up and in some sort of form and are actually startting to win a few games. At this stage of the season turning draws into wins is an absolute priority if you are in a relegation position.

Andy Carroll will ride to their rescue. :nono:

You just have to look at the respective odds for relegation to know that they could be in for a tough 3 months:

Brighton - 28/1
Newcastle - 7/2

Quite a difference for 2 teams both on the same points and games played!

Braggfan · Feb 11, 2021

A mate of mine who's a Newcastle fan has been saying for ages they'd be in trouble if Wilson got injured. They do have a couple of other's in form at the moment, but it could be a real hammer blow.

I actually want Fulham to be winning games now. Sending down Newcastle would be hilarious

Bruce described him as "their Grealish" so I guess he's pretty important to their survival if he's that good. Their results have picked up since he's come back from injury.

Seem to recall he got well and truly LAMPTEYED in the fixture at Toon.

He can be, especially going forward but Potter worked out all his weaknesses up there (it helped that Tariq was fit, it would have been harder without pace). However, doesn't track back and had a horrible bout of Long Covid.

He's a BEAST on FIFA though.

After Everton away this weekend, Fulham have got Burnley, Sheff Yoo and P*l*ce, then Liverpool and Man City. If they can reduce the gap, they've got Toon on the last day.

I reckon the gulf in quality is too big for any of them to escape but t'Blades have got a kind-looking last couple of months on the list.

So Fulham's plan has got to be, to get within 3 points of Newcastle before the final day. You'd think if they close the points gap, the GD will be better than Newcastle, so 3 behind would be fine. Then one massive show down to stay up. Might be a decent end to the season after all ... As long we are nowhere near it that's fine by me

Lascelles is also a big miss for them, he's been out the last month or two with a combination of covid and a hammy.

Weststander · Feb 11, 2021

I hope we finish higher, obviously.

But I’d hate FatSam’s WBA to survive, so I want Bruce to engineer a few more wins.

Frankworthington · Feb 11, 2021

What about their £40 million striker Joelinton? Shirley he can step up to the plate?

Sheff Utd, WBA and Newcastle dropping would be fine with me
