10 Games In - Survival Poll

[ealingfox]

10 games is the first point some say you should start looking at the table. 

 

10 games, 10 points, -4 goal difference

 

15th place, minimum 4 points clear of the drop zone tonight

 

Do you think we'll survive?

If we get a new manager then yes 

[DennisNedry]

I think even with Cooper we stay up.

[Dahnsouff]

Not sure you are buying into the spirit of this poll @bmt  

[Ted Maul]

I actually think we will. We've got points on the boad and the squad is just about good enough (even if they don't look like they have a clue what they're supposed to be doing 90% of the time).

[honeybradger]

We haven't lost against any of Crystal Palace, Everton, Southampton or Ipswich which is the most important thing. We need to do the same in the second half of the season as well though.

[Fox92]

Yes I think we will.

 

We are better than Southampton and Ipswich. I think Wolves will go down with them both.

[ronnup]

A point a game keeps us up. Weve thrown 3 or 4 away too

[coolhandfox]

I think we need to strengthen in January, we need at least 1 fullback and a CF.

The bar this season seems like it might end up being quite low with Ipswich and Southampton being so shit and the likes of Wolves and Everton not looking a great deal better, but assuming the manager and team remains as it is, I would have to say no. I don't think you can stay up playing as badly as we do, over periods as long as we do, as often as we do.

[winteriscoming]

With Cooper no chance.

Agree. The current table evidences that.

[jayfox26]

I've said no but that is based on how long we keep Cooper. If he's gone before Christmas then we have enough time to hire a football manager rather than a pe teacher.

We've only really been 'done' this season by Forest. That's not unusual in the PL. But it just has to be them, doesn't it? 

 

 

[Pita]

It will be a struggle with cooper in charge his tactics leave a lot to be desired 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Yes.

 

There's some real dross this season, even drossier than us.

What about Arsenal hammering us. And Spurs should have also .

We have big opponents coming up. If we can pick up a few points from them would be a great help.

But we need to up our performances as a team.

Struggling to see which team drops instead of us

Ipswich, Saints, Palace, Wolves all worse than us. West Ham look poor. Everton dodgy af. Fulham no great shakes. Nor Brentford

[Nalis]

New manager - Yes

 

Cooper still in charge - No

[splinterdream]

Still too early to tell for me. Have we had a favourable fixture list so far this season? Our 2 next fixtures we expect 0 points, what will the table look like then? We looked utterly dreadful today, got lucky, we also lucked out against southampton, it took both of those teams to go to 10 men for us to get something from the games. You get the feeling Cooper doesn't know what to do, a bit like Pearson 14/15 when he was trying to drop on the right formula, the January window could be vital

West Ham are really dodgy. I don’t rate their manager at all and hasn’t he been sacked from a lot of his previous jobs? I think they could be sucked in more than what people think. 
 

I agree with those list of teams you’ve listed though. Although I think Fulham will be higher in the league.

[cityfanlee23]

I'm torn on this. I think we have enough to stay up, but I feel our chances will increase significantly if we bring in another manager, such as Roger Schmidt among a few others. 

I think keeping Cooper right now could very well bite us in the near future. Our next 8 games include United, Chelsea, Newcastle, Liverpool, Man City and Villa, we could very well be in big trouble by the new year if we don't improve our performances.

West Ham relying year after year after year on the same ol' players is a recipe for disaster. Exhibit A is us two years ago. All these players they sign and they still look to the Czech lad and Antonio

 

Wouldn't be surprised if Loputengi wheels Mark Noble out.
