What chance Relegation?
|
|
Was reading ESPN and they did a poll of there footballer writers for the season, of the 18 who gave there predictions, 3 had us down to be relegated...WTF!
TBH, given our new signings and the squad we already had and compared to the quality and depth of several other clubs, i was quite surprised by this, either they have an irrational hatred for us or they are no nothing cunts...............or is it a fair prediction?
I may be biased but top 10, all be it just sneaking in, is more rational surely?

Personally I think it would do the players good to be rock bottom after 3 away games. Give them something to fight for, and no more Billy Big Bollox. Can't say the fans will be delighted.

About 5%
every team between 8th and 17th either won 12 or 11 games
So as long as we win 13 games..

None whatsoever, too much shit in the league this season for us to get sucked into it.
Huddersfield, Brighton and Swansea to go this season.

So long as we don't have double-figures in the injury room for most of the season, I have a sneaking suspicion that we'll finish 6th-8th this season.
OK. We're West Ham, so most likely either one place short of Europe, or Europe if it means a pre-season humiliation in an early qualifying round to some otherwise obscure club

every chance if we defend as badly next season.
Hernandez & Arnie make a big difference at the other end though. we actually have players who will commit defenders, or threaten to run in behind.
makes a big difference to how far up the pitch the oppo centre backs are willing to press.

You only have to look at the players that Roeder had at his disposal when he got us relegated, to realise that anything's possible
I don't think we'll get relegated even though I expect a shaky start with all the away games, the early season injuries & the alarming lack of organisation & fitness shown in the pre-season games

If we go out on the pitch with a billy big bollox we are the classier team attitude, like we did against Watford at home last year, then we will soon be down among the stragglers. The fact is any team can go down and it is up to the manager and players to maximise the team's abilities. We will come up against some teams, who we will be better than on a man for man basis, but they will be battling as underdogs and produce performances greater than the sum of their parts.
We will not go down but we need to be well up for the weekly battles from the off.

Not being all West Ham claret tinted specs and all that but any person that has us, at this point, down for relegation is an absolute utter fucking retard.

Without doubt, we are the games undisputed past-masters at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, so, as has been pointed out, we can't actually dismiss the possibility until the last final whistle of the last game...and even then until the following season's fixture list is confirmed.

Always a possibility. Not huge, but there's always the west ham fuck it up possibility

Anything is possible with West Ham but as said there are plenty of other clubs with a lot more to worry about.
Huddersfield, Brighton & Newcastle need to do more ..:: Burnley appear to have sold their two best players (Keane & Gray) without bringing much in and Swansea seem resigned to losing Sigurdssen and maybe Llorente.
