That's the decision Jenkins and the board have to make,next season's pot of gold or the threat of relegation becoming a reality.

How many points from safety are we now? I'm too lethargic to look at the table. |  |

Poor summer signings with the exception of Ayew. We have lost our identity with our style of play. Too many players under performing. Questions have to be asked why. |  |

Does it matter at this stage of the season? Or do you think we can hold on with what we've got? 
Anyway, it's 5. Could be 2 if we lose next week. |  |

Do you think so..... So you don't think we are in with a big chance of being relegated?
I'd be very interested to know your reasons why.....seriously |  |

Not a big chance at all, yes we are in a bad run, but I think we are easily capable of averaging a point a game, the only slight worry I have is there seems to be some disharmony in the squad which needs nipping in the bud | |

1 win in 8. No shots are target today. We lost to team who are favourites for relegation. We have every right to be concerned. | |

Fair comment....but it's my opinion (and only my opinion) that it's a bit more than disharmony in the squad.
I sincerely hope you're right, and I'm just overreacting after a couple of horrible performances. | |

of course 1 win in nine is concern, but reading this board tonight we are already relegated, a gross overreaction, bump this thread again in January | |

At present we are showing relegation form. 1 win in 9 is not good enough. I am not saying we will be relegated but our performances must improve. Anybody in this league can be relegated and the last thing we want is to be in a relegation fight with other potential teams. Yes its only November, but the alarm bell are already ringing. | |

The performances are a bigger concern than the results of late. |  |

What I really cant understand tonight is how we let them score. Yes we looked like at that time the only team of picking up 3 points - however with so much at stake - not losing too Norwich was so important. We should have been defending for our lives - to ensure Norwich could not close the gap on us. It didn't matter about winning - it mattered that there was no chance that they could get 3 points - given where they were pre match compared to us.
That is what i cannot understand giving away such a soft goal.
Imagine Tony Pulls or Sm Allardyce managing us in in today's situation. They would have 10 players behind the ball.
What the feck we're we doing? | | | |

Completely agree. No shots on target today. That is unacceptable. It makes you wonder what James Beattie actually does during training sessions. | |

Heh heh! You didn't fool me. But there will be a few who think your being serious i'm sure. Just bide your time. | |

If I was a shareholder tonight I would be very very nervous.. Each of those shareholders (not taking into account the Trust) have £5m to £20m at stake - they must be getting very twitchy.
Yes on reflection it looks like we have tried to do this season on the cheap - which is ultimately there issue as it is their money at stake.
Gomis scoring record has been a worry since he joined us - his best scoring threat is from headers - he is not good on 1:1 situations, nor high goal to chances conversion ratio and does not have a good shot. (bar Man City at Home last season - but that is a lot of games in between). His scoring run at the beginning of the season glossed over underlying problem - yet that also included a penalty.
So not investing in an adequate back up striker could really haunt us. £5m on Eder?
Stoke invested about £30m net - this could really come back to bite us.
Both teams very poor today and no-one looked liked scoring. Eder must be cr?p for Monk not to start hime given Gomis' form.
We didn't create anything significant today which is a big worry - especially given Norwich are relatively poor defensively at this level.
For me Villa are dead certs to go down - however then given current form between us, Sunderland, Bournemouth and Norwich. I think Newcastle are improving but we are going backwards. We really need to change downward momentum very quickly. | | | |

Bournemouth looked a billion times better than Newcastle today. Nine times out of ten they winthat game easily. I don't think they'll go down (I don't think we will either). On the other hand you are spot on re Narch. Not kept a clean sheet all season according to the commentators..well not until today anyway. |  |

That's why Monk convinced Jenkins and co to get rid of Laudrup for that very reason.
Ironic as feck |  |

I think Allardyce would have got his shotgun out in the dressing room at half time. And quite rightly too. | |

I remember last season when Ki scored a lucky deflected goal away to Hull and they had nothing. I said to myself they will probably go down as couldn't recall a home PL side not being able to put any pressure on us when they were a goal down.
This season we have turned into Hull. Stoke Home, Villa away (bar Siggy wonder free-kick), today's performance.
What is even more worrying is that when we do play ok we then give soft goals away - Fabianski has a nightmare against Spurs with his positioning from those two Eriksen free kicks., Ash gives away such a soft goal last week missing header against Arsenal.
I think some of the problem has come from Ash and Taylor giving so much Internationally to get Wales through to Euro championships - which meant we weren't 100% up for Watford away and Stoke at home - which were very big games for us in hindsight.
You just get the impression they have proved themselves in the PL so are not motivated by PL anymore -their focus now is taking Wales as far as they can in the upcoming Euros.
Ash and Taylor should be having a rest to freshen up during upcoming friendly international. I really think they need a break. Ash will be the driving force behind whether we stay up or not.
This season is so big for us with TV rights going up so much - which could then put us in a very strong position for seasons to come, | | | |
