    After 68 minutes at Bournemouth, it was 0-2 to us. We draw 2-2.
    After 90 minutes at Brighton, it was 0-1 to us. We draw 1-1.
    After 45 minutes against Villa, it was 2-1 to us. We lose 2-3.
    After 85 minutes v Fulham, it was 0-0. We lose 0-1.

    8 additional points. We are not capable of capitalising in the crucial moments of games that enable us to get the much needed results that pull us out of the bottom three. That points to mentality, fitness & squad depth (subs). Nuno can only change one/two of those.
    That's what makes me not lose hope just yet as under Potter we would never have got in those positions. Next three games are huge 7 points needed 6 minimum.

    C&B, you're probably in the majority regarding Nuno.
    He's picked up a squad, not of his own making, that has been criticised for the past 2 years and has improved it. We're still struggling for sure but, depending on the support he gets in January, all is not lost.

    I know this may not be a popular opinion but I am still in the Nuno camp. I think he has done really well with some pretty poor inherited players and barely any bench to call on.
    I do think he has eccentricities, I agree he has a blind spot regard Paqueta (maybe he thinks he is this seasons Tevez and wants to keep him on side) but I feel he is organising and getting more from them than his predecessors.

    The main reason is aside from City no one has been really bettering us, where as before everyone was. Fulham was a error by Scarles which was punished and we did have a chance or two to win it despite being without two very influential full backs.

    We may go down, and although I am not usually one to get involved with superstition I do wonder if everything is conspiring to send us down as we lose or African players just when we are looking better and to the six point matches, but if we do I don't think it will be down to Nuno but whoever hired Lopetgui and his wasting of our money.

    Nuno has nailed his flag on the Paqueta mast which makes him reluctant to drop him or hook him.
    Paqueta needs dropping.
    He needs selling.

  • January Transfer speculation, (it will be here before you know it)

    Why would anyone want to join us?

    Adama Traore is about the best we can do, but we need a centre back & a striker at the least, not depth options but starters..... good luck

    Sullivan hasn't been reluctant to spend. ( Within the constraints of FFP rules, and obvs not having unlimited oil state funds). But the money has seldom been spent wisely. Whether that's DS, a manager or a Steiden.....

    And January is a bad time time to buy.

    Best thing we did was Lingard. And that's a rare event.
    Well, he's often reluctant to spend in January unless we're in trouble, but unfortunately the rest of what you say is true.

    The one thing still in our favour is that we've yet to play Wolves, whereas the other teams around us have. If, and I know it's a big if, we win that then suddenly we're possibly 2 points behind Forest who we then play at home on 6th Jan, so potentially we could be above them even if we don't get anything from the Brighton game.

    I know I'm clutching at straws, but with 2 very winnable games coming up it's too soon for me to give up all hope just yet, despite how down I'm feeling after today's game. I do also think Sullivan will make a serious effort to sign a couple of players as relegation hits his pocket the hardest (always a silver lining).

    Forest have turned a corner, we are already 5 points off them... not sure where those 5 points are coming back from, Leeds also showing lots of fight and Bournemouth got a huge result today...9 points ahead

    Feels like final nail in the coffin

    I worry this club wont survive the championship in this stadium

    Happy holidays
