Relegation 2022/23

[mikel_88]

There are more average teams than usual this season. But the worst teams are also better than in previous years. This is going to stay tight till well into the spring.

We need to keep taking it game by game and get more points on the board by the WC.

Agree still good point from today thats what it is about not getting beat in away games. Winning at homw

Yep

I know its an old cliche, but win at home and draw away and you'll be ok.

Leicester are looking much more organised now but its a good chance for us to get a result at home.

A proper forward in this team and we'd be top 8.

It's a terrible league but if you have no forward to get you goals you'll struggle.

The transfer window opens after 4 more games

Then we need to have one lined up for Jan 1st.

We are strong enough to muddle to mid table this season but do expect both Gordon and DCL to be cashed in for a more consistent front line.

*Edit build a team around DCL if can stay fit.

For me Gordon needs a striker who can take on the responsibility to pull defenders away and allow him to do a lot more on the ball.

No way should we be letting Gordon go.

He was poor tonight Dave.

If we can get top dollar for him then it must be considered.

I disagree. He's young and other clubs want him because they have better players up front who can use his skills. You dont throw the kettle out because there's a power cut do you?

No but the said kettle isn’t boiling up £60m cups of tea when needed. We needs results now, not flashes of potential.

Let's see what happens in January if they bring a new striker in.

Last season him and Richarlison were running opponents ragged in all the key games we won to get safe.

This feller DCL is atrocious. He's as bad as they get.

Two more attacking players in and we are in Europe. The job done by Lampard is notable. We are hard to beat now.

We will struggle to get a 9 as good as DCL and that is why it will be Gordon sacrificed first.

What did gordon do last season yes worked hard was not even close to richarlisons level. Dom did not have a good game this week but against palace was great. Held the ball up linked the play and his goal. Do agree that we need antoher striker who can work the line, but i see us needing a quality wide player none we have at the club can step up enough. I am just not sold on gordon just see him as a similar player to gray

 

[knowing your history]

Leeds winning could give them a boost!

Incredible win for them. Bournemouth at home next so big chance to get into the mid table group.

Very little in the league this season below 7th (and that includes the other lot across Stanley Park).

 

[GoldenToffee]

Still very much in the relegation mix and wouldn't be surprised if an improving Leicester do us next weekend.
