Relegation 2022/23

Villa winning, that's them currently going above us.

It's close at the bottom this season, by the looks of it there are 8 or 9 teams who could go down. There's no reason to believe we won't be in the thick of it again.

I don't think we are going to be able to expect much from Dominic Calvert-Lewin now so a striker and winger in January is a must. It really is too soon to predict it. So, yeah in conclusion I have no clue if we'll stay up.

Without a striker and winger in January, I would say we certainly must be a likely candidate. We have no goals in this team.

We are 16th and will be bottom 3 next week if we lose

Agreed. We are likely to be at the wrong end of the table by April/May and we won't have Richarlison this time to count on.

Frank's side are deep in this mess , vital Newcastle help us today

 

[Runub]

Clutching at straws looking at past relegated teams the goal difference at the end of the season is typically about-20 or far worse. We are currently-3 with the current bottom three on -17, -14 and -20. So keep the defence solid for the remaining games and job done

I alway thought we would be between 12th and the drop. Never to big to go down. Villa, Leeds, Newcastle and West Ham all have on more than 1 occasion. Frank and Kev need to find 2 players who can bring goals and energy into the team. Who I don’t know but they are paid millions a year for that.

Hmmm maybe don’t lock this just yet.

Remember the time when a striker was the easiest position in the team to pick up?, now it's the hardest seems like most teams from across the 4 leagues are missing a decent one. You could pick them up from non league and they could still score at top level.Don't happen now which I suppose is down to fitness and a more continental style of play.

Yeah we seemed to have decent attackers in the past, but as you said it’s getting harder and harder.

Both Leicester, Villa and West Ham are in a false position based on the quality available to them. They are not our competition in this battle (competition listed below). Bournemouth game is now huge. If we win I hope we are not complacent in terms of looking to add a player in Jan.

Forest
wolves
Bournemouth
Leeds
Saints
Brentford

Here are the numbers on survival over the past 10 seasons: The lowest scoring team has been relegated all 10 years. The second lowest scoring team has been relegated 5 times out of 10. The 3rd lowest scoring team 6 out of 10. 11 goals in 14 games is in major danger territory.
