Relegation 2022/23

[Tony’s Carp]

Or maybe we could stop buying expensive players from relegated clubs and then acting affronted that we’re once again fighting relegation??

There are no truly terrible squads in the league this year so there are going to be very good players who get relegated no matter who goes down.

I agree. But you look through their team and it is pretty average. Probably just enough, but they shouldn't be complacent.

Average is more than enough to stay up.

Reckon most managers would prefer their squad to ours right now.

There’s only one team in the league who I’d say is already safe and that is Leeds.

I'd be worried as a West Ham fan. Whenever there is a focus on a David Moyes team, he manages to come up short.

3 points on Leeds, West Ham, Wolves and Leicester.
2 points on Forest and Palace.

I know people are going on about Southampton and Bournemouth winning, but surely this hasn't been a bad weekend.

And Bournemouth beating Wolves is arguably a good thing too as Wolves are still in with a tough run coming up. A very satisfactory weekend.

That's really not true. Dyche was in the frame forever. The majority of the fanbase accepted a change was required as soon as we got hammered at home to Brighton. Many had accepted it after the Wolves game.

I think a fair chunk of the fanbase wanted the change after the Bournemouth double battering..... I certainly was, and I was getting told "Wait till the window when we get a striker" and "No other manager could do anything with this squad", they know who they are...

Best squad in the league. They are going to batter us yesterday.

I can think of one terrible squad

I'd prefer their squad to ours. Between Bowen, Ings and a few others they've probably got enough goals in them. It's just taking them/moyes a long time sort it out.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

We've got the actual weakest squad in the league if you just look at the options the teams in an around us have got...Our biggest asset is probably the manager.

If he can guide us to safety it will be a bigger achievement than Lampard's last season due to tools at his disposal.

 

[Nymzee]

Good day for us.

A very misunderstood team

They've got bags full them...players to come back aswell...whether it Moyes or someone else I think they will be fine come the end of the season.

 

[catcherintherye]

Good day for us.

West Ham are on a really bad run. I didnt realise quite how bad it has been.

Them, Leeds, Southampton and Bournemouth are on large sort of run we were on under Benitez last year, and it's really hard to turn around, as we saw.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Benitez nailed on I reckon.

Hope not, WHU have some decent players - give them a CL winning manager and I think they'll shoot up the table.
