Relegation 2022/23

[Runub]

Difficult first four fixtures for Dyche and he’s managed to take a bunch of total losers and make them fight for everything, winning 6 points from 12 and playing much better to watch football.

If we win every other game the rest of the season we get 21 points and finish on 42 which would easily see us safe.

Today looked like a disaster but all that happened is crap teams beat other crap teams so yes, Leeds winning was bad but Southampton losing was good and West Ham winning was bad but Forest getting a demoralising stuffing is good and drags them back into the mix.

If Bournemouth beat City that would be a bad result the way us beating Arsenal was terrible for everyone else.

It’d be a lot easier if we had a striker but I think Dyche can get us out of this.

Sensible post

You cant lose home games in our situation

We played well enough in defence and midfield to win today. That wasn't the issue - if it were any other year, I'd say we are fine if we play like that week in week out.

Our problem is we have absolutely no one who can score goals. And in our predicament, that's what we need. Can anyone actually see us ever scoring two goals in a game?

Not buying a striker has doomed us

Need 4 points from Forest and Brentford.

 

[Kev The Rat]

West Ham are safe, Wolves are safe. Forest are safe if they beat us. Leeds may well get a new manager bounce which could make them safe.

West Ham smashing forest is a good result. We need to beat forest now somehow.

I’d suggest that the fans go on strike, but the players wouldn’t understand what that means anyway.

We don’t have the goals in us to stay up.

I don't see how we can get any sort of result at Arsenal or Man U

But we can definitely get points agsint Chelsea and Spurs. Probably 4 max. 1 min

chelsea is away mate and they would of picked up form or will against us

It’s terrible that it’s come to this but you’re right. We just haven’t got the room to leave home games against a mid table side with no points.

This is it. Very little to suggest this group of players can go to Forest next week and get a result. Today is a huge set back and I worry it sets the tone for what's to come.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I feel less confident. We have no Richarlison to drag us over the line

I love Richy, still do tbh, but his best performance was the Burnley away that we went on to lose anyway!
I don’t know where the goals are coming from but we’re doing everything else better than we were last season

 

[matty1878]

We’re in a crap position but there’s no way you can feel as bad as after we lost at Burnley last year?
That’s the only time I thought we were done.

well ye mate i feel worse the gap will be to big the fixtures we have and we can’t score

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

chelsea is away mate and they would of picked up form or will against us

I hear you but we can nick a point there. they can't score either

But yeah, it's a tough ask

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Just got to keep fighting as best we can and hope someone around us combusts

If we do go down then we need to get Dyche what he needs for the promotion push

 

[Wat Tyler]

Thelwell and co have relegated us.

How he still has a job is staggering, but then I heard him saying Pickford signed a new deal because of Kenwright and it all made sense. The club is a cesspit.
