Relegation 2022/23

[good times bad times]

I think you are right. Still loads of games left and unexpected points will be won and lost by loads of teams. However, a loss to Forest next week will put them 7 points clear and that will hurt (on the assumption we get nothing on Wednesday).

Seriously can't afford to lose there when you look at our next few fixtures.

Would you take it now if it went to the last game of the season beating bournemouth guaranteed survival?

100%

I would, ive been thinking all ways about that game for a while that we are either both down, or we need to win to stay up, or we need to win and hope other results go for us lol

wish that was real

The facts of 6 points from 12 from probably equally difficult matches don’t back you up but yeah you’re right, you said max in your opinion.
I think we could get more with a bit of luck and some big performances from the likes of Onana.

I’d be ecstatic with 6 from next 4

Bournemouth taking a bumming currently.

We’d all take that I’m sure

I don’t think Forest, Wolves, West Ham or even Palace are out of the question to be honest.
There’s often a team who goes on a terrible run second half of the season and drops into trouble.

They all have better squads and goal threats.

Southampton and Bournemouth are gone purely down to experience. Leeds will be the ones we have to out do IMO.

We didn't sign any players in January. The club has been run like a total and utter circus for years, and the chickens are firmly coming home to roost now.

There was a lot of factors behind our impending demise, but a curse was placed on this club the day we hired Benitez as manager

As they said in that episode of Father Ted, is there anything to be said for saying another mass? Our relegation if it does happen will have been well earned and well deserved imo.

 

[Roachey11]

There was an air of resignation about that today. Comfortably beaten in the end at home against a very average mid table team. Really doesn't bode well. We can barely create a chance let alone score a goal.

Other than the odd season or two here and there, it’s been that way for a generation

For a time we had Arteta, Pienaar, Baines, Osman (even if he was weak as piss). Guys with football ability. Now our big star is...?

Obviously ever team has a better attack than us but I’m not sure Forest have a better squad than us or even Wolves, Palace or West Ham overall to be honest, I bet if we went on their forums after a defeat they’d say they’re all crap.

What I do think we have is the right manager for the situation at least.

 

[Willie Thorne]

We ain't going down. We're crap yes, but there are 3 worse teams than us.

We’ve had good times

We must be in the same cement, as we’re on the same points as Bournemouth.

We're right in it. There is no way of avoiding that conclusion.

But our performances in 3 of the 4 games Dyche has been in charge have been very competitive and we're carving out opportunities.

If we keep doing that we'll be a very hard proposition for the others down there to keep in a relegation spot.
