Relegation 2022/23

[SingBlue]

The going down actually kills me, but what makes it worse is the shear joy and gloating from our loveable neighbours and the fact we're gonna have the best stadium in the country watching championship football.

Er, if we go down this season, it means our last season at Goodison will be watching Championship football. If the club implodes, our first season in BMD could well be in League 1.

People are saying here we'll get 3 points against Brentford, they are conveniently forgetting that Brentford area fine team with a top manager who recently won away at Manchester City.

A top manager who lost 8 of his first 10 games at Brentford. Imagine he’d done that here. Sometimes it takes time to improve things. Dyche has had 5 games.

It's all opinions. After Southampton beat us you had them goin unbeaten for their next 6. That worked out well.

Personally think we were done after the Villa game.

Can't drop points at home. If we'd have won against Villa I'd have been confident of us just grinding results out, there would be less pressure and we'd been level with Wolves and Leicester points wise.

We can't score. It's the board and DoFs fault that's relegated us...not Dyche or Lampard

That is like other teams fearing us because we beat Arsenal a couple of weeks ago.

Problem is teams now know we possess no threat which means they can commit more players forward without fear of reprisal.

It’s a concerning predicament but people need to try and stay calm. We are not cut adrift (yet)

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Not sure what everyone is worried about - just renewed my season ticket (i know) and one of my auto cup renewal scheme options was for european competitions - clubs nothing if not optimistic!

Hi Bill. you back again.

 

[Neiler]

13 games left, its in our own hands, we will have to prove we are good enough or not - thus far the table doesn't lie.

 

[Sharpies volley]

Who tf is arsed what the Kult think?

Realistically no I don't care but what does wind me up is the little snidey comments and jokes and the fact they'll have yet another laugh on us. Been getting it for 50 years constantly. Thought as I got older it wouldn't get to me but I was wrong.

Across the last 15 years, the average number of points required to stay up is 35.

The lowest number of points required to stay up was 29 in 2020/21

The highest number of points required to stay up was 40 in 2010/11

Assuming we need another 14 points from our next 13 games, where are they coming from?

Forest (A) - 1
Brentford (H) - 3
Chelsea (A) - 0
Spurs (H) - 0
Man Utd (A) - 0
Fulham (H) - 3
Palace (A) - 1
Newcastle (H) - 1
Leicester (A) - 1
Brighton (A) - 0
Man City (H) - 0
Wolves (A) - 1
Bournemouth (H) - 3

Those results would, based on previous seasons, see us safe.

See if you do this for other clubs down there its quite interesting, lets look at Leeds

Chelsea A
Brighton H
Wolves A
Arsenal A
Forest H
Palace H
Liverpool H
Fulham A
Leicester H
Bournmouth A
Man City A
Newcastle H
West Ham A
Spurs H

I dont see them getting more points then us, they coulld easily come in sub 35 points this season, that run in is a nightmare with 3 top 4 chasers

 

[Bluerover]

Oh to be in 1954 - we came back up and they finished bottom of Div 1.

Unfortunately it isn’t because everyone around us has a game in hand and the only ones we have left to play are Wolves and Bournemouth. So it’s very much not in our hands.

 

[barneygumble]

As long as we don't concede the first goal, we might scrape a draw.

We were relegated when we let Richarlison go.

We’ll obviously that’s not the case as under Dyche, when we haven’t conceded first, we’ve won, so I’m not buying the negativity.

The only result I’m gutted by was the Villa one. The Arsenal result should force Dyyche’s hand, and hopefully give Gray a chance or even bring Simms in for a 4-4-2

TBH i firmly believe this will happen, we are nowhere near rock bottom yet.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

As a fan base we have to try and make Goodison the bear pit and hope that helps somewhat. Ultimately it's down to the players and manager to find a way to win, even though the board has made it as difficult as possible

We have every chance mate, its in our own hands!
