Relegation 2022/23

[ToffeeTim]

The bookies are anticipating a West Ham victory over Villa.

Check those odds out again tomorrow if they dont get it.

Big pressure on them tomorrow. Hopefully they feel like they need to force it and it leaves space for Villa on the break.

Yep. It is what it is thiugh. But the type of performances we've seen under Dyche will be stamped right through the rest of the season so we'll have our chances again.

Any team can beat any team in this league. I think this season it's about as 'flattened out' as its been for years. We have 11 games left and the temptation is to look at them and cherry pick for likely points. However, realistically we can get points from all 11. That's the nature of this season.

I can see us easily getting another 16 from the last 33 available. That'd put us on 41 points. I really do think we can get that, because now we have a team identity and a formula on how to set up and play...and with a settled team.

10 wins usually stays up, we have 6 - 3 under Dyche in the last 7.

Could have done with scoring those 3 chances in the first half for the goal difference!

The low scoring we've had is going to end soon. We're creating a lot of guilt edged chances and we'll start taking them.

I think we have the 4 wins at home tbh. I'd be surprised if we dont win at least 3 of the 5. That gets us 34 points and we'll add to them away from home. I'm sure of it.

We have a balance between defence and attack and a settled first team.

Villa are either very good or ropey.

Have you got next weeks lottery numbers Dave?

 

[Librarian]

West Hams odds I find incredible. And Leicester. They should both be shorter, and we should be longer. Think we end up that way before the next game.

If they don’t get anything tomorrow then they’re in big trouble looking at their run in and they have those extra Europa games as an additional burden

 

[Librarian]

We need to pick something up at Goodison v Spurs IMO. They will not be much tougher than Brentford today.

The two away games are likely write offs.

We were the better side away at Forest who have a strong home record. If we can stay in games, we can nick one or two surprises

 

[Saint Domingo]

Rodgers and Vieira both with absolute riches compared to Dyche are floundering. Dyche would probably saw his arm off for the options Moyes has in his team.

Maybe worth a consideration the next time anyone feels the urge to blast Dyche for not managing absolute perfection with this squad of players.

 

[Ruairi77]

Not going to start trusting a side whose one consistency is inconsistency. Nothing's changed, we're still in deep

Not sure we're that inconsistent.
We were better than Arsenal (H), leeds, Villa, Forest (maybe), Brentford. And we were holding our own till we conceded at Arsenal A and Liverpool.
We're 6th in the form table since Dyche took over, and with every game, there are signs that the process is coming together more and more.
We still are in deep crap but thanks to a bit of consistency, we have bought ourselves a glimmer of hope that we can get out.

This thread must comprise the the largest collection of miserable football fans ever witnessed in one place.

We could win the next 11 matches and most of you in here would still calculate the numbers to relegate us.

Get off the internet, go for a walk, spend quality time with family...just do something/anything not in here people.

 

[TraffordBlue]

Palace play
Leicester
Leeds
Southampton
Us
Wolves
West ham

I think they'll be ok.

As good and important today was, I think it will be 3 out of us, Leeds, Southampton, Bournemouth and forest.

Think the others are strong enough to put a run together.

How are teams like West Ham and Leicester strong? They're both terrible.

I'm looking at more than the last 6 games TBH; leopard, spots and all that.

I think people enjoy losses more in here, it's incredible

I'm not sure it's fair to judge Dyche's team on Lampard's results.
