Relegation 2022/23

[Colonel Getafe]

I think we can throw City at home, Man United, Chelsea and Brighton away as games we ain't getting any points in, the rest are up for grabs.

Perhaps the thinking that a club with "NSNO" as it's motto can pick and choose which games are ok to throw away is a bit of a factor in why we are currently a country mile behind the likes of Brighton and Brentford, and why we have been in a relegation battle for the second year running...

Good news if so.

Assuming no appeal, its a 4 game ban for his second straight red card of the season. We would be game 4 of that suspension

"one game at a time" applying for half the teams in the league...going to be a spicy spring.

….watched the 2nd half of Utd v Soton.

Soton such a contrast to us. They have quality to keep possession, get full backs up the pitch and create. 17 shots at OT, certainly deserved at least a point. We are all blood and snot, can’t help think we’d have parked the bus and died for the cause, even against 10 men.

A better team than us but it’s about accumulating points.

And possibly drawn 0-0 too

What would the narrative be if we’d failed to beat or score against 10-man for an hour opposition?

Same as Southampton. A decent point away at a top 4 team

Ok, so if he appeals and loses he gets the 3rd game of his ban against us?

Is Casemiro out of our match with United?

Believe so, Dave

Have they a cup game before us ?

Not sure if you can delay a ban by appealing tbh.

I dont see them overturning the decision. I think its a red by the letter of the law so I expect it to be 4 matches

Does the Cup game count as one?

 

[CalBuckeye_Rob]

The main reason I think 37 or so rather than 40 is because there are so many head to heads left between the sides in our mini league of 9 teams.

And when we all play each other then points are dropped by someone or both teams. The more teams involved for as long as possible, the better our chances.

That feels correct. The big group at the bottom is going to make it hard for 17 teams to get too much beyond 35. But it would be nice to pick up a road win.

United v Everton: that'll be the 3rd game in 8 days United will have played when they face us.

They play on the 2nd, 5th and then us on the 8th of April.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Have they a cup game before us ?

Yes on Saturday. Then 2 league games then us.

If its a 4 match ban as expected, he's suspended against us and uts the final game of his ban.
