Relegation 2022/23

That'll do.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Tells you the importance of a good start. We started the season as we are ending it, zero strikers

We started the season with an all time bad manager and ending it with an average one more importantly

 

[barneygumble]

Im still going to be the negative Nelly and say that all the teams below us bar Southampton still have a game in hand. So we are pretty much in the same position. Very precarious

Like the negativity, don’t want to get too carried away myself.

Bournemouth Vs. Brighton - Brighton, probably better away than at home, not sure why, mind.
Leeds Vs. Forest - someone is dropping points
Leicester Vs. Villa - who knows what side turns up
West Ham Vs. Newcastle

None of them are games I’d feel confident in, if I was one of our rivals. There’s a much better chance that we could finish this weekend still outside the relegation zone, with one of our harder games out of the way.

 

[knowing your history]

Cant see Southampton getting anything from their next 3 games before they meet Palace.

Spurs H
W Ham A
City H
Palace H

Could be curtains

I think they could win at West Ham personally if Moyes is still there.

Think Selles messed around too much with the team, likes of Elyonoussi and Diallo are pretty terrible so they won't be starting v Spurs.

Good results for us tonight. We just need to keep picking up the points, which look much more likely under Dyche. See how we get on at Chelsea.

 

[allen]

27 from 27 so point a game so should be manageable in theory. 10 more points would almost certainly be enough

I make it 8 points from 13 games since the World Cup. Plus an FA Cup defeat.

That’s badly degraded form from 19 points from 14 games before the World Cup.

They are in massive trouble.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Excellent set of results

 

[davek]

Good results but long way to go

Yes.

However, that's two more with the same games played and no further forward.

 

[blulouie]

They are on an awful run, and you have to win your home games against non top 6 opponents. They are running out of games.

Still any 3 from 9 going down , back to back wins ( hopefully us ) at some point would ease it a bit for any of those teams.
Far too tight down there atm.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Yes.

However, that's two more with the same games played and no further forward.

Every loss for a rival is a positive but there are lots of twists and turns left.

Every loss for a rival is a positive but there are lots of twists and turns left.

I just said that.

 

[PITA]

Southampton almost down, and Palace in serious, serious trouble.

They're 3 points off staying up. Nothing has been decided yet.

 

[davek]

Us under Dyche: a realistic plan, picking up points steadily and developing an identity.

 

[PeregrineT]

Good results. Still crazy at the bottom trying to figure it out, so just win games. We could end the weekend in the relegation zone, AND 2 points from 13th, and everyone else is about in the same spot.

 

[barneygumble]

You can’t predict the end of season.

Mad things happen when teams are scrambling for their lives, see us versus Chelsea, United and then away at Leicester last season.

We just need to do our thing; but with ever rival defeat, the need for us gets lesser. The way Dyche has us playing just gives me that little bit of hope. Long way to go.
