The confidence after the points deduction baffled me.

Sure, we've had a great 6/7 weeks but we've been crap 3 years before that. If we repeat our average points per game the last 3 years we go down.

We've got a big fight on our hands. A iffy run of games until the new year ahead will be telling - don't underestimate the impact of pressure. If we are bottom 4 come Jan, it'll be a fight until May IMO.

Agree is tough can get results like this today and has given all the teams confidnce that they have another chance
 

Ironically that's probably the best result out there today.

Good win for Luton of course but they have Man. City and Arsenal as their next two home games.

Burnley or Sheffield United getting a win would've been huge for them as they have kinder fixture lists.

Watched second half of Burnley and they are useless defending crosses so need to make sure DCL and Doucoure are around for the game there in a few weeks as can bully them from set pieces.

It would be pessimistic, but very possible we could have 5 points after playing 16 games. Thats more pressure than we have faced before. No one is surviving that imho. It’s not knee jerking after one Luton win.

For all the countrywide outrage, that appeal needs to amount to something.

Feels like the pressure has eased though this season compared to other seasons, I think the players will feel confident.

Not sure mate. We couldnt cope with the pressure/expectation to win Vs Fulham, Luton, Wolves at Goodison. We've still had a poor start, results wise.

Sure we started to turn it around, but the pressure/demand to win in a relegation scrap presents a bigger challenge I think is underestimated.

Agree as Palace are gash. Useful to bring them into a dogfight.

They're not great but 15 points already is a decent buffer, Olise looked good today so he'll take over the creative void if Eze is out again for a spell.

Forest lost at home today for first time in ages so next week becomes more winnable, need to be taking 4 points from the next two really.

It won’t be easy as it stands, but I think we’ll get at least 5 points back on appeal.
