Relegation 23/24 Thread

As I said last week, the complacency about our position will be put into stark relief if one single relegation rival goes on a run. Today, that was Luton and we are now half our points penalty from safety.

A defeat tomorrow will give us plenty to do.

Fully think we are down unless we get that deduction reduced.

It's not even December yet lads

I think they will have had a lot of meetings, possibly even with a sports psychologist and the players will be quite fired up for these next few games. The league is still fairly tight and all it takes is a couple of good games and we will be up and out of trouble and the players will know this.

We are 5 points from safety - it will take a good couple of months to get away from safety. And that's a best case scenario. It's not just 2 wins because other teams can win and will win, as we've seen today.

I personally think this goes to the wire if the -10 points stands.

Look at Lutons fixtures. They will be lucky to take 5 points before now and New Year.
We will stay up with or without the 10 points being squashed

Luton will have Kabore and Mpanzu away for AFCON.

Small mercies I suppose.

As if you even know who they are.

We will probably end up having a great season and miss out on europe over the points.

Yep, not a clue, wouldnt even know a single Luton player without looking lol (Maybe Barkely now i remember he went there & Townsend but only after looking)

1 win is not a run. And Palace are quite bad. From 12th down are just bad teams, and beating any of them every now and then isnt an accomplishment. What some of us have been saying, and will continue to say, is that as long as the team plays like it has been ever since weve had an actual striker, its not a worry. This team is better than the bottom 8.

snatching 3 point tomorrow would be huge. it is possible in bear pit mood. ref will get too. anything that moves should feel the full venom. it's us vs everyone from now on.

I think the most important thing tomorrow is to not lose and even if we only pick up 1 point it moves us into 18th.
3 points would be great but Man U are no mugs regardless of what the media make out.
Tomorrow calls for cool heads in what will be a supercharged atmosphere and not giving our rivals any hope by losing the game or silly suspensions due to red cards.
I am hoping we can get 4 points from our next 2 games which would be a good return.
This is going to be a grind for many months and we have to work on the basis that the 10 point deduction is not being rescinded and maintain a siege mentality to get out of the bottom 3.

Given that the PL is obviously corrupt and are looking to make sure we go down .... I am fully expecting the story to continue with dodgy VAR decisions / ridiculous bookings and red cards and gereral in match decisions to make things increasingly difficult. A red card or PK against us tomorrow seems nailed on !

If the -10 points stands , for sure it goes to the wire. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a nutter .
