Relegation 23/24 Thread

[b-rad]

Hold on, we play Thursday and the Sunday. Luton play Tuesday then Sunday.

Or…
We play Sat, then Thu
Luton play Sat then Tue

It’s still three games in 8 days for both teams.
We have 5 days between games, then 3 days
They have 3 days between games, then 5 days

Thought they were terrible when we played them

They were but I think they were still play through the new coaches ideas and team setup, now they are used to it they are showing some form.

 

[Ring master]

Fulham and Bournemouth going from 2 wins to 1 loss 1 draw is a result for us.

I agree, if some think certain teams are in the fight or not, the more around us the better. chasing more than one Club is better than only chasing only one team for me. always helps when more around us as surely not all of them will win every week

 

[RomanReigns]

Pretty decent gameweek for us considering one of the games was Burnley v Sheffield United so we knew a fellow relegation rival was going to get points regardless

Bournemouth play Luton on day we play away to Burnley. & then Bournemouth play Forest a week later. we need to take advantage when and where we can. Just to name a few little things, but so many situations everywhere that can have you thinking every way possible

 

[D. Amokachi]

The aim should be to catch Forest and Bournemouth so we don’t become part of a bottom 4 cut adrift

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Bournemouth will be gutted that they didn't win that game. Superior to Villa throughout.

Fulham won't be going down, would rather them have got a result today.

Could do with having Onana back for this one.

Yes I was going to say that Onana back to just play half an hour would be important as he can mix it with likes of Joelinthon and Guimaraes who like to put it about.

Then get him starting again for the Chelsea match.

Has Dyche said anything on him? Clearly he was put back too soon v Palace but that match was three weeks ago now.

That was a classic Marco Silva bottle job.

If you cannot get something at Anfield when a goal up after 87 minutes, when can you?

They have improved massively from how bad they were in early weeks and at Goodison was their nadir.

I don't rate Solanke a huge amount but he has a 1 in 2 record this season which can't be dismissed so as long as he stays fit they'll stay up comfortably.

But for the points deduction the promoted teams would be cut adrift now.

 

[knowing your history]

They literally haven’t had anyone that they can change. Their bench last week had 3 keepers, Dummett, Ritchie and 4 kids.

They have been battered by injuries yet have beaten Chelsea, Man United and drawn with PSG while playing youth players like Miley, and Livramento as a LB.

I’d love to beat them, but a point would be huge with their current form.

Last season at Goodison they started Matt Targett at LB so wouldn't shock me if they played Lewis Hall there as Livramento put in some shift yesterday.

Ritchie is a squad player but he is still experienced so he might come in aswell to keep an eye on McNeill.

They're far from invincible away from home as Bournemouth comfortably beat them a few weeks back so get the first goal and good things are possible.

Hopefully Wilson is still out as he has a ridiculous scoring record since he became a premier league striker so could do without seeing him come off the bench on the hour mark!

They took the mick at Goodison last year. I thought Relegation was 100% happening after that game given how bad the second half went. Thank feck that was the last of Keane and Godfrey starting that season.

 

[Iana]

If we can win on Thursday then we could be out of the bottom 3 given other clubs fixtures take place before ours and the opposition they are facing.
Luton home to Arsenal and Sheff U home to Liverpool with Burnley away to Wolves…could be a pivotal moment for our fightback against the 10 point deduction.

 

[knowing your history]

Our December is horrendous lol we really need the other 3-4 teams around us to have an awful month too.

beat Burnley and all will be fine (can scramble a draw at Wolves again).

I think that's the key as after yesterday they'll be targeting another win at Turf Moor a.s.a.p and they'd have targeted Everton at home in August so need to be ready for them as they have tricky players out wide.

Did you really think Fulham would hang on? I knew they would still find a way, even at 2-3 down.
