Relegation 23/24 Thread

[Toffeepot]

A lot of huff and puff but not many big results.
They don't get 30 points .

yea probably not
I was more making the point that most teams, even relegation fodder tend to do better at home
Meanwhile we are 4th in the table away and relegation zone at home

We spent a few years sorting our away form out only to fall off a cliff at home
Nuts

I feel so pathetic going mental over that but this is our life.

I’m not there yet. Had we actually won 7 points,then ye. But we’re in better form than most of the bottom half since first 5 games. Tough fixtures coming up, but still hopeful of a care free April / May

I watched some of that game tonight and just had the same thought the whole game, Ross Barkley has had a fairly wasted career. World at his feet at one time. He put in a serious shift tonight..... The Rat

Luton are such a different animal at Kenilworth rd
Heard a Luton fan saying at the start of the season he expected them to give out a few shocks at home but get smashed away
He's not wrong

Just shows though we really need to sort our home form out

They still don’t win many but ye, look like they might nick a few. We’ve won 2 of last 1a or 13 at home? Still some pundits talking about how difficult a place Goodison is to go.

it Needs to become that again before we say farewell to her

I know, but they still play a lot better there, drew with liverpool nearly beat them, nearly drew with arsenal, and have more home points than us
We didnt do either and never even looked like doing either

Still think we finish above them mind

Good that given their upturn in form hasn't resulted in many points, these late goals conceded against Liverpool & Arsenal will be a massive sucker punch for them

The scary thing is that by the standards of normal humans he's still young and fit

In football terms though he's basically dust

This is spot.on, I was at my peak 'fitness' at around 38-40.... but it's downhill quickly.from.there, so

They beat Palace after the RS game.

That's the premier league though. They win that and think they can win some more and then Arsenal and Man. City turn up within a week of each other.

In January and February they have Burnley away and Brighton, Sheffield United and Man. United at home in a five game spell. I reckon that decides things for them. If they can win a couple of those they could be very close to 20 points and then safety dosen't feel that far away with still about 11-12 games left so then a point a game gives them a reasonable chance of taking it to the final day (given Leeds were on 31 points last season and they still had a slim chance of staying up).

Is strange atm still feel it will be massive for ys to get above them and if we can actually get points back. Whenever that could be we may see heads drop.

Suttins gotta give tho asnt it if r home form was like our away form we would be top 3/4 wouldnt we?

Not realistic is it

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Brighton Brentford me

Ha

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Those results against Palace West Ham and Brentford where vital looking at it now.

 

[Eggs]

….i think we have to be prepared for Burnley, Luton and even Sheff Utd to go on decent runs but if we can accumulate 3 more points than those clubs by the end of the season we’ll be safe.

I do expect other clubs to be drawn into it but our task is to win that mini-league.

 

[MikeH72]

Gonna be funny reading back through this thread when we get our points back.
