Relegation 23/24 Thread

….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.

Luton are a tough cookie at home... I still get the feeling we'll put together a solid set of results and pull right away from it all.

Our biggest issue is gona be injuries.

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

How confident are you that that'll happen

We won without DCL and Onana at the weekend. And everyone else will get injuries.

And the other teams don’t have 10 points imminently being returned to them.

My biggest fear. We have been relatively lucky so far this season with injuries so far but any injuries to key players, or suspensions, and we will struggle.

I’ve always been confident. Not based on anything other than how farcical and ridiculous the actual punishment was in the first place and that it can’t possibly be justified in any way shape or form.

Forest lose 7 (I think?) players to AFCON soon. Couple that with the poor form they have WITH those players and it's a recipe for disaster in my opinion. In an ideal world, they'll sack Cooper, which would be madness on their part.

I fancy to get a couple back....not the full hit.

That being said i hope you're right,Kind Sir.

I'm not expecting the 10 points to stand but I'm not expecting anything close to the full 10 points back either

Not sure that's the case mate - it seems to be a narrative that has just crept in based on them getting a point vs a below par Liverpool, and Ally McCoist saying it last night on Amazon.

From their 9 points, 5 have been at home. This is home form this season;

It may be a touch like us like maybe, Have Performances from them been decent at home, but they are not getting the points they deserved - i dont have a clue. Though the way some have carried on i didnt realise they had lost 4 at home. The next 3 at home for them are Man City, Newcastle and chelsea before the new year

It is odd where this fortress Kenilworth Road myth has come from. I was watching Back Pages Tonight on Sky Sports News last night and both journalist guests gave Luton the best chance of staying up of the promoted sides given their strong home form. We shall see

They are competitive even if not always picking up results. Very close to beating the reds. Seconds from a point last night. Really shouldn't have lost to spurs. Bit unlucky to lose at United.

It hasn't happened yet but their performances suggest they could put a run of wins together at home against more favourable opposition. Only time will tell.

Luton don't have a lot of quality but they have a lot of grit and determination. I think they will manage to maintain that throughout too as they have a squad of players who have things to prove to either keep their position in the side or get a move back to the PL in the summer. They are far more determined and hard working than the Burnley/SU sides. I think they'll likely finish 19th with SU finishing bottom. Burnley are the side that have the most quality and I think they'll be a bit like Bournemouth where at one point it will click and they'll go on a little run. Our game against them is quite big as beating them affirms our position of being a mid table side and not one that should really be battling to stay up.
