Relegation 23/24 Thread

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.

Their home form kept them up last season. Its not so hot this time and their away results have continued to be terrible( que them battering fulham 0-3 tonight at craven cottage)

The biggest word In the English language.
IF

Oh yes. Works both ways too.

 

[blue to the bone]

Oh yes. Works both ways too.

Let's see in a month. Without all the worst case scenarios

 

[Blue Willy]

Thats what I said “we will know more in a month”. But some BIG games there you must admit. Beat one of the big boys AND Burnley and I will be happy.

Barkley is huge for Luton’s chances - he was great last night and has been for a bit, but can he keep it going? If teams shut him down then they are in bother.

Likeiwse, if he’s injured they may struggle - everything attacking went through him.

Think Sheff United and Burnley are toast.

Any team up to Brighton is still in our mini-league and who we need to take points off - if we can nick a few from the top 7 then all the better, starting with the horse punchers tomorrow.

We need to get a grip of our home form, but if we keep fighting and battling, and take a couple more of our chances, we should be ok, regardless of the corrupt premier league not giving us our points back, which they absolutely should.

The disgusting thing is that after what we’ve been through the last few seasons, this is the season, according to our form, that we should be sitting comfortably in mid table and relegation should be far from our minds, but we’re Everton and can’t have nice things!

We shall not be moved - Up the corrupt premier league fighting Toffees!

He's flown under the radar and opposition teams haven't prepared for him. His latest performance will take care of that. Barkley won't be able to find as much space as he has now that other teams are aware of what he's capable of.

Our away form is our trump card here. We're going to end up in the top half of the away league table. If you do that then no team surely will find itself relegated? None of Luton, Burnley or Sheff Utd are remotely capable of winning as many games as us away from home.

If they throw back 4 points to us from those deducted we're in clover.

I still think that would be an outrage. We shouldn’t be softened up to accept that as a win, I am still expecting most of if not all of the points back. Anything less and the protests need to continue indefinitely.

Definitely 3 or 4 points back and we're golden...mentally that will be massive for ourselves and the teams around us.

A 6 or 7 point deduction is completely farcical and wrong. Don’t ever lose sight of that.

Tbh, I cant see any points handed back. That would be favourite right now.

We have to play on like we're getting nothing back because in all likelihood we won't.

Away form should count for a lot here though.

I think that’s by far the most unlikely outcome.

Mate I agree completely...it's just I think The Prem has done a stitch up job on us so likelihood of getting all 10 back seems unlikely.
