Relegation 23/24 Thread

[Chrismac]

FAO the people who are amused at the postings of others who fear relegation...please take a look at the current PL table. Here it is - with City to come later today...

....and that's after 4 wins in the last 5 games...it's hilarious isn't it?

And yet no mention of this, less than a month ago?

People need to stop pushing this narrative. They've won 8 points at home and 7 away. It's a football cliche repeated, like Pickford is only good for England etc.

You're not looking at the performances though. Last min goals by the RS and Arsenal plus City. They've been in all their games.

We have took 26 points from 18 games including only taking 1 from the first 5 games with no striker.
We will take between 26-30+ points in the second half of the season aswell. Relegation talk is ludicrous

We had a good run, good runs don't last, it's more amusing theres people thinking we're going to have a never ending good run

We've beaten moderate and poor teams away and two teams who have been good but are struggling away from home at Goodison. We now have a run against good teams home and away, which is a big test. If we can scramble some points over the next 6 games then hopefully we'll still have some confidence when the more winnable games arrive.

fight blues

And after a 10 point deduction we were 19th, now we are not. We also have a positive goal difference. If you want to leave out other facts that's ok, but don't expect others to.

And in terms of our survival we haven't really shifted the dial.

I think the team have. Playing as a team and with a positive mentality...that’s been a big change……

With all due respect I’m not sure how you can say that, Dave. I know you love the club and live in fear due to the events of the past few years, but surely you can see that compared to those seasons this team is far better equipped to do the job. They are playing well and I think will be well above the drop zone come the end of the season. Yes, I could be wrong, but going by things right now I think it's unlikely.

Showing they can win away...consistently. That's a huge difference from previous two seasons and a huge plus in the Dyche era.

So going from 5 points adrift to 1 point clear isn’t shifting the dial? lol

 

[MikeH72]

A lot of people keep forgetting though that they are brilliant at home.

Everyone would probably say we’re crap at home and we’ve won more home games than them.

The biggest threat to our status is the PL itself. Wherever possible they will deny us points.

They have deducted 10 and aim to make sure that is effective in our case.
The manipulation of the outcome of games is so easy these days.

And I really would put no faith in us getting any back. At all. The PL have shown they can’t be trusted.

Not substantially. We've done enough, of course. But others - especially Luton - have found form and clawed back to within a point of us.
