Relegation 23/24 Thread

True but we seem to be slipping and they seem to be getting a bit of an act together.

They won 2,2 and 1 games respectively in December, we won 4 games in december.

No denying the end of the month was disappointing but over the month our slipping was still better than their getting their act together.

You sure ??

Well we have lost 4 on the trot now, but I am admittedly not that sure.

Cup games don't count in the league.
We have more points then any of them in the last 6 . More goals scored this season.
We had one bad loss and people are losing their heads .

No it is the performance that we need to look at of late.

Are you happy with that ?

Technically the cup game was a draw

yep, result is always classed at 90mins when a shoot out, and to me it was a draw - The pain of that shoot out defeat you could say has put us on a downer, but you can also say look who we have played

We were lucky to get to penalties. That game should have been won.

It's the performance though. Others down at the bottom are playing well. We are not.

I've changed my view and feel.we are absolutely now in a relegation dogfight.

All bar yesterday yes I am .

It was universally agreed that we were unlucky against Spurs.. we were the better team.. City got an extremely controversial VAR call to give them the lead.. we were OK V City.. we've had 1 bad performance in December.

I thought personally the Fulham game was a little indifferent, didnt think we were great, but didnt think we were bad. Spurs bar little bits, i thought we were pretty good and deserved a draw at least, Man City we had a go. and The less said about Wolves the better. For me we have only under performed v Arsenal Home, and Villa and Wolves away the whole season

I didn`t realise just how bad our chance conversion was... we are bottom of the league, Imagine where we`d be if players could finish! We`ve had 396 shots at goal, only the RS have more and we are joint second with Arsenal. So we are getting the chances but the players we have aren`t capable of scoring.

Imagine where we would be if the conversion rate was just 3% higher, we`d have as many goals as Arsenal! I don`t think this is a formation or system issue, this is players who have never been goal scorers that, if we want to progress, needs replacing.

This doesn't take into account the shot.. Gana having a go from 25 yards would be classed as a shot even though it's 40 yards wide and 25 yards to high.

I'd Agree with this.. maybe add the United (first game after deduction) game as an underperformance
