The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[davek]

The thing is, their last 2 have been opportunities for them, and they have flopped.

After those next 3, their fixtures turn. They won't be picking up many points for some time after that.

I must say they look a poor outfit to me.

If they finish above Everton Ild be uttley amazed. No chance of that IMO.

 

[Walken]

Not sure you can survive conceding 4 set pieces in one game, could have been 5. Would expect wolves to make a change,maybe the fella at west ham gets sacked and goes back there

Not that I want to see any player injured but when Cunha went down for them and was on the deck for a while I did think if this is an ACL this lot are done for the season

He'll be sold in January anyway it's looking like.

They've lost some talented players Wolves. You cant do that and not pay the penalty if you're a club like them.

I did think they would pull away when their nightmare fixture list improved. Conceded a hatful. Long may that continue because we sure as hell need another team down there.

 

[WelshBlue92]

Agreed, if we get 4/5 points in our next 7 games that takes us to 15/16 points at the halfway mark. Duplicate that for the other 19 then we're safe.
I actually think we'll improve second half of a season, we had some horrendous freak games (like Bournemouth) which I don't think will be duplicated.
With the new owners coming in also then we can hopefully strengthen a couple of positions in Jan.

Almost there

Great win, can't fault anything tonight and the bonus is it makes it like Sunday never happened with the GD drop from that being cancelled out.

Still not out of the woods by a long way. Wolves will surely sack Gary O'Neill soon and their next three are West Ham, Ipswich and Leicester so lose the next three and they won't be far off.

Need to start getting a decent run at home again. I know it's unbeaten since August which is a decent achievement but the performances haven't been great and it's been too many draws against beatable opposition so hopefully tonight is the turning point in mentality.

It will need to be with those who are visiting in the next month.

Think in a similar situation to us cant really spend without taking a chance to wait on a sale in the summer.

Possibly mate.

I think we can do 38 with ease, tbh.

With ease needs loads of wins at Goodison imo.

It can be done as we saw in 21/22 with 9 wins (?). Already played the three promoted away so think away wins are going to be very hard to come by for the rest of the season.

Ideally Wolves draw those 3 games. Keeps them behind us and also means the other teams around us don’t profit much either.

I think when a relegation rival inflicts a defeat on you like that the writing is usually on the wall for the manager.

Like Southampton done to us ?

If they're smart they'll put the feelers out to likes of Moyes and Potter over the weekend.

O'Neil gets one last chance at West Ham on Monday. He can have no complaints if he loses that and then gets sacked especially as Lopetegui probably won't even make that game judging by the reports today.

So first two games for next Wolves manager would be Ipswich at home and Leicester away. Feels like 4 points with a new manager bounce which we've seen countless times so bit too early to write them totally off.

 

[If You Know Your History]

If Dyche and the lads can keep us up again having spent virtually nothing for years now... it will be another job well done.

We simply cannot be relegated to the lower divisions in Goodison's last ever season.

 

[Bez2k2k]

I wasn’t sure on Wolves tonight. I was quite confident we were going to win. The way i looked at it was they have a lot of foreign players and they wouldn’t want to be out there in the cold, wind and rain. Low and behold I feel like I was right because they didn’t really do much at all.

Those next games are must wins for all three teams it will not be easy.
They have some good players but that defending was poor they didn't have s clue.
That manager can't last going off last night.
