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

[matty1878]

Don't laugh! They lost to Plymouth. I deserve my laugh!

when i laugh at them it comes back to me!

It was hardly a C side mate, the 14 players they had out cost about 250m for a start.

i can’t handle it!

With cup ties it's more a mix and match side. Young being back in yesterday for example when he hasn't been seen for three weeks. Also Harrison getting significant minutes.

I also think if it's been drilled into the players for last few months that the club must remain in the prem at all costs then cup can get in way with extra matches rather than having free weekends to prepare for a few more prem games in the run in.

It's been the mentality for the last few years and I obviously hope it changes with the stadium move as FA cup needs to be taken seriously again by all.

Wouldn't want to see that first half replicated against an Ipswich or West Ham in the run in so hopefully that will be a one off under Moyes so no harm done in the run in.

Yes. If we are going to try to WIN then sometimes we will lose. We have decent players who are now getting used to a new system. We will not set the world alight but we will secure enough points not to worry about relegation.
Out of the cup, hey ho. We will not be out of the PL and that is the reason for this season, we have a new manager.

Moyes is tripe. A washed up Scotsman with zero clue how to get these players to dig in.

We are about 50-50 in terms chances to go down.

Once these owners chose Moyes we automatically went to one of the favourites to go down.

Just because clubs pay hundreds of millions for a bunch of players doesn`t mean they are much good, as we have proven over the last ten seasons.

That's true, but it wasn't a C team.

Fair to say it was their B team!

Their B team knocked out 1st team out of the cup under Carlo. Don't know what point I'm trying to make, anyway...

 

[GoldenToffee]

The one player apart from Pickford we desperately didn't want to see get injured has just been taken off. We're not safe yet. We have no squad, still petrified here.

 

[Infernus]

I never learn do I? I have been saying since the Leicester game that we are pretty much out of this barring some sort of injury crisis. Right on queue.

Ever since Moyes came in our players have been dropping like flies. Someone laughed when I suggested Dyche didn’t have our players properly fit the other week.

 

[Del-boy]

Let’s hope the teams below us keep losing. Our best attacking players being injured is going to cause us issues.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

3 points today and we are clear you would think.
