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

[MaximusEvertonius]

Safe now for sure. But one more win, which is very achievable, is a done deal.

We don’t deserve to drop to 16th when West Ham beat Leicester tomorrow.

whilst this is factually correct leicester won 7 of their last 9 games in 2014/2015 to stay up and west ham won 7 of their last 9 games in 2006/2007 to stay up

as john cena says "never give up"

Indeed, but I can't see us not picking up points either.

Crazy unfair given that Dyche left us in 16th!

Yeah still in the mix but is tough, just taking it as it goes at the minute trying not to look at the table and just see the performances from the team. Just hope we can get players back fit and have a strong finish to the season to win games like this today

16th but 10 points clear of 17th as opposed to 1 clear of 19th.

Safe before the end of February

Thank you David

Terrible result for Ipswich

Wolves give you a lifeline last night. Then you get 45 minutes against 10 men and that abysmal united team, and you can't even get a point.

So so bad

 

[blue to the bone]

35 = likely
36 = v. likely
38 = deffo

I will die on that hill.

Ill send a wreath you wet wipe

I think it's a minor miracle to be on 32 points now. Also helped by Ipswich and Leicester completely imploding since start of January as if one of them was on 25 points they'd still be a bit of risk.

Just be thankful the managerial change happened when it did otherwise would still be in same position as Wolves and looking over shoulder going into a very tough April schedule.

If as likely Leicester get beat at West Ham tomorrow, we’re effectively 16 points clear of the drop zone with the far superior goal difference. People keep saying “but they could go on a great run” which of course is possible although highly unlikely because they’re quite simply, rubbish. But two things need to happen here, not only do one of them need to go on a run that nether have shown they’re capable of, but we also have to lose every single game we play between now and the end of the season. Having BOTH of those things happen, is nigh on impossible.

Still loads of points to play for could easily move up the table again.

 

[Neiler]

Could do a bit of damage to Wolves if we beat them.

Nothing particularly against them like but let's make that relegation battle interesting from a neutral viewpoint.

Absolutely own them one or two, I’m thinking of that Coady goal and getting Millard by them Jan last season.
