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

[Saint Domingo]

We’d have to lose every game and one of Ipswich or Leicester would have to go at 1.7 points per game for 10 games. That’s almost champions league form. Neither event is happening. It’s done.

You get put in a special category along with Matty. And I don't think he is even worried now...

Find it a honour to be in the same category as Matty

You have to wonder why philogene opted for Ipswich instead of us...it was clear that there would be in trouble. Must be looking forward to play championship football. Anyhow we are after better players now hopefully.

Dont think everton really wanred him looked like his agent was just pushing for a move with the better money for him. Agree with you do feel esp for that price we can get better hopefully

Ipswich I think could have done a Luton. Gone out and got a load of players expecting them all the gel. They go down and Luton looked doomed again now. A young manager, so was the Luton fella, a load of them players are going to want to leave;

Delap
Philogene
Hutchinson
Greaves
Clarke

Not that I think any one of them are really upto the premierships standard other than Delap, but still. Luton lost a fair few players and look what’s happened.

Am I being stupid. Why even though we are 16 points clear at present, still got something in the back of my head making me still worried about relegation haha.

Muscle memory can be a bitch sometimes.

Dont think they will leave cant see alot teams wanting them becuase of the price. Delap will go but the rest will stay, i think they have bought well as will have a very good chance to win the championship next season.

 

[RomanReigns]

this is by far the worst relegation battle ever

even if we got deducted 20 points tomorrow we'd still survive

 

[GoldenToffee]

IMO there will be fewer than 5 victories in total from the current bottom three teams before the season is over. They are all absolutely pathetic. Shows just how bad a job Dyche was doing to have us in and around them until he was sacked

 

[liamefc91]

We are the same number of points off 4th than we are relegation

Don’t have to wonder at all. Same reason Elanga didn’t come to us. (Even though that has since proved to be a good decision, it didn’t look it at the time).

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Might only need 28 points to stay up. Those three are shocking

Marius is spot on.

If you are a winger who doesn't want to play as an auxiliary full back why would you sign to play for Dyche?

Yeah I’m not counting any chickens until it’s mathematically done. We are unbeaten in 8 but could easily gone on a big run of losses. Yes it looks good but let’s just keep everything crossed. Hopefully we go into the Southampton game at home with nothing to play for at all, them either.

So sad though that every season this merry go around continues whilst them across the park are about to win another league, another cup and potentially another champions league. Every season for like the last 5 years has been the same for me. Just no hope at all. Only in these last few games it’s been better. We should have got a pen against United and if Beto could finish we potentially would have beaten Brentford easily and Wolves were there for the taking. Them 3 points are of course better then 0 but still.
