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

Crazy to think we could have stayed up with 22 points. Dyche only needed to have earned 7 more points to have kept us up.

We'd still be worried now if he had stayed.

What used to be the 40 point safety mark, is now 30?

30 points has been enough this season and the last, but prior to that you needed somewhere between 35 and 40. People just say 40 so that you are well clear of it and not needing to win on the last day, or needing others to lose.

I feel if Moyes had been here to start the season that some of those late-match losses after being ahead or times we played for draws would be three points. Going out on a limb, I think we could have been sitting around 55-60 points.

On course for 55 points over a full season since Moyes came in. With a squad of players who had no hope of finishing higher than 17th and scraping 35 so I was told.

Yep chucked away so many points at Goodison in first few months.

Start well at BMD and no reason why it can't be 50 + point season with a couple of smart signings.

I was worried a bit today with how lethargic the first half was as loss today and at Newcastle and it's another season of barely scraping over 40 points but now potential to hit 46 as expecting a win next week and then Newcastle going to have plenty of pressure on the final day to have to win to get CL so think that will play into the team's hands a little.

4pts from the last 2 games gets us 14th based on Wolves goal difference

Wolves have two winnable games.

Palace away and brentford at home tough imo, west ham have forest home ipswich away. United have chelsea away villa home, spurs have villa away btighton at home

 

[OzarkBlue]

Us dropping points from 2 goal advantages has really hurt. But that's on the managers and players. What still burns my biscuits is that var reversal against United. Conspiratorial table manipulation by var.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

A win next week should see us in a position to finish between 13th and 15th unless Utd go and win their final 2 games by at least a +7GD.

Spurs and Utd. lol

A lot of pressure on both managers at that final - lose that and all they have is that league position and very likely the sack.

Think Ange goes anyway

Could do if they have their eyes on the Bournemouth manager, but if they win a trophy, not sure. They’ve been significantly impacted by injuries this year (even though he is a one dimensional manager).

wolves have two games left against sides who are playing very well at the moment in palace and brentford
