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

[BlueStevie35]

Same points as last season, if the deduction hadn’t happened (8 better than the ‘official’ total), 25 points well clear of trouble (last season was 14, 22 with the lost points) and 2 places better off

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

48 points isn’t too bad considering we had something like 16 when Dyche was sacked

 

[Zezti]

Shocking bottom 3. 26 points was enough to survive, which we had by February. Is that the lowest ever?

 

[Del-boy]

Our goose wasn’t cooked.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Being 23 points above Leicester is satisfying. I loved how we were clear so much earlier this season.

 

[argietoffee]

did we stay up?

I've been on the beer for a bit.

Still, it's a team that dictates 12th-17th.

We need to spend big and well this summer to progress.

Pace out wide and ability/composure in the final third.

Yes but last year it only took 27. Those are the only two below 30.

Honestly, I am shocked of how bad them and Ipswich became the 2nd half of the season

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Wasn’t Forest 2nd or 3rd at some point this season? Without depth you risk being a flash in the pan. 7th is great and I’d love it for us. But in the end they’re not playing in Europe and finished 19 points behind the RS. We should look at them as a cautionary tale.

 

[barneygumble]

We finished as close to City in 3rd, as we did Leicester in 18th.

Both 23 points.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That was an extremely good second half of the season.

We had very nearly double the points total of the best of the relegated sides.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

That was an extremely good second half of the season.

Moyes changed match day to something of hope and joy as opposed to dread and losses or draws.

 

[siddharth]

I am entirely pleased with this second half of the season performance. Part of the reason I liked our club to begin with.

Mad to think we could have been on 0 points half way through the season and still stay up by 6 points.
