Are we in a relegation battle right now?

[bicycleheader]

37.7 % of ye are complete nutjobs. Ostriches is a name the springs to mind.

We are absolutely dirt right now, but we won't be getting relegated and I am pretty certain we won't be worrying about relegation for the majority of the season.

Ironically if it is Dyche we might get a boost if Burnley implode.

I suspect we will be forced to pay way over the odds for a semi competent striker in Jan which will be just enough to see us to safety

 

[bicycleheader]

Utterly awful start to the season yet still better than 5 other teams right now and 4pts off 8th.

Get a proper manager in now please Kenmosh

Next 4 games are crucial, all winnable games, no one we should fear in them matches. Southampton away probably the most difficult, if we pick up 8-10 points in them games crisis avertedlol could even start thinking of challenging for 7th.

.... seems like a lifetime ago, but it was only just over three weeks Southampton slaughtered us. With hindsight it's easy to say these threads were an over-reaction, but back then it really was hard to see where our next win was coming from.

 

[cromofo]

Yes

 

[ToffeeTim]

We are still doomed

 

[Undisputed_blue]

Have we got 40 points yet? If not, then yes, we're in a relegation battle.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Its nice to play some crappy teams.

 

[Hibbo]

After we lose to Chelsea, yes relegation is back on.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Bumped. We're still four wins away from PL survival.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Next week is much more important than we'd have expected at Christmas.

 

[TraffordBlue]

Absolutely no way we are in a relegation battle because we have 27 points. We need 4 wins from 15 which is easily doable and even if we only manage say 10 more points (3 wins and a draw), I can't see all 9 of the sides below getting over 37 points.

If Southampton, Bournemouth, Stoke and West Brom managed only 21, 21, 20 and 19 points from 23 games, how are they going to get another 17+ points from just 15? It just won't happen, and there are other sides below us like Watford and Newcastle whose form is absolutely awful too.

You'd have put your shirt on us losing today but the manner of the defeat shows how far from safety we really are.
