Relegation 2022/23

[NathDogg]

But poor movement is understandable when we have no real attackers on the pitch. Of course the midfielders will dally on the ball. Everyone knows what we need to stop that continuing: purchases in january.

I agree with you on the breakaway that should have been stopped. Patterson was right next to the Wolves goalscorer when he broke away for the winner. He needed to tap his heels and bring him down, because he was never getting back to his own box to challenge.

It’s wasn’t just Patterson Dave, who I thought was our best player - there were about 5 chances from 5 players to stop the move and then other players who just couldn’t be arsed tracking back once our move broke down.

The movement from the front players from minute one was abject at best - that set the tone, aside from a few moments when we pressed together or won the ball high up the pitch (usually gana doing it) but then it broke down due to McNeil/Gordon/maupay.

Some of our best moments were when Patterson and others ignored the crap in front of them and tried to do it all themselves - which left space that wolves eventually exploited to score the winner.

The gash at the top of the pitch set the tone for yesterday, and frank didn’t react quickly enough to change it.

We’re the worst team in the league at the moment. Leicester are probably the second most tragic.

Leics are sitting pretty in 13th, having not long ago been bottom, and are 1 win away from top half. I doubt we'll be anywhere near 13th place at any point during the rest of the season.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Anyone lighting WEARING blue flares in 2023 is part of the problem.

There ya go, I fixed it for ya (although there are far more people to blame than just Davies and DCL tbf...)

 

[Roachey11]

Bottom 4 will be us, Forest, Saints and Bournemouth. We might squeek 17th if we are really lucky again bur not sure how much longer the luck can keep lasting with such little actually quality on the pitch.

 

[T LEAFE]

My prediction for this season's bottom 3 is as so.

18 - Wolves
19 - Southampton
20 - Everton

I actually think we would get relegated from the championship too we are that bad.

Hopefully we can steady the ship for a while in league 1.
League 2 would be horrendous worrying about dropping out of the league

 

[Cels]

I'm confident we will not be relegated.

 

[Wat Tyler]

How is he still here?

They still have goals in them though. West Ham will turn it around too.

If we dont finish above Notts Forest, Saints and Bournemouth we are down realistically.

Leicester, WHU, Leeds and Wolves have enough quality to stop up.

Bournemouth have Apollo Creeds sons on the board now too

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Yeah I think this is it.

The club will try and get the fans to dig them out again. But I don't think we will.

That bridge has been burnt.

We'll be the next Sunderland or Leeds.

And it's entirely on Kenwright and that board.

Notts County or Barnsley more like at the moment.

Regarding the fans.

If you think the club needs them now, they sure as hell will need them next season in the event that relegation happens.

If the team at the very least doesn't go down fighting then kiss goodbye to any semblance of unbridled support in the Championship.

 

[blue to the bone]

Well in Chelsea!

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Sickening that we’re in this situation again.

Part of me wouldn’t mind seeing heads roll (the entire board) and the squad being virtually burnt to the ground, with youngsters who give a toss being brought through. It wouldn’t be catastrophic if we came back up straight away, but let’s be honest we probably wouldn’t.

Leeds could be in there, I think Southampton are a cert
