Relegation 2022/23

[JimEFC]

I bet Dyche would have accepted today's scores in advance of them.

He definitely would. It's great we can now be the one ahead on points, not arsed if Leeds/Leicester draw because thats basically wasting a game they have left.

That win at Brighton has been such a massive bonus and a boost, it's hard to put in words how much good that has done for our chances and our morale now for the next 3 teams. Also +4 goals to boot, which gives us an edge on Leeds in the GD column.
32 goals all season and 5 of them last Monday 16% of our goals in one match!

Wolves seem to be asleep at the wheel. Bournemouth couldn't give a stuff. Their only remotely local team just went down so even their crowd won't be arsed now.

 

[Nymzee]

Not with you there, okay it would be desirable to get at point out of the game.

Well yes obviously

 

[GoldenToffee]

Soton and Leeds cannot get to 38. If we get 38 we finish 18th or higher.

18th = relegated!

We're not getting 38pts, if 36 isn't enough turn out the lights

 

[PITA]

18th = relegated!

But you said:

That wasn't the point though. We can still get 6 more points and finish 19th. Incredibly unlikely, yes, but possible.

Clearly what you said was wrong and that is what my point was. Why not just admit it instead of misdirecting?

 

[BrendanGOT]

Forest are safe after that imo. Between us, Leicester and Leeds for the bottom two spots.

I never said we were. Go back through the posts or maybe look at the one two above this to understand.

 

[Davidoff]

Are we down yet?

 

[witchdoc187]

Way too close this. It's not impossible for us to get 0 points the next 3 games. Had enough of this if I'm honest. I'll never complain about 12th place trophy again

I don't get this logic.

They have 34 points, we have 32, Leeds 31, and Leicester 30. Everyone has a better GD than Forest.

They play Arsenal next.

How are they safe? By Sunday week, they could be behind both us and Leeds.

Still think 35 should hopefully do it.

4 from 6 for Leeds I reckon is their max. Draw away at West Ham, beat Spurs last day at home. 35 with worse GD as long as nothing daft happens to us tomorrow vs City.

Leicester maybe pull a point out of Liverpool or Newcastle, can’t see them getting points in both. Then win their last game vs West Ham. Puts them on 34.

Forest I think will be on 34 going into the final game as don’t see them getting anything vs Arsenal. No idea what happens in that Palace game but they’re gonna have to win away as 35 with their poor GD won’t be great.

Still completely in our hands.

 

[The binman chronicles]

A win tomorrow is almost guaranteed survival, but it won’t happen. We will survive after beating wolves.

I think it will go to the final game as when have Everton given us anything to make it a bit easier. For instance last year we had Brentford and Watford to seal it before we finally did in the 80th odd minute against Palace. We all knew we'd be stuffed if we left it to the final day against Arsenal so that in effect was our last chance.

That Brighton result just gets bigger

It was crucial. Basically we had to win one of the games we couldn't see us getting a result in City/Brighton to make up for the game we should have won at home (Fulham).

Ok but 18th, 19th, it's all the same really. If we go down, it doesn't matter what position we end in. Granted we cannot finish 19th on 38 points.

How?
