Relegation 2022/23

[NorthernBlue]

Odd from Palace. Ditched Hodgson and that style for a young attacking team. First wobble so revert back to what they wanted to move away from.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Forgot how bad Hodgson’s record at Watford was.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Took over in January last year at Watford won just 2 games in nearly half a season.
They got relegated when they played at Palace and at the end of the match went on the pitch to acknowledge the Palace fans but ignored the Watford fans who had just seen there team relegated.
Said they were to far away from him the horrible arl git
Massive mistake this by Palace.

I actually forgot he managed Watford last year. They were dreadful in the last few months of the season

This.

Reckon it could go either way this - a masterstroke or a disaster.

Could a way to look at it be that we just have to outperform 3 teams from 12 over the next 10 games? I know a few have games in hand but generally if we equal/better 3x teams form over the next 10 games we should stay up.

Likewise, if Dyche can carry on the form since he arrived we piss staying up.

Still a big ask.

There really doesn’t seem to be any logic from Palace here. Hodgson was absolutely dire when Watford appointed him, albeit in far more trouble then than Palace are now but he hardly galvanised that group of young men in need of guidance. Viera had been playing similar football this season to what Roy serves up anyway. They might as well of given Alan Pardew a call

I see three teams in freefall and 5 teams who know they're in the mire.

Just need to not lose any of the 4 of our remaining games against relegation rivals (Palace & Wolves away, Leicester & Bournemouth at home) & try to pick up some wins/points in the other games.

Yeah it is still a big ask but we are heading in the right direction. while teams like Palace and Forest are going the other way. I think and it’s still a big ask because they have better players but if we beat spurs we will go to Old Trafford full of confidence and pick up at least a point.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Looks like Ryan Mason may be in charge of Spurs for our game.

not sure how I feel about that TBH. surely Dyche has him on toast, tactically speaking.

Time will tell, but the initial opinion of Hodgson to Palace is optimism... for the other teams battling relegation!

Also a few times relegation teams play each over the next few weeks, so clearly some teams are gonna drop points

Not sure if I’d prefer our rivals all draw against each other, or 1-2 teams to go into freefall.

Whichever scenario happens certain posters will be in here telling us the outcome was disastrous for us.

 

[davek]

To be fair, neither did Chelsea or City before they won the EuroMillion Lottery.

What a blooming chance we missed when Sky and the PL were young and we were still an aristocratic powerhouse in the English game

...and when Kenwright turned down the City owners.

Leicester is away too.

Remember when we went there knowing a win would more or less secure survival and they were already down and had 10 players out injured and we played for a 0-0?
