Relegation 2022/23

[blue to the bone]

Still very much In the mix which was evident from early November.
Personally I think Bournemouth will definitely go. And more then likely Southampton. And anyone of 4 or 5 for the last spot .

We've got 21 points mate. We need to win about 40% of our remaining 14 games to stay up. We won't even win 30%. You can't throw away games like that and think you have chance of survival.

Shame, not Dyche's fault of course but having to be subjected to that today was horrible. We could have played all night, even after Villa had gone home, and still not put the ball in the net.

I agree we'll nick some away points, but ultimately it'll count for nothing, and we certainly won't go away and beat a top half team.

It’s terrible that it’s come to this but you’re right. We just haven’t got the room to leave home games against a mid table side with no points.

 

[Wat Tyler]

think it will be an equally bruising weekend for Forest who got absolutely hammered today, that will be a really big game next weekend

It’s always been them, us, Leeds, Bournemouth and Southampton for me.

Wolves, west ham, Leicester etc were never going down

 

[R.Reddington]

Tough task now.

We had to win today.

Need to beat Forest and Brentford and hope to pick up points somewhere from the other fixtures.

 

[GoldenToffee]

It'll alright, Townsend will be back in April.

 

[Thomasc]

It’s properly sunk in now that we are going down and I feel sick to the stomach

 

[Blue 1]

6 home games, half of them against the top 5. 8 away with utterly abysmal away form.

I'd say we're bolloxed.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Difficult first four fixtures for Dyche and he’s managed to take a bunch of total losers and make them fight for everything, winning 6 points from 12 and playing much better to watch football.

If we win every other game the rest of the season we get 21 points and finish on 42 which would easily see us safe.

Today looked like a disaster but all that happened is crap teams beat other crap teams so yes, Leeds winning was bad but Southampton losing was good and West Ham winning was bad but Forest getting a demoralising stuffing is good and drags them back into the mix.

If Bournemouth beat City that would be a bad result the way us beating Arsenal was terrible for everyone else.

It’d be a lot easier if we had a striker but I think Dyche can get us out of this.

 

[MACCA75]

Uh oh, stand back everyone, Superfan alert

It’s so tiresome isn’t it. In the bottom 3 and can’t buy a goal but we have to pretend it’s all going fine.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

We’re in a crap position but there’s no way you can feel as bad as after we lost at Burnley last year?
That’s the only time I thought we were done.

man u tottenam arsenal chelsea

they’res 12
gone 12

I don't see how we can get any sort of result at Arsenal or Man U

But we can definitely get points agsint Chelsea and Spurs. Probably 4 max. 1 min

 

[jazzy]

Unless Calvert-Lewin returns as Dixie Dean reincarnate for the rest of the season we are gone.

Trouble with the other 4-5 is I can see Leeds, Leicester, Wolves and West Ham all comfortably getting to 35-36 points now.

It's a very big ask for this team to get there based on wins at Goodison alone with the six home fixtures left. I'm expecting defeats v Man. City, Spurs and possibly Newcastle.

And stats show this team has very little when it goes a goal down so that's a massive problem in away games where team is more likely to concede first.

Arsenal away is all about GD protection for me and then have to go all out to win at Forest to really drag them back into it.

I feel less confident. We have no Richarlison to drag us over the line

I'm just holding onto the hope of what Simon Jordan said on talksport. That he thinks 3 other teams may stink it out more than everton this season.
