Relegation 2022/23

[knowing your history]

FSW will be next Leicester manager if West Ham don't lose today.

 

[LucBesson]

Yes Southampton basically down if they get beat today….

Pointless saying this kind of thing with how unpredictable it all is. Someone strings together 2-3 results and they shoot up to 12th

 

[ToffeeTim]

They are 1-0 up in a game for 3 of those points already

They will probably win but they might not

Saints were 3-1 down last week to a better side

 

[LucBesson]

Just looked at Leicester's next manager odds and they are fanciful to say the least. Thomas Frank? Dreamland. Benitez seems the most realistic ...

I really dont know

they drew with Utd and SpSpurs

if we were playin city and arsenal would you see us picking up much

we did against city, but my point is may be they arent as bad as you think and can pick up points elsewhere as well.

There will always be outlier and surprise results but moreso than not the result of football matches favours the better team. Thinking that Saints will have any possible chance of avoiding relegation is looking for the outlier or unexpected result every week. It is not going to happen. Saints will be playing Championship football next season

Difference between this season and last season is that I don’t watch every team around us and think they’re better than us. I fancy us against anyone at home and I know Dyche won’t be silly with our set up when we go away. Gonna have to actually scrape a 3 points away from home in the run-in tho.

I think the bottom 3 will be Southampton/Forest/Bournemouth.

Brenda has a chunky payoff there too. Will help their precarious finances no end.

Frank walking out of Brentford when they've lost one game in six months would be one of the most bizarre managerial decisions of all time. Are those odds for now or the summer?

Trouble is, it’s so tight that any team getting just a couple of good results on the bounce could see those around them start to bottle it. We’ve not exactly been the most resilient in recent years.

But the best thing about Dyche is that he seems to be making us mentally tougher than we’ve been for a long time (arguably ever with this bunch of players). Keep looking up the table and grinding out results and we’ll be okay.

I don't think they will get anything there anyway. Not too outrageous to suggest it

 

[cantlivewithem]

Southampton are in no way anchored to anything.

If they lose and we win tomorrow we will have a 6 point gap over them with 9 games left. I would be confident in that case that we would finish above them

You didnt understand my point, its not just about those 2 games. They've got results against Utd and Spurs, they can get them in the other games (not including City and Arsenal which I agree is unlikely)

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Imagine spending endless amounts on attackers in January and then benching them all for Theo Walcott!!!

Southampton basically gift wrapped a comfortable three points to West Ham with this team selection.

Think we can take it from his lack of minutes that Big Paul fella is as bad as he looked on YouTube. If we were interested too it’s a 15m bullet dodged.
