Relegation 23/24 Thread

Cannot really expect better than that today. Luton handsomely lost, Forest couldn't win at home. Burnley and Sheffield United as good as gone now.

It's been that uneven for a few seasons....

...last 4 Goodison derbies = 3 draws and 1 loss.

but no wins. so free hit

If we could pick up a point against Chelsea and win against Forest, massive! I can see Forest getting some points back, because they supposedly played nice.

I see it the other way round. They got 6 reduced to 4 for good behaviour. Surely the simple fact they appealed should null that cooperation bonus and put them back to -6

 

[matty1878]

lets hope we start performing at home

that burnley first half is one of the worst things ive ever seen

i think and hope we now no what these games mean at home plus we have all the players back except danjuma

if we could get him on the bench nxt sunday to

They’ve won 6 all season ffs

Can’t see them neatly doubling it in the last 5 games.

People are panicking a lot (understandably). Perspective is important though.

Statistics and historic data can often times go out the window in football, however they’re there for a reason. Currently Luton finishing with another over 29 points would be a statical anomaly, likewise is finishing with less than 35 points would be the same.

I know we’ve watched some absolute drivel this year but the fact is Luton most likely will not reach 30 points, whereas without deductions we would be from around 9th-14th. Fact is we should never be worried about the likes of Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United, even as bad as we are, we’re still miles better than them.

Of course that's assuming there's a plan behind all this, and a fair plan, not just the plan to relegate Everton

6 points might be enough shocking as that seems

sunderland 2013/2014 is seen as one of the greatest escapes in premier league history

they had only won 3 home games by gameweek 34

they then won back to back home games against cardiff and west brom and survived

luton could easily pull off back to back home wins and make a great escape

Easily ??

Think it will be

 

[Walken]

They have us in the run in mert, beaten us 100% of the time....

Using a 100% stat for a two game run kind of exposes you a bit

…Toffees 7-1 from 5-1 for relegation without kicking a ball.

 

[NorthernBlue]

Good results. Now just need our win from nowhere like Brighton last season

…Toffees 7-1 from 5-1 for relegation without kicking a ball.

Never see a poor bookie

Brentford will be tricky I think, 4-5 unbeaten and got plenty of pace on the counter. Think that will be a 1-1. Agree the other two will have to be won and that will really put Forest in it given one of their remaining home games is v Man. City.

I hope Ivan Toney has broken his duck by the time he plays at Goodison.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Brentford aside, a decent day of results
