Relegation 23/24 Thread

What a test we've just come through.

After the United game we were 9 points behind Forest, tonight we're 1 point behind them.

Stunning.

You know what stings a little it should have been 12 points, we should have beat Utd but that wonder goal killed the occasion.

Even after the goal we should of been up by HT

Phew, good job Luton didn't pick up anything from their last two games otherwise we would already have been down by now. (Sorry, can't remember the poster who said that but couldn't resist it).

Seriously, this thread should now be shifted off the Everton part of the forum and onto the other football sections because we aren't going anywhere but upwards.

So much for moral being sucked out eh Dave?

That's why I stated "what a test we've come through".

 

[NathDogg]

You feeling ok @davek?

The 'forced rotation 'of gueye and Branthwaite could be useful as they will need a rest with all thr games coming

Yes, they could of missed Spurs away the game after where will need our best team out to get anything.

Anyone else getting Joe Royle '94 vibes at the moment? Specifically when he came in and a previously meek, disorganised team started bullying teams all over the park and then mixing in bits of skill when neccessary. We beat Liverpool 2-0, then Leeds 3-0 and didn't concede for about six matches.

The football feels exactly like that period, and the feel of the club too.

What so annoying is that on 23 points we’d be 14 above the third place drop and also probably about 9 points from getting a total that would keep us in the league. Thelwell would be able to plan for next season and prospective January targets would be confident we’d be in the league. Instead we’re still talking about a bloody relegation fight thanks to some lawyer from Leeds and an ex West Ham director.

….yep, ‘stickability’ was maybe a phrase from that time.

Perhaps time for a cheeky flutter on a cup win?

Who knows?

good to see the PPG nerds are widespread

Look at Bournemouth. Didn't see that coming.

I did.

As I said on Saturday night - every single season they seem to have this kind of run in them.

….yes, had to look that up; ‘points per game’.

That's fair, but the new guy looked clueless. Fair play to them for not panicking.
