Relegation 23/24 Thread

Was worried we would only get 3 points from last 9 available. So absolutely smashed that.

Next 3 games are tough. I’d hope for 4 points realistically.

Shame Spurs have found a little form in last 2 games but hopefully we take the game to them.

Man City are well off form and have 2 games and long flights in the next week. So feels a really good time to play them.

And wolves is obviously the most winnable on paper but seem to pick up some unexpected results. And there’s no easy game.

Just looked at the run of games until February and they are really tough. Good thing we have the points on the board

We have had people saying every few weeks - most of the season, that any upcoming games were tough, and we got through them. Nothing to worry about. Yes we are not going to keep on winning, but been above the bottom 3 is the main thing and we are - dont even agree with certain people who act like the bottom 3 have so called easy games and could pile on the points the next few weeks - Teams around us are also playing each other pretty soon - so again even if any gain on us, it wont be all.

I think we all know the job isn't quite done yet (it's not done until it's done), but Christ, let us enjoy the wins and current form. When in the last 3 seasons or so have we had the opportunity to celebrate the team for a run of games like this?

It’s been over 20 years since we won 4 games on the bounce without conceding. Without the points deduction we’d be knocking on the door of Europe. Yes it’s isn’t over, but the insinuation we’ll go to hell in a hand basket is overly conservative. Face it, other than off field considerations, we’re going to be fine and we’ll all have to get our fix of misery somewhere else.

Without our points deduction, we’ve accumulated more points (26) than Sheff U, Burnley and Luton combined (25).

Even with the deduction, we’re still currently on the same amount of points as Sheff U and Burnley combined.

We’ve also won only one fewer games (8) than Sheff U, Burnley, Luton and Forest combined (9).

That’s an unreal turnaround.

Didn’t expect to see that today

Only 2 teams have a better defensive record than us Liverpool Arsenal

We have only won 2 games less than City Spurs

Neither Burnley or Sheffield United will get to 30 points IMO. Luton’s gritty performances mean they can’t be discounted. I would rather Luton stay up over Forest.

We are going to need to build in a big buffer to protect us from a further points deduction for the next set of accounts

With the Spurs suspensions and City's wobbles we're definitely playing both at the right time, same as we played Newcastle at the right time

Why do people think we will get another points deduction for the next set of accounts ?

Probably cos our crippling debt is leaving a nasty mark in our accounts.

What are the other teams’ games like Kev?

Because people just need something to cry and lose sleep about. It’s like crack to our fans, if things are just going well we start getting withdrawals.
