Relegation 23/24 Thread

Nah, two very poor teams.

How was barkley

 

[Toffeeback]

Surely he makes a motion towards him with the sole purpose of blocking him off

Honestly I thought that, but watch it a few times, he literally goes for him.

Yeah, I think Trafford didn't help himself by exaggerating the fall so strongly, but on replay the Luton guy sees him coming and backs directly into him with a fully intentional hip check. No way that's not a foul, except that it's Burnley and not, say, United or the RS. Shouldn't have even needed a VAR check in the first place, and of course the VAR's gone and flubbed it yet again anyway.

At the end of the day, a draw or a Burnley win would both have been better than a Luton win, so we come out ok either way, but just want to see some proper officiating for once.

How was barkley

First half was controlling things a lot with nice sprayed passes out wide second half he was very quiet and looked a bit gassed.

I'm very concerned. Luton are ahead of us now and they have a game in hand and they smashed Burnley away and just look at their goal difference!

 

[ToffeeTim]

End of the day the draw awards 2 points instead of 3 to rival clubs so if nothing else the maths is better.

Keeps us out of the bottom 3 and another team 4 back

4 back?

 

[ToffeeTim]

4 back?

Burnley are 4 points behind us

Would have been 2 if they held on

They are behind us on goal difference and we have played the same games

Prefered a burnley win. Luton are a more dangerous threat than burnley.
Brentford are on the crest of a slump and they've got some really tough fixtures coming up.
5 points back on appeal would be very nice right now.

Luton will absolutely run out of steam way before the season end... of that i am certain, they don't have the squad to keep going as hard as they are.. .they are playing well above themselves at the moment..

Sick of this narrative. We shouldn’t be happy with 5 points back. A 5 point deduction is not fair.

Pre-empting us getting turned over 5-0 by Villa on Sunday.
