They battled hard . Could have got something. Bur they lost . At home. Again . And got 0 points .
That's all that matters in this league

Yep, at the end of the day you get nothng for fighting, and losing. So many home early games we lost,despite us been way on top in them, but rarely get mentioned by the experts. But many always go on about Luton

yep. They have 15 points from 19 games. Not all bad luck to have only that return.

If we get some points back it may knock the stuffing out of teams like Luton.

DanB90 · December 30, 2023

Luton with another battling loss.

Good result. I didn't expect a Chelsea win

SJB · December 30, 2023

15 points from 19 games. 30 keeps you up this season, right?

Neither did I. Big opportunity now to get the gap going in the right direction again.

I don't think 30 will finish bottom, I'm not sure if Sheff Utd will get 30. Burnley and Luton both took time to acclimatise so I would expect both of them to get more points in the second half of the season. 38 should probably be enough to stay up though.

38 is a lot of points for the teams at the bottom right now..

Luton continue to impress at home.

2 wins in 10

It would need 7 wins for Luton, which looks a lot, but they have already played Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle and Chelsea at home. They could theoretically win all their home games except maybe Man United although I'm not convinced they'll enjoy going to Luton. It was a relief that they didn't show up today until the last 25 minutes.

Also I think 38 is a good target. I don't see us going down if we get 38, and it won't leave us relying on other results.

I think it's "easier" for them to be competitive against the bigger teams though. When the pressure is on them to win games I think they'll crumble.
