Relegation Thread 25-26

I'm not sure so tough mate, I think Newcastle are very overrated.

I just noticed they're away 4 days earlier to Marseille in the CL, so probably a good time to face them.

We seem to be getting very lucky playing CL / EL playing teams when they've just had European trips.

We should be further up the table because of it, and it's another reason why top ten has to be the low hanging fruit we grab and secure this season.

Yea, I'd be disappointed if we don't beat them to be honest. I think they've spunked a lot of money on some very ordinary players.

The big feller is a threat, and Gordon will no doubt be a handful if he plays.

They are both very good to be fair.

We are now closer to 2nd than 18th. Clearly we are not in the title race, but also not in the relegation race, probably best to lock the thread really.

I don't see a need to lock the thread as it is interesting to see how any relegation fight develops.
Thread should be moved out of the Everton forum though as we won't be involved.

I think Wolves Burnley & Fulham are the most likely three.
Then there's clubs like Leeds, Forest and Brentford where a few key injuries could quite easily see them go 10 games without a win.

Despite Fulham been as close to the bottom 3 as they are. They've rarely even been mentioned as getting relegated. Probably the usual saying from some "of they will climb away" will be the reason

No chance of relegation but the table doesn't look great again.

Very compressed, I know, but even so if we'd put away Sunderland and West Ham we'd be in a very decent position right now.

We needed that win yesterday, as we're still no further away from the drop zone points wise.

Spurs must not have read the script then.

See it the other way has been a better week because of the result creates a bigger gap. To what we had from leeds fulham ect but is ankther tough 5 fixtures united a, newcastle h, bournemouth a , forest h, chelasea a.

There’s going to be some teams that drop like a stone from that middle pack it’s so tightly condensed. I’d say Leeds and Burnley to join Wolves.

sadly i think its looking quite obvious that will be the case

had real hopes for a west ham and forest implosion

….other than Wolves, it’s a difficult to one to read.

10 games tends to be a first benchmark of the season but a couple of wins or defeats makes a bit difference as it stands.

I do think Forest and West Ham will climb, whilst Leeds and Burnley hopefully fall away. Two wins before Christmas will hopefully gets us over that 20 point mark.

 

[Gilbert..]

That leeds loss is still annoying.

Spurs have got more resources and pedigree in Europe than any Forest team of the last 40 years. No comparison.

Stood still as far as getting top 10 and European place though, with some difficult games coming up.
