Relegation

[GoldenToffee]

Christian Eriksen will win Brentford the game on Saturday, and I fear Palace will once again be too energetic and pacy for us. We could so easily lose the next three games. If we can win one I feel we're ok, but after tonight I'm scared again.

We could be in the bottom 3 again by the time we play Brentford.

Aghast why we didn’t push for a winner tonight, would’ve been massive.

We aren;t good enough mate. I thiught this had been established?

Goodison will get us the final points to guarantee it.

 

[Everton1654]

We should have taken points from City and the RS. Arsenal as well below that level.

Did you just see us against Watford?

 

[ossie_21]

Leeds have self imploded, they probably won’t even get past us. We could be safe already but still need to play like we aren’t, Leeds & Burnley playing before us on Sunday could be a plus or a negative, depending on how you want to look at it.

Lack of quality raises its head again. Scrapped 2 wins with pickford saving us the maximum 6 points. Tonight when it came to go win a game other than just digging in the lack of quality is quite scary. I think every single other team in this division would have turned watford over tonight. Even norwich.

Around the grounds

Watford 0-0 Everton
Leicester 3-0 Norwich
Leeds 0-3 Chelsea
Wolves 1-4 Man City (77th minute)

Everton that! Other teams smacking them in against poor opposition

Could be back in the relegation zone by the time we kick off v Brentford.

It is a bad result. We could’ve had it sewn up on Sunday. The cowardly performance has really left a bad taste in my mouth, we were happy with the 0-0 from the first minute against Watford’s reserves, that’s not at all good enough.

I guess some glasses are just half full and some aren't!! Considering where we've come from and how close to safety we are it's another step to that safety. Add in to the mix a very badly struggling Leeds and two home games for us I'm sorry it's a positive. But you can wallow in it if you like were all entitled to our opinion.

 

[PhilM]

….we’ve gone from 5 points detached to two points clear in three games, which is a major positive but can’t help think that was a missed opportunity.

It’s certainly a missed opportunity, but some are acting as if we’re now likely to go down. One win from three and we’re nigh on safe.

Psst. We’re the poor opposition.

Get them all on inhalers before the weekend.

 

[barneygumble]

6 points away from home in 8 months.

Just got 4 in 3 days, and our first clean sheet away since Brighton. Lots of positives from the past week despite the disappointment of today.

Leeds GD took another battering they’re missing 7 players until the end of the season.

We have two huge games upcoming, a win may well do it, 4 more or less clinches our safety.

 

[wiggum23]

If we best Brentford we are likely safe as I just can’t see Leeds winning 2 on the bounce - could be safe with one more point.

 

[allen]

One point further away from the relegation zone, one game less for the others to close the gap.

Not satisfied with that result at all, but we are grinding the points out still. We were never going to stay up with a flourish. It needs graft.

Probably why we are fourth bottom.

 

[R.Reddington]

Brighton have beaten Spurs, Arsenal and Wolves away recently.

They *should* beat Leeds!
