Relegation

[Cool_Blue]

We don't create good chances. We are a truly awful team stripped of any creative talent by our previous manager who was backed to the hilt.

Gordon has no end product. Townsend is our most 'creative' player out of sheer quantity, not quality. Gray is not creative either.

This is a worrying aspect. Gordon is a real trier, he is almost carrying the team atm, but his finishing is currently poor, hopefully it will improve with experience. Richarlison is hit and miss, DCL has lost his way this season, so just where are the goals going to come from? Our midfield, such as it is, contribute hardly anything. Will Gray be back for Wolves? I hope so.

Possible points deduction for breaking FFP. Surely this can not be done this late into a season? Start of next season would give us a chance.

 

[Cool_Blue]

Talk Sport just mentioned we could be due a points deduction! they never elaborated before I got to work, anybody know what this is all about?

It’ll be for the pitch invasions this Sunday when we lose to Wolves

It was great in the old days when you could fling your cushion onto the pitch

 

[dan7787]

The FFP points deduction decision will be made at the end of the season, phew!

 

[Bebeto]

The FFP points deduction decision will be made at the end of the season, phew!

Which means that only we could get relegated but facing live in the championship with points deduction...so in essence fighting to stay in the championship...

It's rubbish.

We wouldn't have sanctioned transfers in Jan if we'd been hitting FFP.

It's all based on the assumption that Uncle Uzi was pumping millions into the club and now he's not. The USM deal was up in the summer and same with Cazoo, so all income and outlays have already been accounted for.

If we don’t win the next 2 in a row we’re down, and I don’t think we win either because we’re terrifyingly bad.

If we win neither I'd agree, but we don't need to win both. I'd take 4 points right now no question

That's alright then for a moment there I thought we were in trouble

We need to beat one of Wolves or Newcastle to hang in there. I don't think winning both of those is essential because we have other winnable games and 3 wins MIGHT be enough.

 

[2xpetes]

Too many chiefs and not enough Indians on our back room squad.Sending mixed messages?

 

[Zeitgeist]

I think we need to win both personally. This team needs some confidence that it can get results over the line.

We are a mess of a football club.

goodison needs to become an absolute cauldron, no doubt it will. The players on the pitch need to saviour it as it will be the last time many of them deserve to play under such support.
