Relegation

[T LEAFE]

Yup

Even norwich away I can see us losing

6 pointer that in 2 weeks time
Could decide who finishes rock bottom

 

[Arteta2391]

Might as well be with Benitez in charge

Current bottom 3/4 are still too bad even for us to finish below. If I'm proved wrong about that I'll be surprised.

One of them put five past us not so long ago.

They did, but they've been as bad if not worse than us since.

Problem is if we get close, points wise, to the bottom three I can see this ‘team’ crumbling as they are not the bravest

Yep, you may be right. The main threats below us are from Newcastle if they get signings right and Burnley if they can get Cornet on the pitch more (although he's off for a month or so now). I still just think with us we will pick up enough unexpected points (Arsenal/Chelsea being examples).

 

[MACCA75]

Haha no chance.

You were still talking up us finishing in the top 4 about 2 weeks ago..

 

[RomanReigns]

We won’t get relegated

For context after 19 games last season Fulham had 13 points, West Brom 11 points and Sheffield United 5 points

Burnley still have 2 games in hand but are on 11 points and Watford have a game in hand but are on 13 points

It’s following a similar trajectory as last season. 28 points and a -25 goal difference would have been enough to stay up last season. I would say 30 is the magical mark this season which means we have to win another 2-3 games and get a few draws. If we can’t manage that with a 500 mil squad then we deserve to go down

 

[sageyefc]

been bottom of the form table since week 4, dangerous path we’re on

Yup

The arrogance of some on here to think we can’t get dragged into this is baffling

Arrogance and Apathy

Death to any team in our current situation

Leicester is worrying next week, they could put 3-4 past us easily.

I don’t even see us beating Norwich away tbh. Based on our form I’m surprised Newcastle cancelled last weeks match. I imagine the bottom 4 are dying to play us right now.

If we don't get well against Norwich, we're not getting well.

This is probably the #1 reason to make a move sooner rather than later. CBA about Leicester or the cup game, but the next five after those fixtures are critical because it gets very hard to see opportunities to pick up all three points after that. Going to Watford needing a win in a true relegation six-pointer would be an enormous amount of pressure, and this side seems to play better with house money than they do when carrying the weight of expectations.

Think we might beat Leicester. Who I believe are missing all their strikers
