The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[everton1953]

Getting back to the present, my love of football received a boost watching the RS scraping a draw against MU. What a game, what splendid entertainment. If you avoid watching Dyche's team there is still enjoyment to be had.

I can see Leicester changing managers again if they keep up their poor form and if Wolves continue picking up points since their managerial change, surely it’ll force the hand of TFG to act.

 

[Wat Tyler]

I've just seen a stat which surely isn't true..

We only won 8 games in the whole of 2024..!!!

Wtf!!!

One away win since December 2023.

Scored in two of our last ten games.

Fifteen goals in nineteen games.

Countless games we haven’t even troubled the opposition keeper.

One egomaniac as manager.

 

[davek]

You said the other day we have no chance of relegation.

You have nailed your colours to the Dyche mast, time to jump ship Dave, there’s leaks all over the show.

I dont feel especially concerned at this stage.

I see Ipswich today in their 'purple patch' of 2 matches and they look naive and flakey. S'ton are gone. Leicester need to destabilise again with another managerial change IMO in an effort to get clear of danger. Wolves? Let's see if they maintain the managerial bump.

your a lunatic

 

[windymiller]

Do you know how many draws?

Loads. 3 of them give you as many points as a win. @Saint Domingo told me, he's very wise.

I think anyone who wants the turmoil of a managerial change is a lunatic.

Let's just all calm down eh and see what happens in the next 4 games or so?

So Villa (H), Spurs (H), Brighton (A), Leicester (H), what's an acceptable tally from those games, Dave? What's your minimum?

They should have never sacked Cooper. He would have kept them up, I think.

Considering the circumstances - he did a very good job at Forest, even if the football was pragmatic and uninspiring.

I think there is a lot to be said for a manager that understands the shortcomings of their side and is able to tailor their setup to get the most out of it.

I’m not sure Dyche can get much more out of this current crop. If he goes too attacking, as many seem to want teams will bypass then poor midfield and score at will.

6 minimum

I reckon 3 pts max ( win v Leicester)

 

[TEL]

So Villa (H), Spurs (H), Brighton (A), Leicester (H), what's an acceptable tally from those games, Dave? What's your minimum?

4/5

Draw to either Villa or Spurs, Villa being more likely and then beat Leicester.

Dyche will see 3 points, all from draws, as a great return from those fixtures. He’ll be setting up for a 0-0 in all of the first 3 as well.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Loads. 3 of them give you as many points as a win. @Saint Domingo told me, he's very wise.

That three draws gives the same number of points as win?

Sorry for telling you facts. I know you have problems with them.
