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

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Why teams like Wolves even exist in this league…not a single local player…

Their owners are reds, so they're not getting points from this.

Why do the Wolves players look like they’re running in porridge. I’ve never seen a slower team in my life

Totally agree, they're a joke

 

[barneygumble]

See the commentator was desperate to try and involve Everton in the relegation scrap argument there in Liverpool Vs. Wolves

"Lots of teams in and around Wolves also battling for survival who Wolves will face on March and April....

Everton, Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton all to come, where Vitor will be desperate to get some points".

Didnt mention West Ham, Spurs or United who were above tho

We're looking up sorry.

Must be a West Brom fan doing the Wolves fixtures...they've got Bournemouth away next! They seem to go months without ever playing anyone in bottom half or in average form.

One of the good things about not being in relegation battle is actually wanting them to get beat when they play teams near the bottom.

Wanting them to win to do us a favour has been horrible last few years.

A lot of people talked about Wolves have too much talent...

Again, they DID, two years ago. Then they sold it all and had few real replacement, they have a real chance of going down.

Please banish the name’s Allardyce, Benitez and Dyche to the worst period in our history, never utter them again.

Still feels like a bizarre collective fever dream having that arse pipe in our dug out. Makes me shudder to think of it.

This picture tells a very hopeful tale. We have pulled away from the relegation zone, but the teams that were around us have hardly picked up any points at all. Can’t see any of them going on the kind of run that would put us in any trouble.

Hopefully my friends said the same to me think i just want it confirmed, is more because of the past few seasons going close made me this way. I do feel more confident just back of my mind is still looking.

The bottom clubs would need an impossible turn around in form that just won’t happen. Like Ipswich. They show flashes and then give it up in the second half or can’t hold a lead. If they didn’t have Delap they’d be down in the basement with Southampton.

Which is why I have been saying for the last 3 years, it doesnt matter what the other teams do, it only matters what we do.

People spending their weekends praying no mark teams get beat was crazy.

It is a tough time feeling joy when that’s how it’s been for so long. Always looking down and hoping other clubs lose instead of up and controlling your own destiny.

A comparison table came up on my Insta feed showing Bournemouth rise and after 25 games in 22/23 they were only on 21 points. Think Forest were similar. Both had really strong Aprils and were both safe before final day so it can happen.

Leicester have Southampton and Ipswich at home in final four games so they're probably the best bet of to get around 30/31 points in the end.

Fair point. Of the teams at the bottom I think Ipswich would be the most likely to go on a run. That’s why we need to keep picking up points and stacking wins.
