Relegation 2022/23

[Shibbywiggles]

I think Forest not winning was huge. If Saints lose tomorrow I would be confident of finishing ahead of both of those. Unfortunately there is no clear third team

Yeah if they stop picking up home results we’ll finish above them

Hate all this. Stressful af being in relegation scraps two years straight

Same here mate. I would give anything to go back to mid table mediocrity with the final games of the season being meaningless. To think i was disgusted with us back then and now i have been driven to being mostly just apathetic about the entire club and football in general really. Really sad times.

We currently average 1.21 points per game at HOME, whilst only gaining 0.64 per game AWAY.

With that in mind, based on our final 10 games (5 home, 5 away), we'll pick up 6 points at HOME and 3 AWAY. That would have us finishing the season on 35 points.

Something has to change. All teams below us (except Southampton) have games in hand - we need to win probably 2 away from home cause we won't win more than maybe 2-3 at home.

With Dyche we have 11 from 8 games. If we keep this up we will have 14 points from the last 10. That will put us on 40 points. It’s easy to play with stats.

It's difficult to assess the overall impact of today's results. Unfortunately if Wham win tomorrow v Soton we will be back in the bottom 3 so we are going to need a draw minimum on Monday to stay above water.

The teams down there playing each other ultimately means a couple will be picking up points. With only a couple of points separating teams down there there’s no breathing space - season on a knife edge - a win v spurs would be absolutely huge for us.

Leeds vs Forest on Tuesday, if Forest lose they're a cert to go down imo

There`s always one team that goes into a death spiral and right now, that team looks like being Leicester.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Not a great day. The Bournemouth result is particularly unhelpful

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Would like a huge confidence boosting win for Villa tonight against Chelsea; they play Leicester on Tuesday.

 

[davek]

A precarious spot alright but I do think the stars are aligning for us.

Defo mate.

That late equaliser for Wolves has relegated Forest IMO.

Their fixtures are non-winnable IMO.

S'ton
Forest...

...we just need one more to go with those two now.

 

[davek]

Possible bonus if B'mouth get it of it: last game of the season for us.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

It’s horrible being in this position but I’m less worried this season than last season because of Dyche.

From 8 tough fixtures, Dyche got us 3 wins and 2 draws and here’s a quick reminder of Lampard’s last 8 games…

 

[Ring master]

with all the teams playing each other by the bottom, your always going to have people thinking different ways like today - there is to many games getting played by the bottom teams against each other to make you think certain games went great for us

 

[nsno-chris]

If this team does this, and that team does that, and we do this and then this goes there and that goes here

We’ll be safe

Big chance for Leeds really. Today was always going to be a write off and I think team selection said as much. Wins at home to Forest and Zaha less Palace in next 7 days and they'll be on 32 points so pretty much a win away from safety.

 

[Heratic75]

Said it earlier mate, goal difference is going to play a big part this season.

Apologies your correct Leicester have dropped in. My bad.
