Relegation

[Goat]

We must beat Brentford, it’s a must win.

Still not yet, but soon.

 

[Axlswhk]

Going to bed. All these permutation is a mental torture.

 

[catcherintherye]

And Chelsea are much better than us

Yes. And we defeated Chelsea, while Leeds just got spanked by them. Theyve throw in the towel.

 

[catcherintherye]

Still not yet, but soon.

Yes. I mean we could very feasibly be in a position that a draw keeps us up.

 

[Aries]

I think we’ll probably have enough points already. Leeds might beat Brighton, it’s always a possibility, but I think they take a point at most. Same last day, a point at most at Brentford. That puts us safe even if we lose Sunday, lose next week again Palace, and then lose again against Arsenal Which isn’t going to happen.

 

[Wat Tyler]

We will batter then silly

We thought that tonight against a massively inferior side

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Why so? Theyve had a week off, and are clearly not on the beach. They are much better than Leeds.

Clearly not on the beach but Palace are? In the last four games those two teams have matched each other’s results. Across the season Palace are 3pts behind them with a game in hand.

It’s not inconceivable for Brighton to follow up a fantastic performance with a rubbish one, nor so for Leeds to pull a decent showing out of their proverbial.

We should have won tonight, no two ways about it. While that wouldn’t necessarily have made the weekend outcomes immaterial overall, it would have given us a buffer.

We’re at a point in the season where mentality plays a part and I think we’ve inflicted some psychological damage on ourselves by not having that buffer, as well as killing our momentum a bit. Interesting to hear what kind of voice the fans are in on Sunday if it’s 0-0 or worse after an hour.

Leeds have 24 players suspended and Burnley's centre backs are now their managers

Yet I'd bet you'd not feel confident of Everton beating either away. Correct?

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Wrong. Both Leeds AND Burnley would have to overtake us. And it's going to be tough for Burnley to win any of their remaining games, don't forget that.

It goes without saying that Burnley will get at least 3 more points in their remaining 3 matches.

 

[Gilbert..]

Yes. And we defeated Chelsea, while Leeds just got spanked by them. Theyve throw in the towel.

Just seen the leeds red card. Christ it was twice as bad as the arsenal one. He should get a ban on top of that red. Absolute career ending leg breaker that.

 

[kithnou]

It goes without saying that Burnley will get at least 3 more points in their remaining 3 matches.

Reading this thread the last few months, Burnley will win all 5 games from their 3 remaining.

 

[blue to the bone]

It comes from experience. Tiny little things. Like the amount of times we've strung 2 wins together in the past and then someone has started a 'how many points from the next 5 games' thread and we ended up getting 1/15.

Just, one game at a time.

I'm not sure how posting on a forum about potential transfers has any impact on the teams performance on the pitch.
Or anything written on a forum Been honest

 

[dholliday]

looks like the current bottom 3 (Leeds, Watford, Norwich) are staying there...just look at their form and goal-difference.

As crap as we are, those three are crapper.

Not expecting much of anything for next season, tho'. Aiming for mid-table seems to be the gist of it.

Thanks, Mosh.

Brighton have just annihilated United 5-0 though. They are playing really well. I haven't followed Palace enough, have their wins been against top 5/6 teams?

I'd rather play Palace than Brighton currently.

And of course it's not inconceivable. It's not inconceivable Leeds and Burnley win every game and we lose every game. On the balance of probabilities, Leeds look shot. I said a while back, theyd lose the 3 games they did, and its borne out. I dont see them winning another game, barring a freak incident (like the jammy red card at Wolves).

Tonight's result is underwhelming, but we didnt lose, kept another clean sheet etc. I expect us to probably win both games at home, and we will not be easy to play against on the final day for Arsenal either.

Leeds will be lucky to get three points so a tie in the last three should keep us up.
