Relegation 23/24 Thread

[blue to the bone]

it is when they wanna win the league

We stopped them doing that by drawing at Goodison a few years back too

 

[GoldenToffee]

We’ve drew 5 out of the last 6 at home with this lot mate so not a formality.

I'll actually be with Dyche on this one - bore them to death. The team picks itself if fully fit for the rest of the season:

Pickford; Coleman Tarkowski Branthwaite Mykolenko; Harrison Onana Garner McNeil; Doucoure; DCL

It may change once or twice with Young over Harrison or Gueye over Garner, but that ought to be it for most of the games.

Chelsea and esp Liverpool will come at us, but we've shown many times that we can withstand pressure on the back line. We'll get chances in every game, and this might just be the perfect time for DCL to have scored (doesn't matter how) 2 in 2.

hope your right

If we draw with Luton and Forest and beat either Brentford or Sheffield United and draw the other that would see us safe

 

[jazzy]

We’ll secure our premier league status when we beat Sheffield Utd in the penultimate game

We will have to because we sure as hell aren't getting anything at Arsenal

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

A lot will depend on how Luton get on.

From press reports, it sounds like they were played off the park in the first half by Bournemouth and should have conceded way more than just the one goal before their comeback.

They have done well to get the points they've got considering they have so many injuries.

Just hope, for our sake, other sides are more clinical than Bournemouth against them.

Tom Davies hat trick incoming.

 

[COYBL25]

As said to you weeks ago, when you had us relegated, and beat before whichever game it is. We actually rarely lose the home derby - We all know we never usually win, but we never usually lose either

He has us relegated every year after the first game of the season

Luton would their 1st game in 12 saturday, since that 4-0 v Brighton. only their 2nd win since boxing day. They can play as well as they want, but it wont auto mean points. The way theyve been talked about, as attacking as they can be, you would think they had won week after week

 

[JimmyK]

Unfortunately I think this deduction is going to have a demoralising effect on the squad especially coming straight after the first win in ages almost making it feel like they didn’t actually win. 8 points is a lot to lose I was very confident without any more points being taken but I’m not now.

 

[JamesEFC]

There’s always crazy results in the run in, unfortunately the others will pick up points when we don’t expect them to also.

As long as we don’t lose at Luton I think we’ll be fine.

 

[Ring master]

Its going to be a big weekend in a few weeks, as most weeks will be, but when we play Forest. Its Luton v Brentford

 

[Yarrgh]

We know how the land lies now

No more deductions this season

We’re on 27 and we’ll arguably need something somewhere between 33-36 to stay safe

Just got to get it done now somehow

Might not be the case.

 

[Ferguson1878]

For me the derby is different, anything can happen. Yes we will probably lose but you know they'll try and leave everything on the pitch, it's different at Arsenal, we barely even compete in those games.

I’d say the same about the derby past decade and a half , the records a disgrace another fixture where are players go to pieces in like arsenal away and chelsea

I mean we could of won it with the Coady goal last time.
