2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[Eggs]

You fear for Southampton you really do.

…I don’t.

I’m thinking 5 more wins could see us ok. Doesn’t matter who we have to play, we need 5 more wins.

Countdown.

6 points clear of Leicester, really 7 with the goal difference and a game in hand ( easy one too ).

Hopefully a thrashing for Ipswich now and damage their goal difference even more.

Another couple of wins in the next couple of weeks should give us a lot of breathing space

 

[windymiller]

February and March are big months for us. April looks horrid and I really don't want to be going into another May needing big results. Hopefully the squad can take confidence from today and also get a couple of additions to pull us clear before Easter.

 

[Miked1e]

Good news…. Godfrey starting today for Ipswich…. Can see this being 5+ goals for City!

 

[MikeH72]

City and Chelsea for a perfect weekend now please.

Are you and Dave taking turns?

Told you it was a game we needed to be winning and should have expected to win given their issues. They were there for the whooping and we really should have put them to the sword, and would have if not for appalling finishing in the second half and a midfield going absent for the last third of the game.

Brighton away we should expect a tight game as long as we don't defend like we did at the end there, and Leicester you have to fully, fully expect three points given their form and what's at stake. Obviously most fans would be delighted with 6 points from Spurs/Brighton/Leicester.

5 more wins would see us easily safe. There’s no “could” about it. Personally I think 3 wins and a handful of draws is safety.

Southampton on course to finish the season with 10 points.

They are averaging one point every 4 games. Astonishing levels of cack.

So we have no issues?

You must be so disappointed we won.

I'm made up, and I told you we should have been winning that and we did.

We still have their 2nd win to give them yet, mind.

 

[ToffeeTim]

A couple of other results in our favour here today and tomorrow would really help.

If we could preserve a 4 point gap, then that is something to build on. Also puts less pressure on that derby game in hand.

I said in here a couple of days ago we need to beat the 4 below us and pick up 2 'unexpected wins'.

There's one of the two, get another quickly and then we might even give ourselves room to slip up against one of those beneath us.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

How the heck did these beat us, and knock us out of the cup? Shocking.

 

[Clarky cat]

Team actually playing to score goals, in wins a game shocker…
