2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[Eggs]

That's only @Eggs who thought he was the second coming of Kevin Ratcliffe!

….that’s true. We were desperately in need of pace and after a very good start (he got a couple of England caps) his form fell away. It was in one of those England games I immediately realised his limitations in possession at that level.

He was ok for us but not as good as I hoped.

 

[DanB90]

Is Godfrey having a good game?

 

[Runub]

If Wolves lose then we will be 4 points ahead again with a game in hand. Obviously we don't want to just have a breathing space and we want to be able to push forward but that would be huge.

Brighton next but then Leicester is obviously a massive game we simply must win

 

[knowing your history]

Imagine these without Delap

They lost 4-0 at home to Newcastle without him so yes would be relegated without question as he can create chances himself and get them up the pitch in tighter games.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Imagine these without Delap

He's definitely the difference.

He's the focal point.

Stop him,stop them.

I was 70% confident we would stay up before this weekend I'm 80% now. It could obviously all change in the next few weeks. But Ipswich are poor, Southampton are down and if Leicester get docked points we should be fine with a bit of breathing space too.

Goodbye Ipswich back to the league you belong to, and take that misery song writing ginger tosser with you.

Man the match for me.

To be fair Ratcliffe didn't look great for his first few games, so Godfrey matched him for that bit

Ha ha! "Alan Brazil, can you hear me? Your boys took a hell of a beating."

Ipswich are, as others have suggested, the new Luton.

They might pull out a decent result here or there, but their overall trajectory is clear.

Not according to some of our fans.

I remember when Southampton got a plucky 3-2 defeat to Liverpool and a section of our support were using that to claim we were the worst side in the league.

In reality we are comfortably better than the bottom 3 and shouldn't even be near the relegation fight. Dyche's management put us there this season, as well as a lot of poor performances and mistakes from the players.

With Moyes, hopefully he will pull us away from being discussed in the same category as the likes of Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich who are all terrible sides.

100% Matt.

But we should start looking up now and chase some of those teams down.

you think we can? they’res a bit of a gap but hopefully this will galvanise us now

and we can stay up

We have that game in hand too, and sure, they're not great some of them above us
