2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[Runub]

At the end of the day I saw nothing in Leicester’s performance today to send me into a panic about next week. They are a poor side who took advantage of a Spurs team going nowhere

 

[gonetomorrow]

It'll be a battle next week.

Seems Spurs have joined the relegation party as well then

Relegation zone is still the same number of points away as it was before the game. First result in weeks that hasn’t gone our way. Shame but not sure there’s any need to panic at this point, still nearly half a season left to play yet.

Technically that is not correct. Leicester are now on 17 points rather than the 16 Wolves and Ipswich are

If we win next week this thread will just turn to “yeah but next season we’ve only got 12 players on the books “

Just like last season when we got safe and everyone started saying we were going into administration. The GOT relegation thread will truly never ever die. Like cockroaches, there is nothing that can kill it off.

What? It literally is correct, Wolves are 18th on 16 points??

Spurs have some proper dodgy fixtures you know, they also play 3 of the bottom 5

 

[lieneverton]

You sound way too scared

I'm good, and delighted with the last 2 results. Just realistic that the job isn't done.

 

[mightymoyes]

Spurs will surely sack their manager this week.
Hopefully they appoint Dyche

 

[mikel_88]

Not best result but out of the three ipswich wolves leicester would be the team you woukd want to win. Is a lif for them next week but is up to us to turn up and win

 

[MichaelEFC96]

It'll be a battle next week.

Think it has a draw written all over it but we will need to want it more than them, they'll have a spring in their step after today.

Such is the level of discourse nowadays too, I imagine people will then go "oh so you think they'll finish above us then". Terrible straw man argument.

No, but we are not in a position yet to be taking things for granted.

Exactly this. I want to be positive, and I think we will be fine. But Moyes lost his first game at home. We almost threw a three nil lead last week and we parked the bus for 50-60 minutes yesterday. It's very fine margins. Still. We lose to dross like Leicester at home all the time.

I just want to be as far as possible from 18th so I can enjoy the end of the season and have a cup run.

Far too reasonable.

Beat Leicester and you your points tally starts to look a lot healthier, let’s you start looking up to catch some above you whilst denying a team below you a chance to close the gap. Regardless of what happens elsewhere you can only take care of you own business. We have a chance next week to nip this in the bud. Nothing guaranteed just yet though. It’s nice to have some faith back in our own lads to deliver on what’s needed.

Bonkers that so many people were more bothered about catching Spurs than trying to keep maximum gap to Leicester.

Not saying they're suddenly going to overtake us but it's just weird logic.

Why ? Some of us a more optimistic - that’s fine. I am looking to go past a few more teams. 12-14 come the end of season please.

I still think Leicester are pants, as are Soton, Ipswich and Wolves.

Which means that’ll be the last time anyone will score on them for awhile. And the last time their strikers are allowed beyond the center of the pitch.
