2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[Charles Hawtrey]

Moist must keep the focus on guaranteeing safety. I know everyone is feeling more comfortable but a few defeats could throw us back in the mixer. Likely not relegate us but at least start people chattering about its possibility again.
Sadly/Thankfully the current manager os better than the previous one.

Weekend "rival" Fixtures

Leicester v Arsenal - COME ON ARSENAL
Southampton v Bournemouth
Villa v Ipswich
Kopites v Wolves - COME ON WOLVES

If we can grab some at Palace, I think we are about 6/7 points to safety.

….Wolves are a funny old team, certainly capable of scoring a few goals in that match.

Over the last 5 games, Spurs, Wolves, Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich have all lost 4 of them. Ipswich have 1 point from those 15 available. The others all have 3.

We are the only team in the bottom section with any momentum whatsoever. Turning the ship around is the toughest job. None of them have even started to do that.

Just keep fighting for every point.

Their defence is leaky under pressure, can see them getting thumped at Mordor.

Surely West Ham, Spuds and United are the fixtures we should be keeping an eye on every week.

There’s no chance it’s going to take more than 35 points to survive this season. Leicester are currently on pace to finish on 27. Just 30 could very realistically keep someone up this year.

AS the table stands today I'd say the top 8 are better teams than us, and the bottom 4 are worse than us. The gap either way is pretty large. So our target range is between 9th and 16th. On our day we could beat any team in that group and are very capable of taking points off the top 9 too as we proved wednesday.

A point tomorrow would be a good result for us.

No comment.

Not over yet

In my world, it is. If you want to spend 3 months crapping yourself then enjoy.

Can we change the title of this thread to something involving Everton

4 wins and we're safe. bottom 3 aren't getting above 38 points

tbh it could be 2 wins and a draw. i cant see them getting above 32

Can’t see them getting over 30

While I think it’s right that we don’t think it’s all over and get complacent, I have to say it is getting harder for me to envisage us being anything other than a premier league club come next season. Injuries haven’t been kind to us and we are down to the bare bones for tomorrow, but we’ve shown ourselves to be a lot more resilient with setbacks since Moyes’ return. The derby performance shows that even after losing Ndiaye, we didn’t let our heads drop and still put in a good performance and got a draw out of it. We won’t go down playing like that and I still fancy our chances in the next few games, injury induced or not.
