2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[Miked1e]

Is it just me, our upturn in form or the state of the other teams... but that April isn't looking as horrific as it once did.

Minimum 3-4 points out of our March games, then realistically should be getting something in Arsenal and City home games with the odd point away from home in the other 3 (5-7 points).

Then finishing off with 2 home wins and likely 2 away losses at the end (Sure someone statistically will tell me otherwise, but Fulham away and Newcastle away never our best results).

14-17 points out of our remaining 11 games / 33 points is very doable and as I write it also thinking slightly on the pessimistic side.

I think even a conservative guess of a point per game on average puts us on 43 points which is a decent return considering where we were.
A lot of it will depend on what players we get back, we looked dead on our feet at times last night, most sides with 9 players out will struggle.

Think we have a decent chance of staying up even if we lose all remaining 11 games.

I think good thing now is we have 9-10 days till our next game, and we only have 2 games in March. So would expect at leastcome April we will have a 90% squad back, minus only the major injuries of the likes of Broja and Mangala, and any we invariably pick up... just because.

We're top and that's all on Seanie.

Suck it Moist...

Completely agree. I think on 32 we are home and dry.

Keep saying that Ipswich and Leicester will only get to max 25-30 points.

I find it Impossible to not know any score, as the game is going on. No chance i could watch a programme, going many hours without knowing a score of any match

Started out accidentally, I watched our game on IPTV, at the end of the game I thought 'im going to watch MOTD tonight, so, I switched off the telly, got my guitar out for half an hour or so and then watched MOTD. I may do the same on our next night match round of games.

I think Moyes aim will be to equal or beat last season’s unadjusted points total of 48.

Its a good benchmark to aim for. I think we might fall a few short in the end though, unless we keep up this kind of form until the end of the season.

 

[TrailerTrash]

Maybe it depends on what part of Leicestershire but my MP is a tory and most of the locals are.

It's a dull a remark as those who sing 'sign on'.

Birds of a feather.

With Dyches approach to football we would be still down there mate ....

Good target especially where Dyche left us this season.

What was it..... left us on 17 points after 19 games?

Last season we were 18 points after 19 games (26 points adjusted).

 

[Lanolin]

I can't get my head round people still talking about it as if it's a genuine issue. Ipswich and Leicester have taken 5 points between them in 2025, Leicester have only scored in 1 of their last 6 games, they could play another 38 games and not catch us.

 

[Joey66]

Dyche gave Southampton 3 points ....... the bottom 3 will be relegated IMO -
