2024/25 Relegation Thread

After our nightmare start, and easier games coming up we will be fine

This squad is nowhere near relegation fodder.

We have a lot of players that can get goals.

10 goals in 10 games so far. Let’s hope those goals, if they arrive, win games and are not consolation goals in defeats.

Actually quite hilarious to see the Dyche fans that were insisting 11th/12th was their expectation through the summer, having to do a hard pivot and change the bar of acceptance to 17th place and 36 points by November.

We picked up points against all of them last season.

We'll be bubbling away just above the relegation spots for much of the season. But we have the players who can get goals...and goals determine who goes down or not. And we have Branthwaite to come back in.

Relegation doesn't even enter my considerations anymore. It's just not an issue.

This is a contradiction.

Any idea when these players are going to start chipping in some of these goals because the last couple of games we don`t look like we do.

I’m not flapping about relegation at all. I believe our next manager will have us comfortable. If Sean Dyche is still our manager in February then I’ll be joining you in here flapping about Ipswich’s results.

I am counting the days until January, if we make some genuine smart purchases we should be able to enjoy our final few months at Goodison instead of the potential of another Bournemouth final day which I think would be too much for the players this time with the added pressure of going down in the final year of Goodison.

I think the first priority for the new owners should be to remove this manager before we even start thinking about buying players. I don’t want to see any Dyche approved signings brought into this squad.

Beto and Michael Keane in the last 10 minutes is our plan to get goals.

Two fullbacks and a playmaker, ship Beto off to County Road and then get another striker in.

Ready now for the part where people desperately try to convince themselves that our initial 12 games don't really matter because we'll rise to the occasion in December against the best teams in the league.

We may already have done, if Broja comes good. Signing him on deadline day shows that the management team weren't happy with Calvert Lewin and Beto. Hopefully a good piece of forward planning.

I still think at least 12th and i really am not a Dyche fan.

If it stays as tight mid table as it is now a win/loss could move you several places at the season's end.

We will not be relegated.
