2024/25 Relegation Thread

What sort of gap out of interest. Currently four points but I'd be amazed if that isn't reduced by say Boxing day given the fixtures coming up.

There's some rank teams again this season.

S'ton and Ipswich are nailed on to be relegated. We just have to get in front of another one and we're ok.

The forward resources we have and the fact we have a defence that gets immeasurably strengthened with the inclusion of just one player is reason enough to be completely dismissive of relegation.

Some people need to feel that we will or could be relegated though.

I thought Southampton were terrible again for most of yesterday so I can't see the win sparking them off on a run. Ipswich blown up a couple of chances to win games in last six weeks so pretty confident now they'll go down.

It's just that one remaining spot that is concerning me as Leicester have far more resilience about them than Luton did last season to actually pick up points from games they don't play well in which has been the majority from what I've seen.

Palace just taken 4 from last 2 games so will be creeping up the bottom half now.

Basically to me the next month rests on how well Wolves do or otherwise with the kinder run of fixtures they have. Can't be losing to them again at Goodison surely.

I don't think there are that many bad teams in the league compared to last season tbh so relegation will only be from about five involved I think.

This squad is nowhere near relegation fodder.

We have a lot of players that can get goals.

Well it looks like we've lost two of the usual relegation candidates this season in forest and bournemouth.
The group for the drop looks smaller this year and im surprised anyone thinks we're not in it.
Wolves and palace are not this years sheff utd and Burnley. They've got it in them to climb the table.
We could have killed at least one off on saturday. But Sean Dyche's Everton decided to give Southampton their first win and clean sheet of the season.
Well done Dyche.

This relegation threat talk is just an alternative to the 'Get Dyche Out' shouts.

It's a dishonest assessment of our chances of relegation because of that.

In past seasons I've been concerned about relegation and said so. This season I have zero fears of it.

I find that a weird view because as stated a few of the clubs involved around the relegation area of previous years looked to have kicked on away from that. They've improved or are improving. Everton havent changed one single bit. Its the same approach and same tactics.
Im not seeing Everton much better than anyone in the bottom 6 tbh.
Everton might grind a few wins here and there. Thats the best we can hope for.

The whole discussion around relegation has been weaponised as an attack on the manager.

I cant take it seriously. It almost evaporated in the last few weeks when we went unbeaten. Now it's back again because we got extremely unlucky against Southampton.

To me it's all present-minded nonsense: 'analysis' based on the last 90 minutes.

We've just lost to the side who were bottom of the table without a win or a clean sheet all season. We're about a game away from being in the bottom 3 despite having a pretty decent set of fixtures so far.
There's no attack. Its a genuine discussion considering the above.
If you want to ignore it dont post on it.

I'm not ignoring it, I'm answering your questions. The trouble is you just want people to agree that we're under some desperate threat from relegation in order oust the manager.

Forest in the top 4 by the way. This is what happens when you show the minimum of ambition to be better. We refuse to sack one of the worst managers in our history. Levels as the kids say.

The Forest owner is not someone to be messed with and I doubt he has the patience for the trite nonsense Dyche peddles by way of excuses.

Want people to agree lol.
We've played 7 of the bottom 9.
You bang on about unlucky. Every other club has dispatched Souhampton this season and walked away with the points. But we're unlucky. Ok.
We're not playing well, in the bottom 5 and just had a demoralizing loss to a side who havent even kept a clean sheet until Everton popped into town.
When isn't it relevant to post.
