2024/25 Relegation Thread

[MikeH72]

That has put the cat very much among the pigeons to be fair.

We must sack this manager before we waste any more games.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

So in the relegation battle.
Spurs batter us 4-0 and give palace and ipswich their only wins.
Cheers spurs

Is it reasonable to assume that with the fixture list we have in December we can enter 2025 in 20th place?

Well done Ipswich, proof that even with a bunch of championship players, you can go to away grounds and win

Just as long as you don’t go with a defeatist attitude and make your team absolutely petrified of the opposition and have an actual plan for attack

thought it was the players we had chris?

not dycheola

we will be.

I’d say 19th is more probable. Can’t see Southampton getting two wins to over take us.

I think you mean that “even with a bunch of championship players, you can go to away grounds and play for 0-0”

Because that’s what I’ve been reading on here

 

[Davideeyore]

Dyche will be our saviour as he takes relegation fodder Everton to the safety of 16th.

No you got it wrong, it’s the players aren’t good enough when we lose, but the manager deserves credit for when we win. Simple formula for the Dychehards.

Bottom 2 in a week or two. This thread will take off.

 

[Vintage]

In a pickle if things don't change. The teams at the bottom are that bit better than last season and we have been worse this season compared to last

 

[Daytripper]

I think the small time thinking goes beyond the manager. It suits him if anything.

Don’t forget we have had a supposed billionaire investor talking about “expected defeats” at one point.

 

[Victus]

Will TFG go through with it if it looks a bit ropey in March I wonder, wouldn't be spending 600m+ on a gamble if it was me like

 

[paultheblue]

We are in trouble and sleepwalking towards a lot more trouble.

Time to act is here.

This is right there seems to be an attitude that we have got out of trouble before so we will be fine.
The difference is this time the manager knows he is going and so do several of the players .
We need to act now before it is to late , I know we are in the middle of a takeover but if the takeover is nearly done FKN must be talking to Moshiri about the Dyche situation.
My worry is that the deal is far from done with big hurdles still to overcome.

Of course it’s the players Matty.

If you go into every game playing a 4-2-3-1, actively look to concede possession, only play for goals from set pieces, do not commit any fullbacks forward or players in support of your only striker. Then proceed to make the same substitutes every week, at around the same time regardless of score without actually changing the tactics, then clearly this is all on the players

 

[Blue Willy]

We will find out in a month or two. Probably.
