2024/25 Relegation Thread

[Socistep2]

Last season we were effectively mid table whilst playing peak Dyche ball, all the luck injuries wise and set piece wise was going for us. We had a terrible xG and xGA (if not for blocks) and we rode our luck massively.

Very similar side to the one that struggled under Benitez, Lampard - there’s no quality in it. No athleticism, no pace, no technical quality.

Agree, if one position and player summarises the decline in quality for me over these years is left back, we went from a top 6 full back in baines, to a top 10 in digne to Myko who for me is a championship level full back, will no back up and no youth prospects

The reality is we have had a huge decline in net spend and with that quality

It’s like watching Villa when they went down.

I wonder if their fans were this kind to their players.

Villa actually gives me hope that the situation can improve, with the stadium bringing a huge ramp in revenue plus more high earners dropping off the wage bill at the end of the season

Whether or not that results in a relegation short term is 50/50 for me, I think if we'd been relegated a couple of years ago things could have been worse as the new stadium would have been a long way off still

Nope.

Aston Villa pair Brad Guzan and Joleon Lescott 'told their own fans to f*** off'

The row in the second half of the Premier League basement side's 1-1 FA Cup draw at League Two Wycombe prompted skipper Micah Richards to intervene

Love that. Rightly so in my opinion. Get behind them at the ground, give them pelters at the end if it isn’t good enough.

We are in a worse position points wise than we were for the last 3 seasons (15/14/14 ).
Add to that the players and manager seem to have all but thrown the towel in and don't see there futures at the club.
It is a very serious situation we have to beat Wolves on Wednesday as there looks like we are unlikely to get any more points in December.Hopefully as soon as the FKN takeover is done we will get a new manager in as make no mistake Dyche is taking us down.

I'm dreading the next 10 fixtures - if we get a point anywhere I'll celebrate it like winning the Cup
If we manage to score, I'll celebrate that too...
A team that turns up and gives the opposition a game? Please.

We are in deep doodoo
At what point does Dyche get the bullet?

bottom 3

bottom 3

For me we are 80% likely to be in the bottom 3 after these games, it all depends whether we can do enough in the remaining 16 fixtures to get out of it

 

[KMC]

There is clearly concern about where are in the table with the run of fixtures we've had... Even though after 13 games we are currently safe...

But My God... 13 games played... Seven of those games without scoring a goal?? SEVEN!!

The writing is on the wall...
