2024/25 Relegation Thread

After amassing 48 points last season here we are trying to rationalise teams below us losing as a great result and hoping the points tally to stay up is as low as possible again. What’s happened here?
He over achieved last season mate and this season is normal because the fans expect too much, players are crap, the problems existed before he came and we never got beat by the RS. ;)
 
I remember when this fella was flavour of the month.

What he says here is inevitable.



Lopetegui saw what was about to happen there and got off.

You can't take a team on it's arse and gut it and expect to be anywhere other than the bottom.

We need to finally invest and spend in January.


Regardless of Wolves sold/replaced their squad is far too good to be in the bottom 3. He's just underperforming with them.
 

We've probably had enough game now to see that we are in the right place in the table - it's a trend, not a blip - either way.

Scoring from open play will continue to be an issue with our fit players - maybe Broja and Chermiti can make a little difference.

Could a new manager or player bounce us up a bit ? Obviously it could do the same to those below too.
 
You’ve tarted that up a bit to sound like we’re extremely lucky.

We’re where we probably should be in the table, could be a few higher, could be a few lower

All this trying to rationalise every point we’ve got as a lucky fluke is ridiculous.

As is aid after the Wolves game, this is the only fanbase I know that has people trying to convince others a 4-0 win was lucky.

The very fact I’m posting in a relegation thread means everything is obviously not alright, hasn’t been for years but as I said I believe we’re capable of moving away from the 4 below us.

I dont really want to talk about luck either way. How you're performing is a better indicator and we havent performed most of the season. We've beaten nobody above us for that reason. And we're about to play all of the top 5.
We've underperformed. The first impression of reading your post was theres nothing to see here we've been ok but could have had a better touch of luck.
Thats not what ive seen.

As he says, he took them from 39 points and they've done nothing but have to sell.

They're always going to be in a relegation scrap. Lopetegui didn't want to be left with the can.

They need results from their next 2 because, contrary to the narrative that they'd had hard games - we're reaching half way into the season and you play everyone twice. Check their fixtures after the next 2.

It’s not contrary to the narrative at all though is it? We play 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th in our next 4 games and they play 19th, 16th, 13th and 11th. Then we’re at the half way point. So so far they’ve objectively had tougher fixtures than us. So you’re right, let’s very much see where we both are at the half way point. Personally I’m gulping at the prospect.

I mean I haven’t mentioned their fixtures, merely their squad. I don’t think we have a bottom 3 squad and I’d swap ours for theirs in a heartbeat.

I think a lot of wolves fans were surprised they did ok last season. At the start they all thought they were going down

Quick look and it seems they have spent £100 - £150 million the last two seasons.

‘there’s nothing to see here’?

Its a relegation thread.

You may need to revise your impressions.

‘But ultimately you get what you get’

‘Despite our many limitations’

‘I think it puts us ahead of the 4 teams at the bottom (hopefully)’


Did you read any of it? Its basically saying we are where we deserve to be and hopefully that’s better than the 4 teams below and you’ve read that as ‘nothing to see here’, Christ.

And some of here would advocate for us to do exactly what Wolves have done. Gut the squad out and replace with young potential.

It doesn't always work out.
