The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[blueblueskies]

if we get in this bottom 3 it’s worrying

we can’t get wins together never mind the odd win other clubs will know if they better us they have a chance

and we are already the bottom 6 getting cut adrift

who knows how bad it can get

remember 10
left at home liverpool/arsenal/city/united/villa/tottenham

add that to some tricky aways

Everyone down there has got to play all those teams. I’d rather be playing them at home than away

Back to hoping the current bottom 3 are as bad as the last two years were if we stay with Dyche in charge.

Yep. Problem is we are becoming as bad as the bottom three teams of the last few years

It's simple
Perm 3 from 4

Not convinced we will do better home or away

Not convinced we will do better home or away

We don't have much of a home advantage as we have a total inability to attack teams. The only advantage is more that the opponent isn't at home, as opposed to it making us play better.

3 wins bef new year is a straight on relegation form…so far Pickford carries the team..

Triangle of Sadness

Doucoure wins the race but can't pass a ball.
Tarkowski our captain shows no leadership.
Mykolenko utterly void of confidence

All three should be dropped but they'll walk into Bournemouth lineup.

 

[Wat Tyler]

In our last 9 games we have only managed to score in 2 of them. Utterly ridiculous.

That is not sustainable for a team who wants to stay up.

Walk is right!

It's amazing how mood can swing after one bad result, I was cautiously optimistic that we could get something yesterday after the 4 games before but we were poor yesterday

We are terrible in the final 3rd and if we make mistakes at the back, which all teams do, we struggle to get back into a game

Bournemouth is now a critical game for us, we need to get something, but it's a place we have a bad record at

Very sad and worrying when you have to rely on your goalkeeper to get you a draw as the forwards can’t score.

Do we have all of the big six to play at home, apart from Chelsea?

Surely that's better than having to play all of them away.

Bit confused about the argument that we've had a theoretically "easier" first half of the season than others.

We'd be better off playing the weakest teams at home and the best away as were likely to lose against the best teams anyway. We have less chance of beating even the weakest teams away.
Facing the big boys at home reduces our chances of gaining points.
