2024/25 Relegation Thread

[knowing your history]

….Broadhead and Robinson looking like 2 that have gotten away, terrific cross from the former to set up that goal.

Broadhead hasn't played much this season so don't think he'd improve much in the final third.

Goes without saying Antonee Robinson is pretty much everything you'd want from a modern FB. Lightyears ahead of Myko when he crosses the halfway line.

I have to say, my washing machine has never seen so much action

 

[MACCA75]

How are things going?

Yeah that was my point. Thought they recruited well in the summer and have a terrific manager.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

And now FFC have to play harder to just draw which opens them up to mistakes. While Ipswich takes the keys and drives the game the way they want it. FFC, like us, is now on the back of their heels and it’s a tough position to crawl out of.

We’ll be in the relegation zone going into next game. Nice one Dyche. Solid work.

Ipswich got three of their next four at home so could really do with them not winning this. One of those games is Southampton aswell.

 

[AirMo]

They got a bit of luck too. I thought it was an obvious red card. And that defending by Bassey was incredibly bad.

Tbh I didn’t. They weren’t that close to goal and there were plenty of Ipswich players nearby that could have got back.

Because they've defended resolutely (like we mostly do) and in one of their rare attacks have committed men forward and ban clinical in the box (not like us).

Everton defending well! Nope. Parking the bus and being lucky, yes!

But Thelwell, Brands etc

He was definitely going to get a 1 v 1 opportunity, he would have picked up possession about 20 yards out. Looked clear cut to me

Only positive of a one goal defeat yesterday is Wolves can't overtake with a draw.

 

[Blue peter]

3 weeks ago it looked likely we wouldn't enter the relegation zone at all.
Now every chance we will be in tomorrow night..
Surely we can't stand still and try not improve

It’s the age old folly of people becoming complacent because Deathcember didn’t turn out quite so bad up to the Forest game due to gaining unexpected points (even if only draws) when the litmus test was always going to be home games and games against the other clubs.

Complacency also in assuming other clubs won’t pull off surprise wins.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

And how are they even allowed to play this many players for Ipswich? They just got promoted! They certainly couldn’t have that much PL experience. How is this happening, Sean?? I’m just so confused.

….i think Broadhead was out for a few months with hamstring trouble.

 

[matty1878]

Yeah, just wait until Ipswich get in their latest defensive upgrade..
*adjusts glasses, reads notes*
Atalanta Legend, Benito Godfredo. That will stiffen up their leaky defence.

currently they’re BETTER
