2024/25 Relegation Thread

[kiss the crest]

I think at the moment we are on par with Southampton, I can't see anyone else. So at present it's who joins us 2 possibly Leicester, the rest are a level above.

All our hopes rest on Branthwaite, it's that simple, as this team will concead 2/3 goals a game

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Genuinely haven't seen a worse team than us this season.
We are gone.

Southampton are pretty bad like.. but yeah currently we're second worst.

Southampton will sack their manager anytime now and get a bounce...in the meantime while we'll hobble on.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

We'll do what we always to. Start picking up a point here and there after sacking the latest clown in the dugout. The new guy will help us achive a little purple patch around March/April that ultimately makes the difference for us stumbling over the line and staying up despite all our efforts to go down.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

We'll pick up soon.
With or without Dyche

 

[Milkman]

We'll be fine, the instability of the back four is killing us at the moment.

Besides needing Branthwaite back, Dyche needs either needs to make a solid RB of Garner or play Dixon because the constant change is not helping things. Too much loyalty shown to Coleman and Young who only let us down through injury or constant crapness.

In trying to distance myself from the car crash that's happening in front of my very eyes, I'm strangely relaxed about matters at the moment.
Maybe because we're battle hardened due to the last three seasons where we generally get what's needed at the end of the season. This time though it's me relying on the many number of years watching football and seeing clubs of all levels going on daft runs like we are at present.
I genuinely see us settling down and once we get a win we'll pick up and go on a run.
Needs to be done over next six weeks though.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Pinning a lot of our hopes on Branthwaite being fit is absolutely frightening.

God forbid he got a season long injury.

That would certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons.

I hate this type of negativity. Yes, we have lost 4 games, however two of them we went 2-0 ahead. I actually think we have looked ok in the last two games. However I would rather play poorly and win a game. But we aren’t second worst. There’s only been 4 games. I think after say 15 games you will get a better idea.

Not really bothered about the game against Southampton midweek apart from a win might be a confidence boost. Back to the PL we really need to win at Leicester and then Palace at home. Lose those two and the alarm bells will be ringing very loudly. Currently there are a lot of teams struggling to get points but they will eventually and we simply can not afford to get cut adrift in a losing rut that is difficult to escape from

Unfortunately it might be a false positive if we beat them with an unchanged side as they're absolutely crap - as bad as us - and it would give the manager another excuse to keep his mates in the side as they would be deemed to have reacted well to yesterday's defeat with an improved performance worthy of staying in the side against Leicester - where of course they'd revert to type and ship another 3 or 4 goals.

 

[Del-boy]

The longer it goes on, the harder it will be to get a win. Things can spiral. Doing the simple things, start to become difficult.

 

[johnjoeefc]

One positive for us is that I originally thought the league was stronger this year than last. But I actually now feel the likes of Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich aren't really any better than the like of Luton and Burnley were last season. Secondly the other teams down there like Palace, wolves and Brentford seem to be weaker too

 

[Walken]

I think we will be fine ultimately, but a good section of our fans deserve relegation. The hatefulness and ignorance expressed is deeply disturbing. They sound like MAGA folk

 

[trueblue84]

Why did anyone think anything other than relegation in our final season at goodison would happen?

It's the most Everton outcome.

 

[JJK]

Stick with him any longer than today and we go down. Concede at least 3 a game. Nobody can cope with that.
