2024/25 Relegation Thread

If we beat Ipswich next week in one of our easiest fixtures, everyone will relax for a bit. We can still play poorly and be terrible in the middle of the season, but the next 7 matches afford an easy opportunity to just pick up points and coast to 15th. Desperately need Branthwaite back to make a run.

Easy opportunity? We'll see about that - teams will be looking at that tonight and be licking their lips at playing us.

We absolutely need a cushion in place before our horror run starts. If we play like tonight we will not be winning many of those games.
 

We're gonna be ok this season. We're rancid but so is half the league. I've seen enough this season (even in the worst games) where we've offered enough to stand out from the worst teams. Its gonna be a long slog again and we'll probably finish around 14th at best but we'll still be fine and who knows, if the takeover happens and we get some money come jan we might even be able to fight our way to the dizzy hights of 12th place and the like. I'm really calm about things this year.

Was far worse palace first half was it a great performance by us no, but was in the game that doucoure offside goes maybe we go on to win the game. Adding on that again it was a different back for again, is a great chance to pick up some points after the break and get ahead of a team around us. Just have to take it one game at a time and pick up points, both palace and wolves have problems so far aswell.

Every team will be looking at fixtures against us, especially at home, and thinking it's a great opportunity to pick up points. Ipswich should be an "easy opportunity", as the OP said, but I agree that that is a very unlikely scenario given the way Dyche sets us up. We may well win, Ipswich are not a good side, but it'll be a tense match like all of the matches we pick up points in because we never kill off teams and always look like letting advantages slip away.

Dont most teams think this about other teams anyway i dont see a massive difference between alot of teams in this league
 
I see no reason why we shouldn’t be going to Ipswich looking to win
I’ve got one for you…….

Name an easier opportunity
Difficult to say any games an easy opportunity. Bournemouth, Leicester and Southampton (cup) were what many would say easy opportunities and look how that turned out. Teams will attack and try to win because we can’t score, that includes Ipswich and the ones after that, especially away.

It's the easiest on paper, but watching them in the match matches so far, they look better than Burnley or Sheffield last season.

I don't expect them to be fodder...
