2024/25 Relegation Thread

[AsiaAsia82]

Can’t believe where we’d be if we hadn’t let those 2-0s slip away

 

[Victus]

Imagine we had 1 point from 9 games...I'm sure noone would be worried due to our upcoming 'winnable fixtures'

Relegation thread would be like Chernobyl.

 

[Eggs]

We will be OK as long as we don't get signalled out for a points' deduction again ?

…spot on, Joey, it was always going to be the critical factor. I get the impression the PL are hoping NOT to sanction teams this season, let’s hope that’s the case.

It would be incredible reading

It can be done by Dyche, in the last 4 seasons he's the only one who's come close.

You'd get us relegated if you had your way

dyche will do that if he has his so don’t worry

January isn't great either. Bournemouth away which is a massive mental block ground for this team then homes to Villa and Everton within four days (neither have lost at Goodison in ages) and then Brighton away although tend to do better down there than at home to them.

Winning yesterday was great but what gets mid table is back to back wins and then runs like 4 wins in 6 which we had this time last year.

It is possible with the fixture list as I fancy the chances of a win v Fulham much more with Joachim Andersen suspended. Southampton away should be another win similar to yesterday and West Ham might be in crisis mode when going there.

well i know we have to play them all etc

but we have to have a gap come xmas/jan don’t fancy having to get out the bottom 3 then

I'm no worried, not a chance we go down under Dyche

maybe not. but not a chance we go up neither

 

[deipnosophist]

the team's mental fragility/frailty remains its achilles heel. But we possess enough quality so as to not get too stressed about relegation (imho)

Why? He’s been relegated twice before.

I think we’ll be in the mix, hopefully a decent January for once will help.

Surely the key point is that the bottom 12 teams or so in the league are mediocre at best.

We’re not great but it’s all relative.

Right, people seem to always compare with a squad like Arsenal, when our current reality is how we compare with Bournemouth, Brentford, Forest. Being better than Bournemouth or Forest means you are 10th right now. Spending decades in the top half you forget about the gulf that exists.

Is that the premier+ premier league that's above the regular premier league we can get promoted to?

Just once wasn't it, was sacked with 8 games left of 21/22 so will never know if he'd have got the results needed.

Got a feeling Palace will win tonight. Any team would be happy playing Forest without Ward Prowse and Gibbs White and don't think there's a huge amount between the teams, just confidence levels.
