Relegation 2022/23

[Mikey O]

A good night for the Blues - things are looking a little brighter

 

[catcherintherye]

Just seen Forest's next 7 fixtures they surely aren't picking many points up from those haha

Given their form, hard to see any wins there, and in all possibilities it looks like 5 defeats. They're done.

 

[Harryflashman]

That's them gone then, just when at one point they were looking to start picking it up.

They’ve got 1 win in the last 10 , they’re the worst performing team using that benchmark and they’ve got the worst little run of fixtures ahead of them . They’re bang in trouble .

 

[Lob]

After this weeks fixtures, It is nice to see us in 16th place with most of the teams around us now on the same amount of games played, at least 3 with much worse goal differences and with us having a not too bad run of games coming up after the Manure game. Keep on with the same performances since Dyche took over and we will be fine I think.

 

[catcherintherye]

Utterly daft decision.

They lost their nerve.

Anyone sacking their manager next would go for Rodgers. Completely stupid, and today has shown hes not the problem.

 

[Aries]

Crikey those fixtures for Forest are horrendous. We’ve gotta be confident we can finish ahead of them, Bournemouth and Southampton at the very least.

 

[JohnRoss23]

We need to get into that other group now: Leeds, Wolves and West Ham. Leave S'ton, B'mouth, Leicester and Forest to it to fight it out to sort out who takes the drop.

Thoughts on Wolves, Dave? Just took a peek at their remaining fixtures. Could be tricky for them…

 

[Baggzio]

I don’t really disagree but Leicester haven’t won in 6 , they’re down their on merit and their players have constantly dismissed their in a relegation battle . They’re sleepwalking into it , forest are the only team close to them in terms of bad form and about to go into a really tough run .

Long may this continue

I think the telling sign is they’re going after someone like Benitez, in other words someone who’ll stay on and manage them in the Championship if they go down.

I know a club being defeatist when I see one, lord knows we’ve experienced it enough ourselves.

Saturday night:

S'ton, Forest and either Leicester or B'mouth will be in terrible trouble.

 

[blue to the bone]

Leeds back in the champions league spots
And Leicester have still way too much quality I see !

 

[MACCA75]

Leicester’s next game away at City as well. I like many have been saying they will be okay but they will have to show something soon if they are to get out of this.

The Play Bournemouth at home before that. At least it’s looking bleak for whoever loses.

 

[Kylito]

What do we want from Leicester v Bournemouth then Saturday?

If Leicester lose that then they'd be on 25 points with 30 played and away at City next game. They'd be cut adrift and looking doomed.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

The only thing that worries me is that they’ve pulled out some mad results this season. I think Cooper is a very good manager and can maybe get a miracle out of them then again they could also be absolutely dead in just 2 or 3 games time.

Cooper is a very good manager, you’re right. I’m just not sure he’ll be their manager much longer. That owner is nuts.

 

[Bebeto]

What do we want from Leicester v Bournemouth then Saturday?

If Leicester lose that then they'd be on 25 points with 30 played and away at City next game. They'd be cut adrift and looking doomed.

A draw would be nice...

 

[davek]

Thoughts on Wolves, Dave? Just took a peek at their remaining fixtures. Could be tricky for them…

Yes, they have a concerning run in and they've won only one in the last 7 or 8 games I think.

Big game for them against Chelsea coming up...who created a bit tonight but just couldn't finish those 'kin rats off.
