Relegation 2022/23

[Kev The Rat]

What do you see in Leicester, with 1 point in 8 games, with City away next, and Jesse Marsch as manager that makes you think they will stay up over us?
Explain your rationale. Because it sounds like idiocy.
That defeat today, is an absolute body blow for them.
We have picked up more points from Spurs (with 10 men) and United away, than they have v Villa and Bournemouth at home.
I know who I think is going down.

They only need a few wins - like 2 - to turn it around for them. A new manager bounce invariably happens regardless of who it actually is

Leicesters run in is also pretty easy including playing us home

Bournemouth winning doesn't take them out the mix though. We are 3 behind them with a home fixture against them and better goal difference. Leicester have already had a terrible run at the start of the season so anything that denies them a shred of momentum is good.

I just think - with no real evidence - that Leicester are likely to be more difficult to flush than a Bournemouth that had lost today...

But if we can beat Fulham next week, we should be five points clear of Leicester as they face City...

So it's in our gift to be well out of their reach by May Day at the King Power.

how are we out the bottom3?

Cos Forest and Leicester are in worse form than us

 

[Harryflashman]

Hmm, so rather than a ham fisted nice guy who's trying his best but failing miserably, he's actually a machiavellian agent sent to destroy us. I could buy it.

I mean I know what’s more likely but I’m depressed and trying to feel better .

Next weekend is absolutely massive

2-0 Villa

6th in the league!!!

 

[Rich1878]

They’ll need a win before then I’m guessing. As do we.

Bournemouth have still got a few tough games, including Spurs, Chelsea , utd and us at home.

It ain't over yet by a mile. We are going to be ok imo

 

[matty1878]

The bottom line is, we always had the best run in from 8 games on. We are outside of the relegation zone going into that. Every other team has harder fixtures, and are almost all in worse form.

We have to do our bit, starting with a win v Fulham. But realistically, it couldn't have gone much better for us post Dyche coming in.

yep do our part now

Leicester got City away next week. Forest have United at home.
A win against Fulham would be huge.

 

[JohnRoss23]

Fulham is a must win or we are for sure in deep stuff.

 

[Axlswhk]

We are lucky to not finish bottom 3 today. Now time to beat Fulham next week and prove once and for all its not a mistake to sack him.

 

[catcherintherye]

If only it was that simple

It's not that simple, but often it is. Sides in awful form tend to keep losing.

 

[matty1878]

6th in the league!!!

they can score goals

 

[good times bad times]

Forest losing, Leicester losing, Soton about to lose.

It's all OK, just about.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

We literally cannot rely on Chelsea to win games by the way, so that's a waste of time..

 

[neil999]

Bournemouth safe on 30 points? Great only 4 more needed for us then

He's an idiot
