Relegation 2022/23

[dannyboy]

Bournemouth worryingly putting a good run together. West Ham, Southampton and Leeds are in their next 4 games so they'll see themselves having a great chance of staying up.

Next Saturday is just a must win for us. We don't want teams above us to start building a gap.

 

[Kev The Rat]

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.

Leicester have the easiest run in of all

 

[Tony101]

Let's put it this way.

If it's a toss-up between nine times champions Everton and little Bournemouth, referees and officials - being human - are likely to be swayed by tradition all other things being equal.

If it's between nine times champions Everton and 2016 Premier League champions Leicester, then that psychological advantage is rather diminished.

And we play Bournemouth at home on the last day. We need to go to Leicester...

Yeah but Bournemouth started the day level on points with us. Leicester didn’t if we can beat Fulham at home and they pay City we open up a 5 point gap.

Emery's point's haul since has came in is bordering on ridiculous, Villa we're sinking quickly to relegation, he's 3rd behind City and Arsenal for point's gained, incredible.

 

[Dougie]

Think if you would of said 3 weeks ago, we had games against Chelsea, spurs and Man U. The teams around us had Easier fixtures and there games hand and we still be out the relegation zone after all of it then would of said yes please.

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.

most of that bottom 8 would of lost at united toddy

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I'd have been thrilled to be in the position now when Dyche was first appointed.

 

[catcherintherye]

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

A bit like the new manager bounce today? Or for Nathan Jones?
Lets see if they win at City, that will then be 2-3 games to establish a new manager bounce. I suspect if they won't, it won't be coming.

What an awful day

 

[Kev The Rat]

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

Obviously they’ll pick up some more points between now and the end - 6 would be the minimum you’d expect

 

[Moomin]

Repent for what?

Undying support of that stain Lampard

 

[matty1878]

Emery's point's haul since has came in is bordering on ridiculous, Villa we're sinking quickly to relegation, he's 3rd behind City and Arsenal for point's gained, incredible.

they acted early like a proper
club should
do

 

[Drico]

Today's result was to be expected, but Forest losing was critical. Barring a disaster by City, we have come through with relatively little damage and a chance to put some distance between ourselves and Leicester next weekend. West Ham and Wolves will, in all likelihood, muddle clear now, though they are not clear by any means yet.

A win next weekend is, needless to say, essential.

 

[Amokachi1995]

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

Next weekend is absolutely massive

Yes mate. Today's result was always likely but still tough to take. Plenty of points up for grabs but you can't help but feel the Fulham match will be crucial.

 

[matty1878]

Obviously they’ll pick up some more pints between now and the end - 6 would be the minimum you’d expect

pints they can play
