Relegation 2022/23

[Jeff Jones]

Man. United going to be without all of Rashford, Shaw, Varane and Lisandro Martinez for Forest game by looks of it.

Forest are poor but that's a big chance for them now to get something.

We were thinking something like that last week: No Casamero, no Shaw, and look what happened.

Forest won't get anything here.

 

[Drico]

We wouldn't be dead and buried but for a lot of us, not getting out of this before the last game (if we do at all), is disastrous. I'm just fed up of it in all honesty.

Yeah, I think it's basically a declaration of war on the fanbase by the board if we are taken to the last day again. None of us are getting any younger, so to do that to people who went through this in their 90s youth is a despicable indictment of Kenwright and his cronies.

I would love us when we have a full week without a game, and when the oppo have played in the midweek, to play the match as though that happened lol. so many times when we have the week of and the oppo play the midweek a few days earlier, we make it look the opposite way around and we a lot of the time play so bad and looked wrecked

Most likely. But if they do, it'll certainly put last week's performance into cold harsh relief. That Coleman mistake was appalling. We really cannot be having that at this point of the season.

TBH mate, if someone offered me a final day shootout between us and B'mouth at home Ild take that now.

 

[blue to the bone]

We're weakened, and Fulham are more than just Mitrovic.

They really should have won handily when we played them down there this season. They had loads of scoring chances.

Everton are second favourites for this all day long. Forget their recent form. And they're still trying to get their heads round the loss of Mitrovic.

I expect an absolute war on Saturday. They will be looking at Everton away as the turning point back to good form.

Second favourites according to who.

Djer know what? I'm not even enjoying football anymore. I'm just hoping we get out of this and then I've got to worry about
the Financial thing.

I'll be glad when it's all over. And maybe not, then.

Me.

United are a different side away from Old Trafford and Forest have a decent home record so I wouldn't write them off. That said, I don't think they've got it in them to get a consistent run of results regardless. Might have one last scalp in them but I think they are ones I'd be confident to say are down.

 

[davek]

I think the rational amongst us won't be despairing. This is a hard match because every match is hard for this Everton. We are, most likely, going to have to scrap for every point, mentally as a fan base as much as physically on the pitch.

Self preservation tells me that if we do not win, it's prudent to dial back hope and accept it will now be touch and go. A win would be seismic, though. If we are to have confidence in getting out, this is a must. Anything less and it's sleeves up time and an acceptance that this may not end well.

A win with two of our three best performers of the Dyche era off the pitch will be like rocket fuel to survival.

I said before that if we win I'd stick my neck not that far out to count us as safe.

30 points and 7 games left to get 6 points would be very very doable. In fact, we'd probably end up close to 40 points.

We just need a hero or two to show up on Saturday.

Forest and S'ton are down. Not even worth talking about their survival chances. Leicester are the ones we have to distance ourselves from. If we get 5 points on them by Saturday night they are not catching us either. Simple as that IMO.

Win on Saturday and we're safe.

We're safe until we're not again. We've got to go to Leicester still so speaking in such certainties is a waste of time.

I am finding it that a lot of people are thinking that us playing Leicester is a cert 3 points, a more easier game so to speak than v Fulham, i think we have the better chance v Fulham myself - but as ever with things time will tell. we are not safe if we win tomorrow no matter what people think, we could easily win tomorrow and say lose the next amount of games

30 points with 6 points to get and two of our better players to come back in?

I'll be calling that 'safe!' and be prepared to stand there daring maximum egg to strike my face for the remainder of the season.
