Relegation 2022/23

[jonnyboy316]

clearly need a result today to keep us in with a shout, if not we will be clear favourites to go down by the time we come to the end of the crucial 3 game run from Palace to Leicester.

2 of those 3 are away which limits our chances of points plus the next 2 after that are odds on defeats - massively so against City.

Personally I think we’re screwed either way given the nature of the 5 after today, but a defeat today confirms it early

Win today and I think we will scramble 36 and stay up. 36 points looks like a difficult total for Forest and Leicester and unreachable for Saints. Draw or defeat and I think we are most likely to be the team that joins Saints and Forest.

I see Saints and Forest as clear favourites and for us I see two avenues of escape. One is to finish above Leicester. This I feel very nervous about as we play them away from home in a couple of weeks. They have been playing really poorly but we know they have the quality that if they gel they can string a couple together and certainly beat us. The other way I see us escaping is staying within 3 points of Bournemouth and beating them on the last day

Same, if we escape, it solves nothing, the fat rat will still be chairman, we need to suffer, we DESERVE to suffer.

Extentions for Iwobi, Keane and Maupay...the trifecta of woe.

Need those 3pts today

If we don't win today we are relegated but even if we do we still are lol lol lol

Today isn’t a ‘must win’ game by any means , but it is another ‘we must start winning soon’ game.
Although it isn’t impossible I feel we can’t expect to survive on draws alone.
Psychologically, for many of us beleaguered supporters , failure to secure a win with home advantage against a good but out of form mid table side who are also missing important personnel, would represent a blow to our collective morale.

I had a dream last night, Everton beat Fulham 5-0

To be fair the last few years have been hard. It may be worth thinking about installing these at the new ground.

Couldnt sleep - shaking with fear tbh

Yet another big weekend for Everton. Looking at others teams results as much as our own. Looking for reasons why we are safe and others are doomed. You cant say it is dull.

Rooting for Man City and ManU this weekend. If we can get three points from Fulham a draw for Soton / Palace wouldn’t be the end of the world

Palace will murder S'ton. They're flying right now and S'ton look like a bottom of the Championship team.

We got Palace in a minute. Would like their bubble burst. I agree about Soton. They are all but gone

Could be 15th with the right results this weekend. It is mad at the bottom of the league this year.

Palace away will be tough. We can take a point though. We did so against Chelsea away. If we win today I think the team will feel a lot more confident of trying to get the job done and dusted sooner rather than later.

Go into next weeks game on 30 points against a team who'll probably reach safety today on 36 points and we can get a result down there.

We are fighting, some are resigned to relegation. If Leicester take a beating today they might be gone too if we can get a win. Once that gap appears it is difficult to close when you only have a handful of games and your form is so poor
