Relegation 2022/23

I think we are done but if forest lose all the teams bellow did so made no ground but lost no ground. I still think we finish above Southampton and forest. I just don’t like that it’s Leicester down there they have a lot more quality than we do and think they stay up at our expense.

 

[PhilEFC]

I don’t

I reckon you will.

 

[daza_1973]

Yup, and I just have zero faith in us getting an away win.

Palace in form and a win sees them safe if they’re not already.

Wolves maybe if they’re safe and on the beach when we visit?

When was the last time any team was ever on the beach when we rock up ?

The fans are worn out. They've been taken for granted - and for fools - for 25 years. They've had their good name taken by a nefarious, self-aggrandising board. They can see that most of these players aren't up to it. They can also see that some of these not-up-to-it players are hugely overpaid and are, in some cases, looking for more or do not want to be here.

Not the ingredients for fervent support, I'd say.

I reckon yesterday was a penny drop moment for Dyche. All illusions are gone after that.

Yesterday was the first time I felt resignation and even apathy rather than anger.
It was a mood that was mirrored around the ground.
The number of people who began leaving immediately after their third was another indicator that the fight has left the collective support.
It needs something exceptional in the next two games to restore our resolve.

Hard to say when we make such hard work of anything and make an average side look like European elite

Looking at remaining fixtures can only see about 4-5 points, win at home to Bournemouth at home and a point at home to Newcastle, maybe draw away to Leicester can't see getting much more from other games rarely get much points away from home in last few yrs and other home game is man City at home no chance getting anything in that game , that's 31 to 32 points, won't be enough to stay up, it's done

If the players' don't fight, then the fans won't respond, and I don't blame them. The players didn't give enough yesterday, everything about the performance was not good enough. I cannot accept that level of effort and commitment in such an important game. Everyone involved in that second half should be embarrassed.

If that is our level of performance, then we have no chance. If that is all the players can deliver in a crucial game, we have no chance. If the manager is going to freeze under pressure, we have no chance.

It's the lack of responsibility and demanding of each other that winds me up with the squad. The amount of times yesterday the players just let runners do what they wanted.....its simply unacceptable.

Get beat by all means because the opposition are better, but getting the basics wrong like effort, desire, commitment....the things Dyche is all too eager to have little digs about the previous management, well I haven't seen any of that AT ALL the last 2 games and certainly haven't seen enough in the away games to be confident of us getting a win on the road under him

 

[neil999]

Leeds lost 5 1 last week BTW...

 

[ForeverBlue92]

well we do mate under dyche. it’s not working 3 defeats on the spin

his honey moon period is ra over after that yday

it’s his job to try and get us back up now

which won’t happen.

you will get your grim day out at blackpool tho lad.

Get a hold of yerself man !

Last 5 results:

Brentford - W
Chelsea - D
Spurs - D
Utd - L
Fulham - L

A very tricky round of fixtures nows not the time to turn on Dychy.

A draw against Palace & win at home to Newcastle and we're in good stead. We need our better players back available if we are to stay up.

We have missed Doucoure massively. His suspension has happened at the wrong time.

Not having Coleman, Onana, doucoure yesterday just showed up the lack of backup we have. It’s going to be tough to stay up with everyone fit, near impossible with that 11 from yesterday.

Felt worse than Burnley away for sure there, I wouldn’t be surprised if forest beat a depleted United today as well.

Momentum is huge in football and feels we have hit a bad patch at the wrong time.

 

[knowing your history]

Gordon better quality? Agree with you mostly but Gordon is terrible.

He played his part this time last season.

 

[degsy]

Watching Leicester in the second half at Man City worried me a bit because it looks like Dean Smith might get them going.

Not too sure about that, Haarland went off at HT and they had it won at 3-0, so with big games coming up??

 

[efcforever]

Forgot about them

I realised after I replied to your post it was a bit pointless as it was clearly just an oversight on your part.

It's just one bad game, all teams at the bottom will have them.
