Relegation 2022/23

[Aries]

Doucoure has been a massive miss. DCL (yes, I know) is in line for a return against Palace according to Dyche, and Onana hopefully back for palace as well. Can only hope these returnees can’t give us a huge lift. Definitely more twists and turns to come and we’ll pick up points where nobody is expecting us to get them.

That Leicester away game is massive though. It’s a must not lose.

To come out of that weekend still above the cut off line is the only positive i can take from the weekend

Why I was shouting from the rooftops about the need for three points yesterday.

Leeds.

We need to catch, overhaul and stay in front of Leeds to survive this year.

It’s all about Leeds.

I posted this in February. I still believe it to be true today.

Forget Leicester, it’s all about Leeds.

We learned nothing at all today:

West Ham after last week's away win against Fulham and their game in hand were always getting clear

Forest were always going down with S'ton.

It's us and Leicester. Even if Liverpool beat Leeds I still they get clear.

Leicester have two points to make up on us but they have Evans coming back in to sure up that defence and Tieleman's is getting minutes now....and, of course, they have us down there to play.

We'll need to come up with some exceptional results to fend them off.

Really expected Forest to get something before this game kicked off, so hurray for small mercies.

We can't pin our survival hopes on the bottom 3 not picking up any more points this season though, at some point we're going to have to do something ourselves.

I completely agree. Like yourself, been saying this for a while. And they are very catchable. Even for us.

I honestly don't think Forrest are a worry for us. It's Leicester and Leeds now. Leeds have a head start of 2 points and a game in hand on us, but face probably the worst run in of all. We have 2 points start on Leicester but they have arguably the easiest run in. Down to the wire without a doubt.

 

[PhoenixIreland]

Forest are woeful, there's no way we are going down before them.

Not for me. Leeds are way too lively up front.

This is between Everton and Leicester.

We have a two point lead on them but they have us at home.

They also have a defedner coming back who can steady them in Evans.

I see it 60-40 in their favour.

Even we scored 2 against them at their place lol

It has to be defensive mode at Palace and hope for a set piece goal or a goal on the break, we need something from there.

yep. At least Forest did what we needed and expected the to do\

 

[daza_1973]

A small crumb of comfort for us - just look at the form of the bottom 3
In a proper rut they seem.

 

[Roachey11]

Forest somehow look worse than us. Between us and Leicester for that last spot. Leeds will have enough to steer clear.
