Relegation 2022/23

[gedefc]

I think we are finished. Losing to Fulham was the key

Yeah im worried now, I think Leicester will do more than us and we have to go there - think Leeds will probably do enough aswell

 

[JLW]

We will stay up lads!!

 

[perth_blue]

Leicester against Wolves will be very telling.

 

[efcforever]

I agree, I just can't see three wins for them from the run in, we need Liverpool to annoying beat them both, Newcastle to stay in the top 4 race, Arsenal the title race, Brighton to stay in the European hunt and a few teams like Wolves to want to secure safety ASAP

Leicester City
Home Wolves
Away Leeds
Home Everton
Away Fulham
Home Liverpool
Newcastle away
Home West Ham

Forest
Away Liverpool
Home Brighton
Away Brentford
Home Southampton
Away Chelsea
Home Arsenal
Away Palace

It's so hard to call but I see 5-9 for Leicester and 4-6 for Forest.

 

[efcforever]

I think Leicester are as likely to win 3 more games as we are.

Possibly more so as they play us at home.

 

[Peter The Dog]

i honestly think that wham are still in the equation. their remaining fixtures are not easy. if they lose to b'mouth they will be well in the mire, plus they still have an away game against man city, which could damage their GD.

Can have no qualms whatsoever if we’re playing championship football next season.

It’s a shame on the fans, but it’s nothing less than the people who oversee the running of the club deserve.

 

[Blueclouds]

No,losing at home to Southampton and Nottingham forest under Frank was the critical point.

True but we had a chance to save ourselves and 3 points at home against Fulham was key. We blew it.

Leicester will get a few wins under Smith who is underrated.

Leicester will get a few wins under Smith who is underrated.

I think their next two are Wolves at home & Leeds away, followed by us at home - I genuinely think they'll pick up 4-6 points in those games

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Fully agree. We are like zombies walking towards the inevitable at the moment.

The players are missing that one talisman that’s running around from minute one, harrying and forcing errors and winning throw ins deep in the opponents half. It was often Richy, but even when Coleman has one of his really good games (which he does still have) we tend to win.

McNeill is trying but he isn’t the personality needed at all. Iwobi will run and run but there is no aggression in his game at all. Not sure Gana is allowed to talk on the pitch. Tarks was hailed as a great professional and leader, never see him grab hold of anyone and wake them up. All too nice. They are all waiting for something to happen for them.

Said it at the weekend, I get the managerial approach of ignoring the table and focussing on the game plan etc etc to take the pressure off. But there is no urgency or desperation. Sod it now, pile the pressure on them. Bournmouth clearly got told a month ago that if they didn’t fight for every inch of the pitch, they’d take themselves down and most of them wouldn’t be snapped up by Real Madrid. Leeds play with that sort of attitude anyway, but without any plan or focus, but their tenacity is a worry.

We went 1-2 down and they all just went into their shells thinking gaffer will probably take me off to bring Simms on, hope he does it quick.

Not seen anything from him that suggests he is any kind of a leader, in fact since the reintroduction of Keane I think Tarkowski has looked weaker.

 

[Neiler]

Its the performance on Saturday that's really shaken my confidence, its a while since i saw heads drop like that and get dominated.

Ultimately its down to us now, right in it.

Its about fight now.

 

[jonnyboy316]

Just booked up 2 weeks in Thailand so I will deliberately miss Wolves and Bournemouth games. If I don’t see our relegation it never happened!

 

[paultheblue]

The board and Moshiri have killed us this year not bringing a CF in was bordering on criminal
We have scored 24 goals this season our 2 main rivals are Leeds who have scored 39 and Leicester 41.The hardest thing in football is scoring goals and we just can't do that.
I haven't given up all hope but I just can not see us surviving this year barring a miracle.
