Relegation 2022/23

[GoldenToffee]

Fulham were already on holiday and look how that went…

Exactly. We can't win against teams fighting, and we can't win against teams cruising.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Of course there are scenario's where we fail to get any more points this season, or where we get to 40 points. The answer lies somewhere in between. The issue is - are there 3 teams who get less points. The possibilities are becoming more and more tight and the margins getting narrower. 7 games left....
Next weekend could be interesting for momentum and all four teams at the bottom have winnable/losable games, few certainty's at this point makes it much more worrying.

Bournemouth final day could go either way. They could be safe and barely lift a leg. However everyone assumed Fulham would be like that but they altered the formation in final third and played with great freedom and expression and cruised to victory.

Bournemouth also have loads of pace in the final third so having to gamble and push players forward dosen't seem like a great match up to me.

I'd take needing a win in that game to guarantee safety all day long now. I've thought that for weeks.

Weeks ago that game looked like a straight winner takes all fixture but they will be safe well before then.

If we need it, and we probably will, and can't get the three points at home, under those circumstances, then there really would be no cause whatsoever for complaint if we couldn't do it. I'd have a different view if they needed the points as well.

I dunno about that,. The Championship label won't stop us being an asset and probably make us more attractive to swoop in. Being in the premiership doesn't automatically make us a £1billion club either. It's all down to what price Mosh asks.

The stadium is the asset. I could see Mosh selling up to some dodgy yank consortium for £500mill which will include finishing the stadium off. They'll no doubt sell the stadium for double dishing out a percentage back to Mosh...and we'll be "renting" the stadium going forward.

Mosh is never going to make his money back unless he still sees it as a vanity project. Make no mistake, we get relegated there will be buyers queuing up to pick the bones off the corpse.

Sorry mate that's just delusional. More attractive in the Championship lol

You don't to set a price when your ship sinking.. you take what you can get before you drown

The answer lies in getting our best starting line up back on the pitch. Do that and we'll just survive IMO. If we cant have Coleman and Onana back in with Doucoure after his suspension then we wont.

 

[HappyJack]

The wild card of course is Calvert suddenly back in, a fit Onana and Doucoure back. Coleman also. That might save us. In these situations you need a. A mercurial january talisman signing ( ie Ferguson at the time, Campbell), b. A complete fit team back. c. An act of God at Leicester away….

I am hoping for a,b, and c.

This is beyond doubt the biggest opportunity/impediment we have right now. Our physio's and medical staff really need to earn their corn over the next few weeks, Dyche needs to take some risks (its no use waiting for a fully fit DCL if we are in the Championship when he gets there) and the players need to be prepared to battle for their club, their jobs and their fans!

 

[mikel_88]

Mosh will sell cheap if we're in the championship and quick IMO.

£500mill tops.

Wish would be true imp i think he would still hold on try get us up then look sell when stadium is done then as a prem club try cash in

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

I honestly think we've had it this year. We look absolutely atrocious all over the park. The only consolation that I have is that I was even more convinced that we where done for this time last season and we managed to stay up then with even less woeful teams around us then we do now. If we do manage to stay up then it says far more about this league then it does us because we're absolutely 100% championship standard at best.

 

[Goat]

As I said a few weeks ago, you people wasting your energy wishing other results to "go our way" are wasting your time.

If we cant win football games we will go down.

Losing to Fulham at home is just a complete joke.

 

[cjuk87]

After the Spurs game, I was convinced that we were staying up. Watching us against Fulham, I'm convinced we're down.

Gordon to score his first goal for Newcastle and send us down. Everton it to the max.

Godfrey up front in a 451?

It's not a joke though is it?

I said to you all last week to take a look at the table. Fulham are better than us and they proved it.

Yes, it's down to us to get results. But the teams below us are terrible too. And it's essential that they keep on with their own terrible runs while we sort ourselves out trying to get our best starting eleven back out on the pitch.

 

[davek]

We're all gutted to have lost on Saturday (well most of us are), and we all vented at the time.

Howvever, the fact of the matter is that we remain out of the relegation zone and the team we need to keep at bay down there are 2 points behind us.

We are going to struggle to get safe if we dont have our best team to call on, but so to are Leicester going to struggle. I'd rather be two points up on them than two points behind. If we can stay out of the bottom three after Saturday and get players back on the pitch for the remainder of the games we can do this.
