Relegation 2022/23

[MrD]

It'll go down to the last day and we will all be ruined by it

I look at Everton's run in there and I wonder where the points are coming from based on the last two performances.

Then I look at them again through the lens of our performances prior to that and I see lots of opportunities to get points.

It's a good job we have 4 other teams around us equally as dire as we've been in the last two matches or we'd be in real trouble right now.

Yeah, we’re certainly in trouble.. If we are saved it will be by luck rather than being better (we were too good to go down last season).

Leeds have an horrific run in, so I can’t see them escaping. Leicester worry me though, they have a far far better squad than us, Leeds or forest and surely they’ve got to show that quality at some point?

On paper the Brentford game was harder than the Fulham gane and we won that, I think we aren't making enough of the players that were missing but also their characters...

Yep, immediate reaction to Saturday was (me included) 'we are a disgrace and deserve to go down'. But that team that was out there was nowhere near what our strongest side we can field is.

I have faith Dyche wont be phased by one result, he just needs to keep the players focussed on battling for absolutely every single point that we can get. My worry is getting all our best players fit and able for the final push. The more absences from our 'best xi' the less chance we have of survival, in my opinion.

Yes, we lost a must-win game but the season has not ened yet.
If we can find back our form, we can win some games that we dont expect a win like the next game against Crystal palace.
We have to support our team altogether to make the miracle again.

Tarkowski was prob the only 'leader' on the pitch as well, the whole midfield was a load of wimps

 

[Trimm Trabb]

If we do go down then these are the results that killed us. Absolutely criminal to take just one point from these. Even turning a couple of those defeats into draws would’ve seen us in a much more comfortable position.

Everton 1-1 Forest
Everton 0-1 Leicester
Everton 1-2 Wolves
Everton 1-2 Southampton
Everton 1-3 Fulham

By law of averages surely Palace won't win 4 in a row? Maybe they'll take the foot off a little and we'll get something

 

[Blue peter]

Leeds are capable of pulling a mad result out - beat wolves 4-2 away the other week, they just attack, itll work against some sides - they will take some hammerings as were seeing, but they'll get another 4 pts this season at least I think, meaning 33pts - were on 27 with a worse GD - are we getting 6 more pts before the end of the season? Im not so sure.

Im hoping Leicester totally mess up their next couple and we get a result there.

Agreed…to draw upon a boxing analogy - we are all heavyweights, and whilst we were able to scrap our way through fights with the explosiveness of a knock out punch, we had a good chin….we seem to have more of a glass chin in that regard. Now Leicester and Leeds are equally if not more chinny than us, but they can throw the odd haymaker to knock their opponents out and it is those odd wins which I think will see them safe in my opinion

How are you guys feeling?
After our last 2, can't see us having a hope of staying up. Think it will be Leeds, Southampton and one other.

He definitely didn’t show that at the weekend

I think we will just about stay up tbh

Might take us a while to catch you though.

Maybe, we're heading in one direction though.

If we stay up it’ll be a miracle, we can’t score and can’t stop conceding. I would be more surprised if we stayed up than I would be if we finished 20th.
