This evening I've looked at the fixtures of the bottom 5 teams and tried to predict the results without blue tinted glasses on. I've been as honest as I possibly can without any bias for the first time.

I actually have Southampton and Leicester staying up and us going down. Obviously there will be some surprise results.

Fixtures:

Everton

Newcastle h - draw
Leicester a - draw
Brighton a - loss
Man city h - loss
Wolves a - draw
Bournemouth h - win

Total of 34 points for Everton.

Leicester

Leeds a - draw
Everton h - draw
Fulham a - loss
Liverpool h - draw
Newcastle a - loss
West ham h - win

Total of 34 points, finishing above Everton on GD.

Leeds

Leicester h - draw
Bournemouth a - draw
Man city a - loss
Newcastle h - loss
West ham a - loss
Spurs home - win

Leeds on 34. Probably below Everton and Leicester on goal difference

Forest

Brighton h - loss
Brentford a - draw
Southampton h - loss
Chelsea a - loss
Arsenal h - loss
Palace a - win

31 points for forest.

Southampton

Bournemouth h - win
Newcastle a - loss
Forest a - win
Fulham h - win
Brighton a - loss
Liverpool h - win, as the RS won't be bothered.

36 points.

I have it sadly as

16. Soton 36 points
17. Leicester 34 but good GD
18. Everton
19. Leeds
20. Forest
I think your predictions look pretty good except for 2 major ones... Soton winning away at Forest which shhould be a draw and them getting a result against the RS on final day. Soton will finish below us.
 
I was flapping mad all of yesterday because Wolves deciding to roll over like massive drips to help their 6 fingered midlands mates stay up has obviously been horrendous for us

However if we just look at our own game in isolation, and focus on that, then we have to say it was a decent point. We can only affect our own games, not what happens arond us. Dom being back made a huge difference and I just hope he can build on it further. Our fixture list looks pretty horrible, but stranger things have happened. Chin up lads, back ourselves.
 
Just thinking if we can get to being 3 points behind Bournemouth the last game of the season would be huge we could go above them on goal difference im hoping for a west ham win
True, but that probably requires them to lose to Leeds and Southampton in the run in for us to get within touching distance. Them winning those games would probably be more useful to us.

agree on this.... imagine if we had lost yesterday which was a very likely outcome. But we didnt, we ended a potential 3 game losing streak albeit with a draw. between us, Leeds and Leicester we all have 3 points from tne last 5 games. difference is we have drawn 3, but they have lost 4 each.
The next week is pivotal for this race to the bottom.
 
I don’t think it’s that weird or fatalistic people are down after yesterday? The fans travelling home were mostly despondent. True, a point away from home, especially there, with a weak midfield and a Holgate, is on paper fine, bordering on good. Draws away, wins at home would work. No argument.

But with 6 games left, context is absolutely everything. It’s another missed opportunity, and we were proper limp. Not like we held on with 10 men for 70 minutes, and the PL don’t seem to have awarded us our bonus point for creating a couple of chances. We were missing players. So were Leicester. Beating Wolves at home is nothing special at all, same bracket as Palace for me. But with context, a weakened Leicester played 3 strikers from the start, went balls out for it with what they had available and got it. That’s worth something. Everyone saying Palace were unbeatable because they carry confidence from the last game. Well, now Leicester have some confidence.

A point against high flying Newcastle next week is a “good result” in October But it’s not now though, it’s not enough. We must win at home.

Dyche called Real Palace the division’s in-form team in every single interview. They’ve beaten Leicester, Leeds and Southampton and barely threatened one of the leagues worst teams yesterday.

It’s of course still in our hands, far far far from over, and we will be in far better shape with Doucoure, hopefully Seamus back and a fitter sharper Dom. But even though we factually gained on Leeds and Forest, we’ve spent our Palace card. Same as we’ve spent our Fulham at home card. Feels like we’ve slipped a little closer to oblivion with 1 point from those 2 winnable games, even ignoring our new position in the table. But seems it’s another case of “today wasn’t must win, next week is must win.” We are heading towards finally calling a game must win against the best team on the planet. Certainly not a weekend to be content with for me. But I am always hugely pessimistic, and riddled with generalised anxiety so we will probably be fine 😂.

Looking forward to see what Newcastle offer today.

Absolutely spot on this.
 
So many flappers.

Relax boys. That was a good point yesterday and Dyche will win enough points to be safe. Either that or we will be fortunate that the likes of Leicester and Leeds have even worse seasons.

Stop crying it in every opportunity. I've been reading on here that we were down 100% about 4 months ago.

We have the best manager of all the teams around us who knows how to win a relegation battle.

Is there a thing here where if we cry it in enough we think it won't happen?
Also talk about the club ceasing to exist after a relegation are complete and utter tosh.

We are Everton FC, not some tin pot club that's been in the Premier League for 5 minutes.
What actually does that mean anymore? It used to mean something in terms of our status and footballing prowess, I am not sure that prestige is there to the outside world
 

I think that we have 3 winnable games available, Leicester, Wolves and Bournemouth. I’m not saying that we’ll win them, only that they are winnable.

The other three, less so.

One win and three draws might just do it, it’s going to be a staggeringly low relegation total this season I feel.
