Relegation 2022/23

[marsh]

This going to extra time is bad for us as Brighton have Forest Away on Wednesday

Single games are very difficult to predict but the league is easier to predict. It is no surprise that the bottom few teams are who they are equally it is no surprise the teams at the top. Yeah, you will get the odd anomaly but it is looking for the anomaly expecting to win games against the trend. In your example above, At the time, I think I am right in saying Liverpool hasn't won an away game this year, and nor had they scored an away goal from open play against any team in the bottom half. Maybe Bournemouth v Liverpool result wasn't as unsuspecting as you illude

They beat Newcastle at Newcastle about 3 weeks before.

Right, which requires me to ask if you have watched Everton the last few games?

Yes. I've seen us get what most thought was a hard fought well earned draw against a cheating Spurs team and yesterday I watched us go to a team bang in fornm and handle them with ease in a game we could have won if Calvert Lewin had taken his chance.

I dont see any collapse.

People cant see Everton getting 8 points or so, but CAN see the utter tat around us easily reaching that tally of points.

We can’t score goals…that’s the problem though …
so, people (probably rightly) assume there’s more chance of other teams getting those points.
Leicester have way way more quality than us, so I understand why people assume they will escape. I think it’s between us and Leeds for the last place myself.

Forest will fall away whatever that result.

We scored 9 goals under Dyche and won 13 points.

 

[Gilbert..]

When? Leeds have collapsed. Leicester edged Wolves to make it 1 win in 12 games.

Lol.

That was under bendan rodgers. Akin to Everton under Lampard.

 

[davek]

...under Smith: 1 win, 1 loss...

 

[LucBesson]

Except Rodgers was actually a proper coach.

Away to man city.
They are likely to improve under the new manager. Which i didnt want to see.
Im still banking on leeds and forest.

 

[Gilbert..]

Yeah i dont think hes a bad coach. Just obviously went sour there. I was hoping they would keep him.

 

[marsh]

You never know in football. Let's just hope there are 3 teams below us atleast come the end of the season

 

[knowing your history]

Teams above need less of course.

Funnily enough last season from middle of April an 7-8 games left these were the points hauls:

Everton- 11 points from last 8 games.
Burnley- 11 points from last 8 aswell.
Leeds- 9 points from last 8.

So all three did better than a point a game in that run as desperation really kicked in.

I don't see any improvement in results

 

[knowing your history]

Brighton putting so much into this and likes of Welbeck picked up injuries.

I think Forest know deep down that's their last real chance on Wednesday. Win that and they have Brentford and Southampton right after.
