Relegation 2022/23

[matty1878]

In all four leagues.

But our amazing board and DOF couldn’t find a single striker, even on loan in TWO separate windows.

and they’ve sent is down down down down down down down down down

 

[PITA]

and leicester won

But you said 'the teams around us are winning'. Leicester is just one team.

I tend to agree. My disappointment/sadness right now is we are not good enough to save ourselves cleanly. We're, basically, trying to stay up by default. So, morally, we deserve to drop in my book. For so many reasons. The real frustration for me is that we didn't remove Lampard after the Bournemouth debacle in November. I have no doubt the new manager would have gleaned more than the one point Frank did from the Wolves, City, Brighton, Southampton, and West Ham fixtures had he come in during the World Cup. That was one mistake too far for this club.

We're primed for the drop now. Any three from four.

Yep utterly baffling that Frank was left in charge as long as he was.

I reckon Dyche would have gotten 4-5 points from those fixtures.

"Newcastle scored loads today and Brighton got beat and played extra time....everything's gone against us..."

Hopefully Newcastle have had enough of scoring now and will decide to give it a miss next game

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.

Leicester aren't all that. They were lucky to win yesterday to get their first win in 12 games. I expect them to stumble against Leeds.

We played Fulham who were in their worst form of the season and that didn’t work so we may as well have a go against someone good next home game

Ultimately, we’re a different team with Doucoure and Onana’s energy and combative performances, let alone how much better we are with Dom up top. I said at the weekend, I think who goes down depends on who is able to play most of their best eleven going forward.

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

It's on a knife's edge for 3 teams who are looking to avoid that 3rd from bottom spot.

We've just found our feet after being beaten twice with our midfield weakened. We handled a form team very well away at their place and we also have players coming back into contention.

Yesterday was a very solid performance and it drew a line in the sand.

I expect us to give Newcastle a better game than we gave Fulham, that's for sure.

Spot on.

That's what will determine it in the end.

I saw a lot of organisation and determination against Palace and IMO it went without comment because we slipped into the bottom three. If we get our starters back we are in business.

Not saying they are all that. They clearly though have a few good players and you wont need to be much better than all that to survive over the few dross teams, that Everton are one of. They've scored 43 goals. Compared to Evertons 24.
If you can score you have a chance.

Shouldn't we want a draw from this game?

Will Doucoure and Onana be back on Thursday?

They stand about the same chance as Everton and Leeds IMO.

I honestly cant see them truning Leeds over on Tuesday, and if that happens and we go to them and get a resuklt they are in massive trouble.

Yes they can score, but not recently they haven't. 8 goals in the last 13 games.

A draw or a Leicester win.

Doucoure for sure. That's his suspension over. Onana I'm hoping for along with Coleman.
