Relegation 2022/23

[Shibbywiggles]

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.

Yeah, I thought we did ok and got a decent away point and Doucoure, Onana and Coleman being back will be huge. Garner has also got minutes now and has proven he’s the first CM sub now and more effective than Davies. More minutes from Dom will be a huge plus we weren’t counting on too.

Think we're better now with Calvert Lewin then?

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

They are obviously a good side but todays result doesn't mean much for Thursday

 

[Shibbywiggles]

A draw or a Leicester win.

Yeah I think Leeds have the slightly worse set of fixtures remaining

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

Let’s hope the nature of Brighton’s defeat to Utd has an adverse effect on them by the time we play them.

Hi just a question out there for those posters who are not yet panicking…..where is your breaking point where you start to panic in terms of a timeline and results wise? Just so I can note it

Usually about 15:05pm on opening day of the season..
So not bad really, I mean it gives me about 5mins of positivity before the cracks start appearing

 

[knowing your history]

They are obviously a good side but todays result doesn't mean much for Thursday

They have won 6 of their last 7 games. Complete no show at Villa (who are in superb form themselves) but bounced back in style today. Also scored 5 at West Ham the other week who've been in good form themselves for last six weeks.

I think it will be a huge achievement to keep a clean sheet on Thursday. They've also got likes of Almiron and some bloke called Anthony Gordon to throw on after an hour if they wish aswell.

Got to be honest I see a point at very best in next two home games which is going to pile massive pressure on to win a away game and there's only three chances to do it now rather than 6-7.

the minutes are running out. the clock is ticking i’m afraid

 

[luuk_deventer]

If we get either 0 or just 1 point from our next 4 games, in that scenario, would most agree we are down?

Depends how the table looks obviously, but we would probably need wins away to Wolves and on the final day against Bournemouth to have a chance.

 

[matty1878]

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

my point stands pal

 

[Drico]

Let’s hope the nature of Brighton’s defeat to Utd has an adverse effect on them by the time we play them.

I can't understand why we would just write off Brighton away.

Three points to be won there. They're Brighton, not AC Milan 1994.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

A draw or a Leicester win.

Agreed, a draw probably best to keep both in it but after yesterday's results it feels like Leeds losing a 6 pointer at home might demoralise them entirely. If they lose that they might not win again all season.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Yeah mate, it’s ticking on all the clubs down there. Honestly I think it’s really close between us, Leeds and Leicester with Forest and Southampton just being slightly more likely than the rest but any three of the five wouldn’t even be a shock right now… it’ll be close but it’s not over… it’s also not good

Pinched a point off City at full strength at the Etihad, we can pinch a point anywhere

Forget about him. We're going to have to try and do it without him...hence this:

The impending forward crisis

I think we all know that DCL wont be a reliable feature of this team over the 17 games to come. He played close to peak performance on Saturday for an hour and couldn't manage more than that. The scandal that was the January transfer window cant be rectified now, and it doesn't look like the...

Forget about him.

I consider him retired, tbh.

Absolute joke this club has players like him and Mina who cant play a game without having 10 weeks off.

Dyche knows he has to field questions about him but you can imagine his mind's wandering off planning his tea of cow pie and chips when he's answering. He knows what a waste of 'kin time the whole charade is.

He doesn't exist as a player.

Supporters need to forget him and get behind who we do have.

And Dyche should not refer to him at all. If he's asked about him he should answer that he only talks of players in contention for places for games.

...and let's face it - he's not all that in any case. If he'd have played today he wouldn't have got on the score sheet.

As said: forget about this feller. He doesn't even exist.

We have our first team now and they need no distraction from a ghost haunting the club.

Get to the summer and buy this feller's contract out if we cant get cash for him.

Forget about him. He isn't playing for us again this season.

Never going to play agian this seasaon.

Forget about him.

There is quite literally pages and pages of this.
