Relegation 2022/23

Heard they were 4-0 upon the first 15 minutes and Carlo and his muppets walked off

Didn't know you were a fellow football journalist

I thought I wrote from the top flight. I am aware we went to Div 3, I have read about it but as I was only 2 years old at the time it really didn't bother me that much. However, I can confirm that I didn't go to any of the games and nor did I watch the highlights on TV

Pfffft!

There's no way if you were a Villa fan you wouldn't know that about your own club.

Sorry, but something's a bit off here.

Hearing Leeds beat real Madrid 4-0 in a closed door friendly today

Got a tough one next fixture.

Another 8 points in the bank for them then

Bournemouth 35pts
Leicester 34pts
Forest 32pts
Leeds 31pts
Southampton 30pts

I must admit Leeds are terrible. Impossible to predict really.

DCL being in the side gives everyone a boost. Things may just click with him in the team.

It'll be more to do with getting our midfield trio back together IMO.

I really hope now that Leicester turn Leeds over. That'll tell me that they've almost certainly lost their way at the wrong time.

I mean, not long ago Leeds drew with Brighton, beat Wolves away and then beat Forest. But since then they've been woeful.

Easter Sunday it all started falling apart for them and I dont know why. I expected them to coast to safety. Rumours have been that Gracia has lost the dressing room. If they get beat against Leicester they're right up against it. It'll be last chance salloon for him I'd have thought. But what can they then do except place a caretaker in charge for 5 games?

If I were a Leeds fan seeing Everton creep to within a point of them with a fighting performance against a team that humiliated them on their own pitch two weeks ago I'd be having kittens right now. I'd certainly see Leicester at home as the last realistic hope of maximum points.

That’s a bit optimistic IMO

Wouldn’t sniff at it. If we could have only drawn against Fulham we would be out of the bottom three now. Every point counts, wins are enormous but draws keeps us in the hunt.

...which is why the hard fought draw against Palace has been criminally underrated.

Can I have some of what you've been taking !!

Draws will keep us up! a win is needed from somewhere but one win and 5 draws puts us on 36 pts.

Dyche knows the value of them. Forest, Chelsea, Spurs and Palace - a third of the matches he's been in charge for - handed us hard fought draws. I think only the Forest draw was disappointing in that we led twice. Two more and two wins would see us out of this.

I have us finishing with 34-36 points, do think 33 will be enough to keep us up though

Chances of finishing the season unbeaten are zilch.

Yeah I know, Southampton winning 2 games maybe a bit far-fetched
