Relegation 2022/23

[EFC_FRANCIS]

they were not fighting to stay up last year. they will be favourites Monday as they are at home. you use the word horrific. I presume you are using the same word for us. and correctly so.

Theyre fighting for their lives now and can't beat Leeds. We are horrific hence why I've said we deserve to go bit let's not pretend Leicester are 1970 Brazil they're down there for a reason

 

[Del-boy]

We have two shots to go above Leicester. Lose to Newcastle and we have another chance on Monday.

Last season we dropped into the bottom 3 Burnley looked to be getting close to being safe, it all turned around at the end.

There was still about 25% of the season to play after that Burnley game.

After that huge Leicester game there will be 4 games to go.

 

[bluelife]

how do they play the others around or below?

If they could be dragged back in to it that would be great, we need to beat Newcastle for that to start to become reality

Bournemouth won 3 games in a freak bit of luck, playing all of those teams at the worst possible time. We NEED S’ton to beat Bournemouth on Saturday.

 

[maccavennie]

Why would you assume 34 will be enough ?

Oh I see you've taken my words literally as in when I said we will need to win a couple of games..I did say we could go and get a point against Leicester. I didn't mean 2 wins would do it and be enough ffs

 

[toffeemeister77]

Haven't looked at the table for a while, grim that

24 goals in 32 matches.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Anyone fancy Leeds in any of their last five?
Obviously we need points ourselves but…

( we have to win more importantly ) lol

 

[DanEFC92]

Win Thursday and we leapfrog both.

 

[ah11984]

Draw keeps both of them within 1 win. Now for the hard part. Actually winning a football match.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Take that all day, I don't see how Leeds are picking up many wins ( same said for us of course ) but it's good that more teams around us are still massively struggling

Speaking of struggling, that baby Matty1878 is in a right mess. Embarrassment. The Naitch would lock him in a figure four and make him cry.

 

[Drico]

Four points from the next two and we're in pole position to stay up. So, the players have a huge incentive now.

I would have preferred a Leicester win, but any team that can't beat Leeds and is fourth bottom after 33 games is NOT an intimidating opponent on Monday night. They are not getting out as easily as some have predicted.

All of that is academic right now. We must do our bit on Thursday. We really cannot lose that game and probably need the three. But we have a pathway out of this if we're good enough.

Oh.

 

[Brennan]

The only worrying thing about Leicester is their goal difference, it’s worth a point if it comes down to it.

It would be very strange for a team with a GD like theirs to go down tbf.

 

[luuk_deventer]

Two extra days recovery for Leicester vs us on Monday too. No idea why we’re playing on Thursday.

Not what any team needs after a long season, a World Cup, with an already stretched squad.

 

[The Nature Boy]

( we have to win more importantly ) lol

I bet if we don’t, you’ll cry.
