Relegation 2022/23

[john jako]

We do. No question about that IMO.

We just need invention and a goal per game to make it pay.

Onana and doucoures height and engines will be massive. We can’t create like others teams so going to have to rely on set pieces and late runs into the box. Add in DCL if he stays fit, we could be so much better and set pieces.

Newcastle is massive for us due to it being at home and a night game. Need to use it to our advantage.

No ones mentioning goal difference much tonight, only points. We are worse than Leeds and Leicester. Not saying probably but possibly could let a fair few in, with no goals for againt N,castle and City.

Best case scenario for Leeds away to City is a 4-0 defeat. If City keep pushing then they should win 5-0 or 6-0 and that will do for goal difference. They just conceded 15 goals against Liverpool, Palace and Arsenal. City players likely have goal bonuses. They will want to fill their boots!

Weirdly enough I think we have the best manager, goalkeeper and back 4 out of the bottom 5.

Not sure about that with Coleman fit that back four is just missing a left back. If Coleman is out tho we don’t have a good right back either

Feels like we have a lifeline now. A win on Thursday and we can do it.

What’s the official status on Onana ?

 

[MIKE85]

The battle will be between us, Leicester and NFFC. Leeds are done along with S'hampton.

A good, proper 24/7 thread

I started today as usual with a strong coffee, a look at GOT - this thread included, then spent the rest of the day in the garden. Not long in, having a nice couple of beers and checking this thread.

Not quite 24/7 but I am 16/7 at least!!

Its not weird we've only conceeded 46 which is mid-tablish its the fact we've only scored 24 that's got us where we are.

The battle will be Leicester, NFFC and uS. Leeds are done along with S'hampton.

That is the first time I have seen the acronym NFFC. Usually Forest or Notts Forest. Every day we see something new

 

[Blue Neon]

Wish we would have had a manager this season, half as good as Unai Emery. Not saying a [Poor language removed] Emery

We’re only one goal difference and then behind on goals scored so make that two goals worse than Leeds who I think have the worse fixtures so if we do enough to make up the points, chances are we’ve made up the goals

Think we need a minimum - 1pt at Leicester {a}. 1pt at Wolves {a}. 3pts B,mouth {h} Cant see pts anywhere else.

 

[JohnRoss23]

Leeds run of City, Newcastle and West Ham is huge for us. They aren’t going to win any of those matches. Their goal differential is going to take a massive, massive hit. We just need pick up a couple of wins and a draw here and there.

Does this thread help with soberness?

I think it’s more the point that every week we seem to slag off a defender for being gash lol. Them other 4 teams down the bottom with us are seriously bad defensively.

The next two games offer us the chance for a massive win. If we beat Newcastle then great.

But if we dont and we go and beat Leicester we'll leapfrog them by 2 points and get ahead of Leeds too because by that point I'm pretty sure B'mouth will have beaten them.

We can create all these scenarios but it's really time the team got another win. Brentfrod seems an age ago.

A win in the next two game (preferably two!) is required as a matter of urgency.

Onana and the Duke back on Thursday, DCL up top, Goodison under the lights.

We’re staying up, 100%.
