Relegation 2022/23

[Stanley Parker]

can’t see that though.

Can't see Forest beating Brighton at home tonight?

But it's just as hard to see Everton scoring more goals than Newcastle at home tomorrow night.

Everton have scored seven in the last eight games, while Newcastle scored six against Spurs!

 

[Brennan]

Leicester should never be getting two more days to prepare for that than us. WTF are they doung scheduling us for Thursday instead of tonight?

It also means we get two days more to prepare for the Newcastle game than Leicester got for Leeds.

Swings and roundabouts.

How are you guys feeling?
Still reckon we're the most likely to go, last night very frustrating.
If we don't beat Bournemouth on Sunday we're screwed.

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

Lampards way down the list imo.

Give any manager a couple of decent strikers in this Everton squad and even I'd be able to get them out of trouble. We were on a hiding to nothing the minute the first whistle of the season went with the chronic lack of options up top.

Cough……Chelsea……cough…….twice…..

Whilst it may be "fun" to speculate, truth is we don't know which Everton will turn up at which game. It could be the "Arsenal" version or it could be the "Fulham" version.

If we get more of the former we will squeak home, if we get the latter we are probably doomed. Even then Leeds, Leicester, Southampton and Notts Forest will have a big say in what happens - if we are to rely on ourselves, then we need to put some "sweat on the shirt", to quote our manager.

We’ll let you know at 10pm tomorrow evening.

Honestly I don't know.
Wouldn't discount any of the bottom 5 but it does seem to be 1 from 3 for 18th.
It will go down to the last day I think between Leeds and Everton.

Think it's a shootout for the bottom 5, maybe Bournemouth get dragged back in, but that fluke against spurs likely saves them, a surprising result from a side could change everything.

 

[Lanolin]

No point worrying about other teams picking up a point here and there, it's bound to happen. We're not staying up with 30 points or less and we never were, we need to find a couple of wins from somewhere or we're down, it doesn't matter how many overcomplicated calculations we run through.

I think a forest win tonight throws things even more up in the air and heaps even more pressure on both of our sides.

 

[mccole]

The field is narrowing...

Leicester (29 points/ -13 g/d), Leeds (30 points/ -21 g/d) and Bournemouth (33 points/ -32 g/d) still in this mix.

4/6 points would be perfect in the next 2 games. Even 2 draws/1 win not terrible but it puts more pressure on the run in.

DCL, Doucoure, Onana and Coleman/Patterson back for these two games hopefully makes it our strongest XI.

I think if we beat Bournemouth on Sunday it gets interesting, but I can't see that happening.

I don't disagree. If it comes down to a last day shootout I think we're screwed.

Ultimately he failed so on the list he goes.

Ultimately Ancelotti failed and chose to walk away leaving us in the lurch then but he never made the list.

We would never be in this position with Ancelotti. Players would come her just to be coached by him. If we believe that players were refusing to sign for us in January, no doubt it would have been different with Carlo.

Lampard, The Board, Thelwell, FSW are all way ahead of Ancelotti. He walked away to coach a team that won the Champions League +++ I don't begrudge him that.
