Relegation 2022/23

[bcblue1878]

genuinely suprised we still haven’t had a nyarko moment or worse yet

If we are down already, or go as a result of what goes on against Bournemouth I hate to think what will happen - I suspect the Nyarko moment will be mild in comparison!

Results around us now mean nothing. We have to win 3 out of our last 5. Seeing as we have only won 6 in 33 I think we all know the way this is gonna end up.

All against teams that, at the time of writing, have something to play for. I can’t remember many, if any teams waiting until the last 5 games of the season to hit their purple patch. Great Escape West Brom, maybe?

 

[Carlito]

That's simply not true.

We've had a real relegation threat only last season and this for the last 24 years.

It was never ever on the cards we'd be relegated under Martinez. He left us in 12th place.

You used to routinely insist that Moyes nearly went down in 2004, no matter how often it was pointed out that it was a case of tumbling down the table in April/May while being mathematically safe.

The thought of going to that City game in 2 weeks is genuinely depressing. I don't think I'll bother if we lose the net two.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Monday is huge for you guys. Got to go for the win because nothing else will do.

We get beat, they just lob the ball over the back 4 and Vardy will be in

City could be the one that sees us off. Horrific going into that needing to win to stay alive.

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

we're going to need 36 points at least to survive.
Personally, i think we're gone We're running out of games, we aren't scoring goals and I really struggle to see who we beat.
tonight and Monday are vital now. If we don't take 6 points we risk being cut adrift and whats really worrying is I can see Southampton grabbing more points and us falling to the bottom.
Not to be all doom and gloom, if Dom can stay fit we have a chance but again, we are rapidly running out of games

yep... we're gone

Don’t think we have a purple patch in us mate. All the other teams around us at least have attacking options. We have dcl and gray, the rest aren’t even worth bothering with.

 

[Bez2k2k]

Beat Leicester. Then who knows. Let’s just have a good bloody go at them! COYB!

From last night's team

Pickford....Sunderland
Godfrey...Norwich
Keane....Burnley
Tarkowski...Burnley
McNeil...Burnley
Doucoure....Watford

That's the team's backbone , & all from clubs with relegation on their CV.
Even Gana relegated with Villa.

Add to that
Onana....Farmers lge
Mykolenko...Farmers lge
Garner...Championship
Maupay Championship player.

The position we are in has been coming for a long while , recruitment has been shocking.

We've been circling this drain for far too long.

I’m not pinning this on Martinez mate. I’m saying the signs were there at the time.

There’s no way we’ve gone through about a dozen managers in such a short space of time without being under some kind of threat.

The fact is every season or 2, at some point we slip dangerously close to the relegation spots, sack the manager, get an uplift for a bit and then rinse and repeat.

You circle the drain long enough and you’re going to get sucked down.

We were firewalled agianst relegation until the money man tipped up.

Under Moyes and under Martinez we were never anywhere near relegation. That's the truth of it. Saying this is a long run thing that goes before Moshiri came here is absurd for me.

 

[gazzaa2]

If we go down at least it'll see us escape the PL punishment.

Ok, date it back to Moshiri then if you want, I’m not really arsed.

The bulk of the point is, this relegation is [x amount of years] in the making.

 

[MichaelEFC96]

As long as the points are still there mathematically the miracle is still possible, but these players can’t roll their sleeves up and perform. They’re a disgrace.

That was in relation to the jibes at Martinez. As others pointed out the 17th place was always as worse as it was going to get that season.
