Relegation 2022/23

[Zezti]

Don't make me hope again, Everton.

 

[Leylo]

Don't wanna be that guy, but I don't honestly think we get another point this season. We're abysmal. Prove me wrong. 2 seasons with maybe 15 wins and 50 goals. Not good enough

Cheers your name said it all

That Forest result would get any other players focused on nothing but a win on Monday....

TBF I'd take that and move on. However, you stand a better chance to grab a point by taking the game to Leicester.

The time for caution is gone now.

Every time I see Forest, Leeds, Soton falter I am more positive even if we haven’t won. I think DCL and Coleman are real positives. We need a captain to grab us by the scruff of the neck and drag us over the line.

Without being funny and I know most people on here hated him but we need a Phil Neville tackle moment

The debate was over Leicester not Everton. They haven't shored up under Smith.

But neither have we, we’ve gotten worse. Plus they’ve scored 44 goals and we’ve scored 25

And seeing as we play Leicester next, it’s important to look at all the variables

Old habits die hard.
A nice stress free Saturday, throw in some beers and share of a bottle chilled white knowing I can enjoy life now that we're sunk, then I see the manner of the Forest defeat then I'm back in the real world. I'm shaking like a crapping dog thinking we can actually do it after all.
Please give us a repeat of the Leicester fixture last year then I think we can do it.

Certainly focus the Leicester players. Our lot ….

I can't get my head around this "Relegation will make us bigger and stronger as a club and enable us to rebuild" argument.

I will still be going to the match even if we end up in the National League North, but frankly many thousands of blues will refuse to watch us in the Championship if we get relegated this season. And I kind of get that. So we will have fewer fans, almost no revenue, none of our international players such as Pickford and enormous debts with no money with which to service them. How can we rebuild in those circumstances? If we are relegated to the championship the only way is further down. Much further down.

West Ham, Newcastle, Fulham.... Leeds and countless others would disagree.
All we need is a very rich.....
Yeah were done mate

 

[knowing your history]

The Smith record so far is 5 conceded.

Man. City away was one of them. RS and Arsenal both conceded 4 there in last month, Newcastle two so it's not really a game to dismiss a defence and from what I saw they played well second half and built on that momentum in taking 4 points off Wolves-Leeds.

 

[Cjplennon]

Its funny the mentality game though. I saw forrest one nil up and thought game over. With them losing its back in our hands. COYBs!

 

[davek]

If Leeds get beat by B'mouth (sorry for repesating myself here!) and Forest dont beat S'ton at home next week I think there's a real chance neither Leeds or Forest stay on 30 points or at best total 31 points.

That's obvioulsy dependent on two big results going against those two in their next games, but I dont think that's fanciful at all.

It could well be we need 3 points to survive.

I know. I sadly have zero confidence in them not folding on monday. I hate them and everyone for it.

I’d prefer to win a game like

Oh ok, let's not count it eh because it was "one of them".

I wish you'd told me the rules first like: you just drop an inconvenient result so as to not destroy your own argument.

Ok, gotcha.
