Relegation 2022/23

[davek]

We need to get ahead of Forest.

They'll pull away next game against Southampton.

Somehow get above them and I think we'll see 3 from the other 4 down.

Will they though?

I wouldnt mark 3 points down for them in that game.

 

[Chegsy]

It wasn't that long ago Bournemouth were right down there with us, now they are 11 pts ahead of us, crazy.

Fair play to them. They looked nailed on earlier in the season to be the club that finished rock bottom. Invested well in Jan and have been great the last couple of months.

Our hierarchy should be ashamed.

 

[Blue peter]

Doesnt matter if were in the bottom 3 until the season is over.

If its towards the end of the Leicester game and the scores are level its going to be a real stick or twist situation.

it is about picking points up, but obviously the less games to play, the longer we are in the bottom 3 - the more the need to pick up 3 points becomes. I would rather we approach it with that mentality now rather than see the odd freak result from our rivals, where we may need to win with two games to go….these players aren’t great under pressure

 

[Swartzy]

Quite right @joey. Though some in here may call you a 'superbloo' for daring to have that hope.
The Kool Kids on here decided that we were doomed long ago and they can't resist telling you so at every opportunity.
They're onto a win win situation - if we go down they can say that they 'knew it all along' and anybody who had been clinging onto hope was being foolish.
if we stay up they will point out how lucky we were, but also how delighted they are to be proven wrong.

Well either way, you must admit if we do stay up than the 'how lucky we were' statement would be true...

We're not in this position through bad luck, we are here because we deserve to be here. As sad as that is to say!!

There's some people again in this thread who sound like they've spat the dummy out.

 

[kenada_blue]

On the ale. Saw they took Gordon off at half time and won 3.1. lol

 

[Zatara]

…that’s quite funny.

I’d actually prefer to be in Leeds and Forests position with points on the board rather than a game in hand. Anyway, other results are giving us a bit of hope.

Good luck Blues.

Id have 4 players from Forest.
LB: Lodi
DM/CM: Danilo
ACM: Gibbs-White
RW: Johnson

Also a bunch from Leicester.

Leeds, only perhaps Gnonto.

If we can get ahead of Forest then i think we'll be safe.

 

[Toffeeback]

Everton being handed lifelines left, right & centre this weekend.

It really is all on them now to start proving that they want to stay in this league - no more excuses.

Door is wide open for us after today. Win tomorrow and - looking at the remaining fixtures for Leeds, Leicester, and Forest - that alone makes it likely that we’ll get to the last day with at least a win-and-stay-up chance against Bournemouth.

 

[Saint Domingo]

People do remember we literally drew at Palace two games ago? You’d think we were on a ten game losing streak the way people go on.

Great results this weekend. Teams have missed their chance, now it’s our turn, we’re capable of getting points from Leicester no question.

 

[Goodisongang]

I’m starting to get a little hope again lol

don't do it to yourself

 

[Blue peter]

Fair play to Bournemouth really, they have really turned things around with not the greatest squad. They've won 5 from 7 now.

Shows what can be done

Over half of our points total for the season in 7 games!

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Can someone do a pie chart ffs !

 

[TraffordBlue]

34 may be enough if we can keep our goal difference better than Leeds'. I expect both them and Forest to win 1 game from their final 4 so with a draw as well that puts them on 34.

Could mean we need 2 wins from 5 or 1 win and 3 draws.

 

[Furey1878]

Great result for us to go along with yesterday's result.

These teams are determined to make sure we'll have at least have a final day game to get clear.

IMO we'll have the next 4 games to make sure we start that final day against B'mouth needing a draw or win.

Bournemouth effectively safe now as well, hopefully if we can seal safety on the last day then they are well and truly on their holidays by that point.

 

[DrEFC]

Honestly think we're toast.

But we will beat city.
