Relegation 2022/23

[Saint Domingo]

Draws against Brighton and City?

Absolute fantasy island stuff

Did you not read the ‘or’ in the middle?

Also we got a point at the Etihad earlier, but it’s now impossible to get one at Goodison?

 

[Marius57]

I’ve said it before. 3 draws v Leicester, one of City or Brighton, and Wolves, I’m convinced takes us to the last day with us still in it to play Bournemouth at home.

And you think our players could handle that pressure? You’ve seen them over the last few years right?

 

[Brennan]

Wolves, yes, Brighton have been absolutely brilliant since De Zerbi took over, we'll do well to get something down there, particularly with our away record and current defensive record. That's not to say we can't but that is a very hard fixture.

Absolutely.

 

[dannyboy]

Very different brighton now though
Not impossible but very tough
If we could get a pt we'd presumably go above leeds coz they'll lose by more than 1 goal
Our survival could depend on who concedes least against city
Crazy stuff

It's not impossible but we need to make it a horrible game and give them absolutely nothing. If they play anywhere near their potential then we lose comfortably unfortunately.

 

[mccole]

We are due a WIN

We have fight and a fully fit striker.

We can beat Brighton

 

[davek]

Piles the pressure on Wolves match big time though. What's the record like there? All I can remember from last season's game is a terrible backpass from someone gifting Jimenez a goal.

One game at a time.

I'm expecting now 'one from the blue' which is what we can deliver as we all know.

 

[Toffeepot]

Got to presume Saints will give it their all v forest, last chance for them, lose or draw they're done

 

[Kantareller]

Min 7 points needed. And then it would be a great escape at best

 

[Saint Domingo]

And you think our players could handle that pressure? You’ve seen them over the last few years right?

If we don’t do it we don’t do it. There’s no point predicting that we’re going to win every remaining game, the route I’ve laid out is what I think is the only available route. We might still fall short. I’d rather have a chance on the last day though at Goodison than be playing away.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Seen a lot of chat that the point didn’t do us any good tonight. Maybe it feels that way, but it’s the two points Leicester didn’t get that make the big difference tonight. Passing two teams from three won’t be easy, but it’s a hell of a lot easier when none of them gained points on us this weekend.

Utterly crucial point. We need to be breathing down Leeds and Forest's necks and as you say stops Leicester from pulling away.

 

[wiggum23]

Looking at the fixtures and guessing the outcome based on probability Forest and Leicester could end on 34, Leeds 32, so we need 34 to stay up.

 

[jinkyali]

Monday goes a long way to deciding things in my opinion.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Iwobi - all fart no [Poor language removed] mate. Time for him to stand up or ship out.

That wasn't the point. Your point was that Davies would be better than him out there, and in the center of the park

Iwobi > Davies in the middle all day

Seen a lot of chat that the point didn’t do us any good tonight. Maybe it feels that way, but it’s the two points Leicester didn’t get that make the big difference tonight. Passing two teams from three won’t be easy, but it’s a hell of a lot easier when none of them gained points on us this weekend.

a win would have been massive

Losing would have relegated us

A draw lets us live another day. Absolutely must beat Wolves now to have a shot

Realistically getting a result from Brighton or City is highly unlikely

 

[Royal]

Do you think if we show city that clip of dixie saying he hopes they win the fa cap if we don't then they might go easy on us

 

[Baggzio]

Well then. I think we don’t have a chance at a point against Brighton or City obviously. Means that the absolute maximum we get is 35 points.

2 wins from anyone above us seals safety for them. Our only hope is Leeds perhaps not picking up another point. I think it’s so bad that 33 could possibly keep someone up, we need to beat Wolves and Bournemouth, it’s not gonna be easy.
