Relegation 2022/23

[jazzy]

The bare minimum is 3 points out of the next 3 games , probably 4 , to give us any chance of getting something in the final game to stay up.

I think 6 points.. I can see the teams around us winning atleast 1 more game... All our hopes are on wolves away Bournemouth at home...

Oh I agree that we will need to beat Bournemouth but to get to the point of still being alive by that game we will need 3 or 4 points in the 3 games that preceed the final match

I’ve written off the Brighton and City games in terms of winning. In an ideal world a draw in one but 80% convinced we get 0 points.

But Wolves away is a must win and obviously so is Bournemouth

Winning two consecutive games is beyond us at this point I think.

My best guess is 1 or 0 points from the next 3

You're probably right Kev but if we play like we did last night it's not beyond the realms of possibility that we can win l one and draw one of the next 3 games

 

[Gilbert..]

Really need southampton to get a win or draw at forest.

 

[brieverton]

My gut feeling is that Forest will stay up. I think Leeds will go, leaving the final place between us and Leicester.

Their game against Fulham will be huge for us. If they lost that and we were able to take a point against Brighton, then in that scenario we'd be in with a good shout of finishing above them come 28 May.

 

[Marius57]

personally think we are gone. But I’m not sure Leeds or Leicester win another game. So one win could keep us up. Just can’t see where we get it at this point.

 

[jazzy]

Fat Sam at Leeds is not good news. Under Gracia I don't see them getting anything in their final games. Under a new manager - who knows?

 

[toffee-boy]

Also Leeds will probably get a new manager bounce..... Leicester have too much quality I feel... They can score goals...

I will look back and think of the gray goal against Leeds the was / wasn't offside.

Gordon giving away that free kick to Southampton

Wolves game letting a goal in the last kick of the game

 

[neil999]

Of course if Leicester can't beat us who leeds or else are they gonna beat???

 

[toffee-boy]

Also even if it's last game of the season.. I think Leicester, Leeds and Forrest can pick up points on the last day too.

Leeds have spurs at home who on self destruct

Forrest have palace away

Leicester have west ham at home

Until yesterday I was more in the we'll be relegated camp but I'm now edging closer to 50/50 after last night game/result and considering other teams fixtures.

I’m roughly 60/40 (not in our favour)
A win last night would’ve swung it the other way for me.

We still have a way out, but we NEED wins. And we need other teams to carry on being crap.
If we’re still within distance of a couple of teams after the next 2 fixtures, our odds jump a bit.

 

[garyw]

It is still possible that 1 more point can keep us up

True. But if that’s what we aim for, I think you’ll find we’ll go down, with ease.
