Relegation 2022/23

[davek]

Looks likely to go to the final day. If it’s in our hands at that point, I think we’d take that.

Yes. But I'm now greedy. We need to go into that either safe or needing a draw with others needing snookers.

 

[cooperman]

An absolute outrage. Win 5-1 away and relegated on the same day

The pain this team have inflicted on us runs so deep in us all.

Even three up with 10 to play today I was convinced it would all go to pot

 

[MrGrumpy]

our result shows how any team can win

 

[davek]

Point be huge, they won’t look forward to Goodison.

Not one bit of it mate.

We have momentum.

 

[NathDogg]

We need a new RB too.

That's the reality of it.

Yes, totally agree - sound logic.

Coleman can’t play forever when hopefully he is fit, so he can be back up/alternate with Patterson, and we sign another to cover Coleman and Patterson.

I also think going 2 points clear forces Leeds and Leicester into going for wins against far superior opposition in two of their three games which will leave them open.

It’s probably not too adventurous for Leicester as they like to attack but Allardyces plan for Leeds is probably now out the window.

 

[MrGrumpy]

City are in Madrid

 

[davek]

jesus christ dave, keep it down!!

I'm a wee cocky [Poor language removed] and even I think we need a couple more points

I'm just saying it is entirley possible that Leciseter and Leeds dont get more than another point each.

Not improbable TBF.

I defo do think that another 2 points will see us through.

 

[davek]

Yes, totally agree - sound logic.

Coleman can’t play forever when hopefully he is fit, so he can be back up/alternate with Patterson, and we sign another to cover Coleman and Patterson.

Let's just hope it's in the PL and we can have this debate at leisure.

I;d go for Livramento though.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Who is everyone else playing?

 

[Blue peter]

Point be huge, they won’t look forward to Goodison.

Slight issue with that outlook is that our more favourable results recently have been away from home so we will need to treat it like an away game

 

[Neiler]

Not one bit of it mate.

We have momentum.

Make it a bear pit and a battle, disrupt, and be as tight what we were at the Eithad and keep up the counter we saw today, you can get at them.

Confidence and momentum, huge accelerators, 4 points in the last two, if we manage that over the next three…..

[Ring master]

The thing with this relegation fight is it gives teams in a way a certain advantage of knowing each others results, as no one is playing same time, if that helps or make;s it worst for teams i dont know, only time we all play same time is final day - like it is for the whole league

 

[good times bad times]

Looks likely to go to the final day. If it’s in our hands at that point, I think we’d take that.

We will definitely not be relegated before the final day which is something to savour at least. And with the increase in the level of performance in the last 2 games there is every chance we will get the points required now.

Would have taken this position at the start of the day. It is a massive relief.
