Relegation 2022/23

[Johnnytotal]

If we get tanked by City I expect confidence will be zilch again and we lose the last 2.

That could be the 50 years nearly of being a blue though in me.

One thing for sure we have to play counter attack for the last 3 as trying to break teams down is not in us.

Leicester's goal difference still worries me; those three goals they somehow nicked yesterday might be huge for them. If they beat West Ham and steal a point off Liverpool, I think they're safe. Come on Liverpool ffs.

I fancy the RS to beat them, they have top 4 in their sights and Leicester’s defence is a show.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Have the fixtures changed?

No, we play before Forest, Leeds and Leicester.

If we can get anything from the dead rubber v City we give ourselves every chance, but its very unlikely.

IMO we need 2 wins v Wolves and Bournemouth to have any chance.

RS should have a field day with Leicester’s back line.

We need 6 more points. To have any chance. Really?
That would mean Leicester and Leeds winning there last 3 games

If we go into Bournemouth needing to win these bunch of cowards will fold like they always do.

We need it in our hands.

Bunkum.

Bunkum.

Leeds and Leicester have some horrific games left, but as last night showed, results dont always go as planned.

We could stay up without winning another game, but what we know is that if we beat Wolves and Bournemouth, we stay up, maybe.

It was more a joke I was making on the whole prediction thing.

ah

 

[matty1878]

I’m going with Southampton as one of them.

i hope so

“maybe”

If we beat wolves and Bournemouth we stay up. Guaranteed!

I dont like counting chickens.

Leicester - narrative/expectation all season has been they're too good to go down, and will put together some results. I shared their fan forum before they played us and they all seemed very confident they'd stay up.

Now is the first time I think it's switched - the expectation is they could down given their next 2 fixtures. That expectation can sometimes relieve some pressure. They're not expected to get a result from their next two. That can be dangerous...

They remind me of us last season to a degree. "Too good to go down" etc...

There's two ways of looking at it, I suppose. I think last season we realised that we are in serious, serious danger of relegation in April, after Burnley beat us with more games to go (9) and winnable games at that.

Leicester now, 3 games left. Perhaps the severity of it has dawned on them too late. They were lucky to avoid defeats to us and Leeds. Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham will all be tough games.

I'd be utterly bricking it if I were them.
