Relegation 2022/23

[Walken]

Forest are safe after that imo. Between us, Leicester and Leeds for the bottom two spots.

Not sure how thats the case, they are literally one set of fixtures from being in the relegation zone and have arsenal next

 

[JLW]

How?

No one is safe until they get a minimum of 35 points!
I think 35 is enough based on the teams below us fixtures.

 

[BrendanGOT]

They play Arsenal next.

Yeah and they play Palace end of season who will be in holiday mode.

Palace will beat Forest at home for me.

I certainly hope so but we're talking a team playing for survival vs a team safe and ready to jet off for the summer.

 

[If You Know Your History]

3 more points probably does it.

Win tomorrow or win against Wolves or win against Bournemouth and home on the final day and we are are probably safe.

Top tip.

Stop reading Kev The Gerbils posts.

….it’s a nonsense to assume teams are in ‘holiday mode’ or ‘wearing flip flops’. They are professionals and there’s nothing they enjoy more than playing in big games. Strangely enough, teams in those positions can play with a freedom whilst their opponents are tense. Bournemouth will look forward to their last game because there’s plenty on it.

The only certain thing is the uncertainty.

You can just as easily say that about our games against Wolves and Bournemouth

Fulham came to Goodison a couple of weeks ago with there shorts, flip flops and a cap with a fan on it and beat us comfortably.
Forest are by no means safe yet, they will be underdogs in both games.

He definitely would. It's great we can now be the one ahead on points, not arsed if Leeds/Leicester draw because thats basically wasting a game they have left.

That win at Brighton has been such a massive bonus and a boost, it's hard to put in words how much good that has done for our chances and our morale now for the next 3 teams. Also +4 goals to boot, which gives us an edge on Leeds in the GD column.
32 goals all season and 5 of them last Monday 16% of our goals in one match!

Wolves seem to be asleep at the wheel. Bournemouth couldn't give a stuff. Their only remotely local team just went down so even their crowd won't be arsed now.

Spot on mate.

It was critical neither won - especially Leeds.

Today was a day of fluctuating emotions, but we have settled in a place that is far more comfortable than where we were as Patrick Bamford stepped up to take his penalty.

100% agree.

Huge missed opportunity for Leeds given that they were at home with 37,000 fans behind them from the first whistle to the last.

They now have to somehow get an away win and/or cause an upset against Spurs on the final day.

I think that a big missed opportunity for forest as well. Yes they were away, but lampards chelsea have lost about 7 of their last 8 or something like that.

@maccavennie when he sees Kevin Thelwell trying to enter Goodison with Che Adams. Watch out for that pool, lads
