Relegation 2022/23

[luuk_deventer]

A win against either Wolves or Bournemouth, should realistically put us safe, unless Leeds or Leicester pull off a surprise, which isn’t out of the question.

The thing is that Wolves at Molyneux is very, very tough. They have been “on the beach” for over a month and have still beaten Chelsea, Villa, Palace and Brentford in their last 4 games there.

A point would not be the worst outcome for us to take to the last day.

We’ve won 7 out of 9 at home without conceding, away we’ve been very different.

...Brighton that had just come off a Wembley oitch having played 120 minutes on it.

Question: do you believe if Brighton had time to prepare for that game Forest had even taken a point?

That does not matter. They got the win, whatever the reason. If Brighton had played as well as they did today, we wouldn’t have won. But they didn’t and we did, thankfully.

Forest went to Chelsea and got a 2-2. They got a draw off Man City and beat Brighton comfortably. We did the same (and drew with them) so you could argue there isn’t really a huge difference between the two teams.

I don’t think I can deal with it going to the final game. Don’t know if the players could either.

Need to find safety with win against Wolves on Saturday.

Here's the thing, we all see the teams around us and turn them into peak Brazil 1970.

A sensible sporting competition would have relegated half the league by March. But this is psycho-drama to sell engagement.

There's no way we don't pick up the required points needed. Not a chance.

Southampton, Leeds, Leicester drop. We'll be fine.

My primary concern at this point is the fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. If he's out again then it'll be a huge loss in what is two extremely pivotal games left.

I think he will be fine, Dyche knew the game was gone and he wanted to protect him.

It was described by Dyche as 'precautionary' as he felt tightness in his hamstring. We all know though what happened the last time he was substituted as a 'precaution'..

I really hope there is nothing wrong with him and it’s just that Dyche would never publicly admit that he took him off to save his legs because it would mean he was effectively “throwing” the game at 2-0 down. No manager would want to admit that, but privately he might feel that way.

If DCL misses either game, I can’t see how or where we score from. Everything goes through him.

It’s anxiety I think. There’s a lot of it in the fan base. It’s built up over a considerable time.

Beat Wolves and Bournemouth

Listen, I've pulled myself to shreds the last two seasons.

Reports detailing our absolute end as a club if we go down keep me awake at night.

I despair, I do my head in trying to wish back time and undo all the sh**e we saddled ourselves with.

But, all of that. All of it. Doesn't matter. We'll find a way, Wolves and Bournemouth. We're going to be ok.
