Relegation 2022/23

[Lob]

Really can't see the RS losing tonight. They are on something like a 7 on the trot win streak and are 4 points behind 4th spot. They will be well up for it and really want the 3 points regardless of it doing us a favour.

I think Forest will survive, after yesterday’s results Arsenal will be shot and they will loose at Forest next Saturday. That means two from three. If Dcl is injured we’re in trouble, morale will plummet.

Sound the klaxon.

Okay so we hunt you down now you've jinxed it.

Someone honestly said to me yest(everton fan aswell) Moyes will put out a full strength team v leeds and leicester to help Everton.

Anyone remember how quickly he got on his knees when Alex Ferguson came calling. Or 5 minutes out the door he came back with a pittance offer for fellaini and baines.

Everton players need two massive performances. Rely on nobody else.

The weekend wasn't a great one, and will be a bad one if Liverpool don't win tonight.

Never realistically expected anything out of the City game, but if Calvert-Lewin is really injured then it takes on a whole different level, because that could be fundamental to our chances.

Pretty much expected Forest to get something against Chelsea because, well, Lampard

The more worrying thing from the weekend for me was Leeds - I didn't have them down as getting that point against Newcastle and, if we are all honest, they looked much-improved. Their remaining games against a West Ham side who'll have just come off the back of a European semi final a couple of days prior and at home to a powder puff Spurs side on the final day are winnable fixtures.

I'm now starting to believe that we might need to win both of the final games

If you are factoring Leeds getting 6 or even 4 points, we won’t necessarily have to win both games, as Forest are still catchable, even with one win possibly.

Don't think it will be heavily weakened West Ham teams for either game...

They play their 2nd leg on Thursday, which they are already 2-1 up on...... big game, but expect they will have enough to go through!

Sunday is their last home game of the season against Leeds. Still think they will have enough to not get beat!

Then they have 1 full week of rest before they play Leicester! Then the final is not for another 10 days after that last game of the season! Expect he will want some consistency and match fitness going into the final!

well if leeds are getting 4/6 we need to win both games. and what about leicester? if they win they’res we’re f d

 

[matty1878]

This is all that mathamatical BS. Same as saying Arsenal can still win the title. 3 out of the bottom 4 will be relegated IMO.

long as the BS works for us mate lol

I'd agree with this, whilst saying it could obviously all be the case and Leeds still win. We don't need to ponder too much, we will see soon enough.

You could make more of an argument for sides being on the beach for our remaining fixtures, than you could for West Ham, but it's all fairly arbitrary at this stage.

Form and momentum cannot be turned on and off like a tap, and that applies to most teams. Its all a bit much of a muchness for the sides in the bottom half, where a 6 point swing could see you near to going down, the quality and consistency are not there to predict with any degree of certainty at all. Games are not thrown on purpose. Home advantage does tend to be an important predictor though over the course of a season, and moreso for the bottom teams.

There is a strong argument that all four teams get no more than a point each next weekend, at best. I'd say two defeats, and either two draws, or one team having an outside chance of three.

Out of all the teams that are playing teams with nothing to play for I think forest have the toughest one in that palace game.
Good atmosphere at palace, last home game, probably hodgson last game in football.
Think that will be a tough game for them

Yeah Haha.

Anything is possible after what we did to Brighton but it is very unlikely with how leaky Leicester are and how good the RS currently are. The RS will have a field day in this (In theory lol)

 

[matty1878]

not one team is “on the beach”

i hate this saying

do it ourselves or we kiss this league goodbye

 

[matty1878]

liverpool best win! or don’t log in lol

 

[MACCA75]

Ours is still better?

If we both landed on 35 points then it would be reversed by virtue of them having one result better than us.
