Relegation 2022/23

Think he ran his course too to add to that - he's always been a 2-3 season manager at most anywhere before it goes sour.

He can come here if he gets us 5th place finishes and a trophy.

He's very decent manager. Not great, but very competent when driven and backed with cash.

The point is dave forget how the season has gone. A desperate team is a dangerous animal. They go into games with a different approach now. Leicester players look like they know they are dead. Leeds dont.

They were all but beaten by an out of sorts Newcastle team. It was there for them on a plate and they blew it.

Allardyce so far: 1 point from 4.

West Ham v Leeds looks like the key game of the season to me.

On paper they look like having a great chance at a win Leeds.

They're hopeless though, and I think any expectation like that on a team that's conceded 71 goals will be toxic for them on the day.

Imagine it was us: supposed to win at West Ham regardless of how long West Ham had to prepare for it. We'd know we wouldn't get the job done...and Leeds are worse than us.

IMO a draw for us against Wolves and one more against B'mouth will get the job done.

Totally dependent on Thursday night for me. That’s where the pendulum swings. If West Ham progress, they won’t lose, if they lose and they’re a cert for safety anyway, then why get into a scrap, why risk injuries and anything else.

West Ham win, it’s a squad of lads who are desperate to impress to get picked in XI/Squad for West Ham’s first final in what? 20 years.

I’m bored of supporting other teams, but West Ham will have a huge say in who stays up and who goes down.

Maximum yo-yo.

Let's give that a crack ourselves.

That was supposed to be this season

 

[Gilbert..]

Bizarre isn’t it. If we don’t beat Wolves then being relegated is entirely out of our hands for the first time in decades, but people are falling over themselves to pretend it’s an impossibility.

Its the flip of a coin depending on one set of games this weekend. We could be mini safe. Or go into bournemouth reliant on other teams results.
There is a bit flippancy with some. Dunno where its coming from.

Don't worry, two relegation battles just means two titles.

 

[barneygumble]

Leicester's board offered him no cash last summer. I think that was the reason Rodgers couldn't get them going.

His record at Leicrster has been fanatastic tbf.

Rodgers just has a shelf life.

If we had a board who could plan to support him for 2-3 years and then plan for his quick demise then I’d have no quarrels with having Rodgers. Liverpool did great, quickly unravelled and had Klopp as their main target. Leicester banker on him turning it round, it didn’t work.

He’s the biggest ego in football, a complete sociopath, but I’d give anything for a trophy.

 

[jinkyali]

What makes you think he'll have an eye on the Everton job mate?

He's told me he would walk over broken glass to lead us out at BMD.

 

[Ring master]

lads can we write of leicester now?

No one can write anyone off till it is an absolute cert, imagine if Leicester somehow got a win at the Toon as unlikely as that is and went above us, if we didnt win saturday.

 

[Kirkles]

I think we need one win to stay up. Leicester are as good as gone , Forest will lose to Arsenal and then even if they draw with Palace we'll stay up on goal difference with a win.

 

[barneygumble]

Allardyce first 6 games at Everton when brought in to keep us out of a relegation scrap were 3 wins and 3 draws.
Im not sure why you're "proper laughing"

Similarly, Allardyce’s first 6 games as West Brom manager went PW1 D1 L4, including
3-0, 4-0 and 5-0 losses.

Leeds aren’t as poor as West Brom, and I’m very worried about them, but depends how much you trust us. If you can see us picking up 4 points, do you see Allardyce winning the final 2?

 

[Gilbert..]

They were all but beaten by an out of sorts Newcastle team. It was there for them on a plate and they blew it.

Allardyce so far: 1 point from 4.

More or less everyone on this forum gave them 0 points against city and newcastle.
As stated. Both teams have both played them in the last few weeks.
Everton. 0 points 1 goal conceded 7
Leeds 1 point 3 goals conceded 4.

The predictors are a waste of time. They are not leicester. They are not dead. And nobody should be looking it that way.

Dean'Deano'Smith:

"When we came in here Leicester had lost 7 out of 8..."

Isn't that why he and the other two rats were hired? Apparently it was to ease them into the Championship according to Smith.

Pathetic.

 

[Walken]

Harsh.

FA Cup win, 5th place finishes.

5th place is nowhere when you have occupied 4th. He's a bottle job and his side reflects that. I just wish he was still there when they get relegated

 

[spectateur]

It's obvious and no doubt has been pointed out before.
In our last two games we just have to equal the results of Leeds and Leicester.
Bettering their results would be a bonus.
