Relegation 2022/23

[bluelife]

Forest there showing real fight. Something our players have barely shown all season.

In fairness we did the same to the same team when they came to Goodison. Difference is Forest found their hero when it mattered in Awoniyi, 5 goals in 3 games, we didn't.

 

[Dougie]

Forest they’re showing real fight. Something our players have barely shown all season.

They had the prefect team to play. Arsenal have been so poor these last 6-8 games. They look exhausted and deflated with injuries and forest took advantage.

No guarantees we can handle the pressure and missing players to get what we need at Goodison on the final day. We are left wishing ill upon others as it's out of out hands now. Both Leeds and Leicester know that they win both games they at least finish above us.

It's better to stop thinking and check where we are on Tuesday.

I'd love to mate. All the permutations constantly running through my head. One thing's for sure is that after next Sunday I won't give football a moment's thought until the new season starts in August.

Bournemouth won't defeat us. They are crap. We're also at home too. 34 points will be enough to stay up.

Our home form is terrible FFS.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Forest the perfect example of what a team can do when they go all out for 3 points week-in week-out despite their limitations. A terrible GD compared to the three they've just left in the dust, yet it literally doesn't even matter now!

 

[Gilbert..]

Let's see what Leeds do tomorrow.

Dont forget: they have had the nightmare day not us. We have gained a point and Forest are out of it. The pressure has ramped up even more on Leeds now to get a win.

Allardyce will know a draw isn't good enough as we can beat them final day by a point if we both win.

This has been a terrible day for Leeds.

Our 99th minute winner has handed Allardyce a real headache.

No the nightmare day was forest AND Everton winning. The fact they can go above Everton tomorrow is anything but a nightmare day. Its gave them the smell of blood. Wether they are good enough remains to be seen.
Stop the mad posts.

With no DCL it's going to be a big ask.

You were telling everyone ‘Forest aware done’ when people have looked at the potential worst case scenarios you have generally stated that people are pissing their kecks. No one was doing this…it was a genuine appraisal of the risks the situation posed. These risks are very much real tonight. None of us can be sure of what will happen

Its not an exact science lad.

The general commentary from me has been that the teams around us are all terrible and that we've never been out of the race to be safe...and that still holds in the table I'm looking at.

 

[Blue peter]

Goes without saying that West Ham v Leeds is now the most important game of our season.

If Leeds lose then we only need a point at home to Bournemouth in all likelihood to stay up.

Even if they draw it’s not catastrophic - I do reckon a win though and it’s the end of the line for us.

Everyone knows the reasons we are where we are - but it sums us up in a nutshell that we need an enormous favour from David Moyes and his hungover squad to keep us up.

And that’s where the risk is real and where it sits now. It is now out of our hands we can no longer control the situation (hopefully only up to Monday night). We are now relying on faith, hope and charity

 

[RomanReigns]

On a positive note we are top of the relegation trifecta now

 

[when i score we riot]

This is dispiriting. Not in our hands. One game to go. So many shouts in here calling that it would go down to the Bournemouth game on the final day.

 

[JamesEFC]

Bournemouth won't defeat us. They are crap. We're also at home too. 34 points will be enough to stay up.

Yeah, except we’ve lost 10 home games this season, far from a fortress, have some vital injuries and Bournemouth have won 3 of their last 4 away.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Need Moyesy to do the biz

 

[bluelife]

If we're somehow lucky enough to still be out of the bottom 3 on Tuesday morning, then Goodison could potentially be a very,very,very ugly place to be next week if we can't beat an on-the-beach Bournemouth at home to stay up.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Yeah. I suspect the next two days could be very upsetting for some.

All next week might also be stressful...
