Relegation 2022/23

[Royal]

Impossible to really predict anything or know where we are until after Toon - Leicester. Do the Geordies hate us enough to roll over for them? I think they are genuinely that obsessed.

 

[T LEAFE]

I agree. How can anyone be happy finishing below Nottm. Forest?

The fact that, somehow, that may mean we don't get relegated is a get out of jail card.

Again.

Can't keep going on like this ...

We keep saying that but we do

Would love to hear realistic dyche replacements, personally think it is mad to suggest he should go if we stay up. Seems to be the same people who defended that tory fraud.

If we stay up - any DoF and whoever he picks.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Ah!! I’ve just had a wee look, and 4th place no longer has to qualify for the Champions league. That puts the cat amongs the pigeons somewhat.

They'll want to seal the deal in front of the home support with a win tomorrow. Then, they'll probably have a kickabout at the Bridge with the reserves.

 

[spectateur]

We need to beat Borneo. Its up to Dyche to set the team up for a win without dcl. God help us if he plays Maupay because he is no outlet, cant challenge for the ball, cant score. Gray up front although he was lousy v Wolves. Should we play Simms?

Why has Maupuy been such a flop with us.
He must've been fairly ok with Brighton.
Total misfit with us though.

Bookies had West Ham as slight favourites but tbh that’s boring am just made up they got beat

The bookies odds were nonsense IMO.

Ironically for us, Liverpool scoring last minute is good news. Means Newcsstle aren't guaranteed yet so will want to finish it at home and avoid last day nerves. You'd like to think.

 

[catcherintherye]

We are basically as likely to go down as we were yesterday morning: we’ve gained a point on Leeds which is obviously good. But we have lost a massive insurance policy against some result combinations in Forest. It’s not in our own hands to stay up because Leicester, however unlikely, could win twice. So overall so far it’s been a neutral weekend for our chances and could be a good one / bad one depending on tomorrow night.

Forest is irrelevant though really. If you would have offered me Leeds losing and Forest winning I'd have taken that. We were relying on other teams re Forest anyway.

We want to go into that final, easy, game controlling our destiny.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Would disagree, the less games there are left while we are out the relegation zone, the less likely we are to go down.

A neutral weekend gets us closer to the finish line

Yup, absolutely but the Leicester game not being played yet means it can’t be yet be classed as a good or bad weekend. When I say neutral I mean the odds of us going down are no different now to yesterday morning.

They need a result and wont want to need something on the final day, that's for sure.

He's been Evertoned

 

[COYBL25]

Goodison is going to be horrible next week. I’ll never forget those Wimbledon and Coventry games, can’t enjoy anything, everyone is anxious and that just travels to the players.

Big Yerry will sort it all out.

 

[DualityNSNO]

He's been Evertoned

He was "budget Niasse" before he joined us.

 

[Izzy1878]

It took us 1 win in the last 10 to stay up. Incredible how little we had to do to not get relegated.

Nah, I know a couple go bha fans. Couldn't believe their luck that they'd dumped him off on us.
