Relegation 2022/23

Yes, but if Leicester dont win tomorrow we have an insurance policy in terms of other possible final day results that aren't a win for us.

no we’ve has insurance policy’s we can’t gamble on them

Neither would get more goals unless we sign a couple of proper strikers.

It's my concern with Potter really, he needs the right tools, and I'm not sure we give them to him.

 

[matty1878]

Well you’ve changed your tune. We were down the other week, now all we have to do is win at home…We’ll be fine Matty…..

everton do this to me mate lol

 

[matty1878]

All the quitters have suddenly piped down

i’m still here mate lol

That Mina goal was vital coupled with leeds defeat.

2 points is huge at this stage - especially when leeds nor Leicester can pull a win from anywhere atm. If it was a 1 point gap I’d be considerably more worried than I am now.

Having seen leeds today - and minus bamford I highly doubt they beat spurs either and a draw won’t be enough.

The only game I'm waiting on now really is the Leicester game tomorrow. If the unthinkable happened we'd be immediately 2nd favourites to stay up.

If they draw it's in our hands; if they lose I cant see them rallying to get anything from West Ham...maybe a point.

Leeds are done: stick a fork in them. We await Leicester's penultimate game response though.

I’ll be thankful that goodison’s final season won’t be played out in the Championship. Thought of that is too much to bear

Aye. But the banners and the chants after half time if we do stay up should all be going "never again a season like this"

 

[Nightman]

Would Potter get us scoring more goals than Dyche? I'm really not sure on Potter if hes much better than Dyche.

XG isn't a stat that thrills everyone, but his Brighton team outperformed everyone they played against, which is astonishing.

He had Auba and Havertz at Chelsea and the games I saw of that team in Europe, they played them all off the park.

Can he get DCL up and scoring? Maybe, maybe not, but he'll get the team creating chances with football on the front foot (given time).

everton do this to me mate lol

They do it to us all my friend….I’ve had over 65 years of it…

 

[arch stanton]

…it is in Leicester’s hands but would you prefer to be in our position or theirs?

points the board every time, more so when you are down at the bottom and points have been hard to win

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Who would you sign from the Leeds and Leicester relegated squads?

Realistically, from Leicester I’d take Barnes and their young left back Thomas. From Leeds I’d only be interested in Gnonto.

Feels a bit like tempting fate to be talking about it just yet though.

 

[Leylo]

This time next week hopefully we will be safe and I'm getting pissed in the black horse after the game

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

I

This is crucial. Cannot be thankful for delivering to us such a season as this.

The 20 team league record is 34 points and staying up. That was when west brom edged out and stayed up instead of Charlton. Two or three others have managed 35 but we've already got quite the pedigree if we survive with 36

In the 2020/21 season, you only needed 29 points to stay up. We'd have been on the beach with a few games to go even with this awful season's points tally.

 

[Runub]

A while back I was hoping it would not go to the last game but here we are It will be seriously stressful whatever the outcome.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

An early Newcastle goal tomorrow night to settle the nerves, pretty please football gods!

 

[when i score we riot]

I am willing to have a cardboard cutout of Howard Kendall as manager as long as the rest of the club is actually functioning. You really can't blame Dyche for everything, the leadership (and a good few of the squad) are what needs to change. Enough with the scape goat managers
