Relegation 2022/23

[MACCA75]

Like what

Everton lose, Leicester win, Leeds lose for example.

Your missing one important thing in those defeats ,
The lampard factor.
The other two teams are as bad as us as well.

Maybe. The PPG is marginally better under Dyche, but Lampard didn't have DCL available, who has massively improved the team. That's the bigger factor. And he's not playing Sunday.

 

[Wat Tyler]

But what if the Leeds spurs draw is 4-4?

Would take a 15-15 old bean

 

[PhilRegan]

Amount of times people have said “if we can’t beat Bournemouth last game we deserve to go down” is astronomical

Same crowd a few games back who said " all we need to do is beat newcastle"

 

[davek]

low key would have taken a win at bournemouth to guarantee we stay up all day every day

its now on the players to do their bit

cherry on top is that bournemouth are already safe and therefore have nothing riding on the game themselves

Defo.

We start the day not needing things to go bad for others to make even a win for us worthwhile. That would have been a massive downer before starting to not be in that position. The mood around the club and the fans would have been horrendous.

Leicester and Leeds know they can do f.a. about it if we have a good day.

Against Bournemouth Dych has won 6, drawn 2 and lost 3…….

 

[knowing your history]

I think draws are all that's available in all three matches - at best.

That suits us.

Always twists on final day though. One of Leeds/Leicester getting ahead early and Goodison will inevitably get nervous and start demanding the makeshift FBs fly forward at every opportunity rather than play strategic.

Always remember 98 and that massive roar when Chelsea went 2 up, think that was just after Coventry equalised so that was the lift needed for the players just to realise playing the ball around their own half with Coventry not bothered at all was the best tactic.

Get the feeling with return of these World cup style injury times they'll be a crucial goal scored right at the end so hopefully Mina is still healthy at that point as I'd rather a big chance falls to him than the strikers or midfielders.

It's the 7th attempt at this "we genuinely need to win literally 1 more game". We've failed the previous 6, let's see how this one goes.

 

[Nightman]

West Ham dont seem to do to bad over recent times at Leicester, but Leicester know they have to go for it, which may leave gaps for Bowen etc

Yep. We saw Bowen and WHU exploit this against Leeds.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

We'll find out who wants it more...although our points total speaks volumes.

 

[ToffeeScot]

It’s all on us then. We have no excuse.

Remember those halcyon days after the Brentford game back in March when we all said 2/3 wins will do us.

We’ve won once since then, and still out of the relegation zone. Crazy.

 

[davek]

We are 4/9 on mate on sportinglife

Rightly so.

It's comforting, but it wont make Sunday any easier to get over the line.

I'm quite hopeful that what we have right now might be enough.

The other two cant win and they go into their games against better opponents who can blow them away with the counter attacking game they can bring out.

I'd like to see a few points predictor posts just for entertainment purposes

That was back when people genuinely thought 40 points wouldn’t be enough to be fair.
