Relegation 2022/23

[ToffeeTim]

I am relatively optimistic we can finish above the 2 sides currently below us - Saints and Bournemouth

Then it gets a lot more tricky. There is no other team that is particularly poor. But if we flip that on it's head, we need to outperform only one side above us. It's achievable

Out of everyone down there Southampton and Bournemouth look the certs. I still have us as the 3rd team as others above have more fire power.

 

[Neiler]

After Forest Leeds have two games on the trot Vs Utd then play us, Leeds are the first target we have to reel them in and better them.

It's the hope that kills you..
This is the same team who lost to Bournemouth, Southampton etc.One win changes nothing...

That's it for me mate. And theres 6 or 7 in it. Maybe one of them has the sort of collapse we had.

I agree, normally there is one of the promoted teams that goes on a losing run and drops like a stone. I think Fulham are nearly safe, so I would probably say Forest but anyone up to and including Palace in 12th could still get sucked in.

Southampton starting to drift.
Next week is a free hit (after todays surprise 3 points), but the next two home games are must wins for us.

Yep. If we get that atmosphere and our noses in front in games at GP we could maybe win another 6 alone there.

Casemeiro suspended for both is huge as Utd look bang average without him.

Can sadly see Leeds nicking the home fixture against them.

All in all I'm not too worried mind - I have faith in Dyche to bring us back up even if we did drop.

We're still favs to drop thanks to that Tory shyster dropping too many points to relegation rivals.

 

[davek]

I think 6 more will be enough. I thought 7 before today. Something like 23 points is what we will need under Dyche. That's a 7-9-2 record.

We are 1 and 0 lol

36 points to stay up? ?

 

[HappyJack]

Fans like you who support Kenwright deserve relegation. Tory like Boris Johnson lover type behaviour from you.

I think we will be safe, with room to spare. If Dyche can beat that team to beat Arsenal we will be fine. Ok it may be the beer talking but heh!

 

[PhilM]

A win at the pit next week would be a massive boost, both in terms of confidence and points. What we can't do is rely on late results like last year.

Let's get ourselves safe as soon as possible.

 

[davek]

Quite possible 4 more wins and 6 draws keeps us up with 36 pts and not terrible goal difference.

No one really looking like they'll collapse yet - does that likely keep the target higher or lower?

 

[ToffeeTim]

36 points to stay up? ?

No 23 under Dyche gets us to 38. I think that's the marker.

7 wins and 2 draws or 6 wins and 5 draws

So 6 wins and 2 draws from the last 17 games?

Likely their board will be in a vacuum there in terms of a decision, they dropped a fair bit of money by their standards in the last month.

Hopefully the bad news cycle moves on from us now to the likes of our rivals.
