Relegation 2022/23

[T LEAFE]

It was just relief but yes Gray running over to corner of Gladys and celebrating wildly and wasting a minute instead of quickly geeing up the crowd and then running back to centre circle was frustrating.

He was wasting time to stop Forest scoring again
Very clever

We've forgotten how to win, I feel it's a terrible result today dropping two points against one of our relegation rivals at home.
I really hope we can change turn this round but last season's failings are still there.

We can’t sign any more relegated players. It’s the wrong mentality straight away. They are too used to losing. when we get beat it’s nothing and just one of them till the next game.

 

[T LEAFE]

One thing that will be missed at the new ground...that special feeling in last 10 minutes when the Gladys end is trying to suck the ball into the net.

Forest were composed at the back for most of the game but suddenly it was all sliced clearances and misplaced passes in last few minutes and think it was Yates that got away big time with that poor header when Gordon couldn't quite lift the finish over the keeper.

As essential as the new ground is it will all feel very corporate pretty quickly and home form will likely take a knock so really need to get the 11 sorted out on the pitch otherwise club will just continue barely scraping prem survival just like for much of the 90s.

We can hopefully gain a breeze from the Mersey blow us a goal against Scunthorpe at BMD

We really suck. Sack the owners and the board. I could do a better job than this is. All I have to do is work a deal with an American magnate we will split profits. Kick the scum out who don’t care about the success of the club.
We bleed blue.

When teams know we carry only a limited threat in attack, they will know they can afford to be more brave going forward themselves.

Our defence and organisation has improved but it is not good enough alone. Eventually we will concede and when we do, we will not create enough chances or be clinical enough to get back in games.

If we are to stay up, it will be as a result of lots of 1-0, 0-0 and 1-1 results. No striker we realistically sign this late in the window will change that.

 

[MikeH72]

If we don’t sign a striker that is capable of scoring at least 10-12 goals then I think we could finish bottom.

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

The crowd deserves a lot of credit for helping the team over the line today. We were willing the lads on even at 1-0 and we got our just desserts. We should be very proud. We really were the 12th man.

No team has been as unlucky as us in regard to injuries, which makes me wonder whether our training methods are in some way flawed. Why do we have so many injuries?

Early days but I am predicting us, Bournemouth, Forest, Leeds and Southampton to o scrap it out

Leicester and Villa look like they might suffer rough seasons but have too much quality

Brentford, Crystal Palace and Brighton looking pretty solid

Don't forget The Wulfies, they might easily be dragged into it

 

[gazzaa2]

Gerrard and Rodgers will be sacked soon. Villa or Leicester might struggle if their replacements don't do well.

 

[nsno-chris]

Brentford - away
Leeds - away
RS - home

If we don’t get a striker there’s a real possibility that we could have 1 point after 6 games.

And probably 1 goal to our name, which was an own goa

Edit: forgot Christiano Gray scoring; yaaay

Very early days - but all of the teams you've named at the top have already shown more than us so far.

Agree with Villa struggling. Assume Fulham will be down there at the end, but so far they're showing more fight than they have previously.

It's nothing new, it's nothing to suddenly be shocked about, but we are obviously in huge trouble.

Don't forget Gray today! So have that. Yeah.

Oh yeah that’s how entertained I was, I actually forgot we scored

I’ll edit as appropriate

We'll get belted next week down there. They have a really smart manager and even with a striker we'd struggle to cope.

We'll be bottom of the league next week.

This is a nightmare start. And it didn't have to be this way.

Replacing Richarlison was a call 99.999% of fans would have made. But the decision makers at this club thought relying on a player plagued by injury was the smart move.
