Relegation 2022/23

If there is one unexpected team that might get dragged in it could be Palace. Would have to go on a terrible run for the remainder of the season mind

 

[GoldenToffee]

Suppose we ought to be thankful that Southampton, Bournemouth, West Ham and Leeds are all awful too. Grab a point next week then gain momentum and hopefully only look upwards from there.

Hope Leeds don’t sack Marsch. He seems like the type who will go into full blown meltdown mode.

Yeah didn't he kick.off against us, I'm sure he did

They're only 6 ahead of us, that could be clawed back in two games. They're also in the thick of it imo.

 

[jonnyboy316]

Other thing I spotted is Bournemouth have a horrible next 5. They could be cut adrift

 

[hktoffee]

We will go above Leeds next week.

 

[Drico]

Leeds is a very winnable home game.

That will stick them in bottom 3 and Marsch likely sacked and who knows what they'll do then.

Oh, we can't be coming out of the Leeds game with anything less than the three points. We've already tossed away the home points against Wolves and Southampton by staying bizarrely loyal to Lampard. We have no margin for error now.

Yesterday was a massive bonus. The derby is the derby. But the following four are huge. We need to be taking 8 points from those.

Yes although based on our form over the season it would take us 7 games to accrue 6 points. If we had lost yesterday our position would have looked very desperate

 

[NorthernBlue]

Yeah didn't he kick.off against us, I'm sure he did

Think he was crying about time wasting

 

[4737carlin]

Think he was crying about time wasting

O yeah that's right, his antics were ridiculous

 

[HappyJack]

Leeds is pivotal imo. Forget the derby. Can go any way. But if we can beat Leeds then it gives us a big boost and puts leeds in the doldrums…

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Still think we'll drop thanks to that useless tory who was hell bent on trying to relegate us.

Utd have no Casemeiro against Leeds - soon as he was sent off they looked awful in midfield - I wouldn't expect 2 wins for Utd Leeds will take something from one of those games imo.

As others have mentioned we need to keep Bambi fit as the system relies on a target man.

 

[davek]

I was just thinking about that but marsch has had such an influence on how this leeds team looks that I'm not sure a new manager bounce would be on the cards for them. Half of the first eleven are his signings and some might not be too happy if he was sacked.

Yeah. Their defence is terrible, and their goal scoring now seems to have deserted them - 4 in the last 6 games.

 

[Baggzio]

Bournemouth and Southampton are surely down, two teams that battered us stupidly enough but I really don’t see them being up for it at all. Think Leeds are the next big contenders for it and even with their results lately you can’t say Forest are away either.

All we have to do for the rest of the season is be better than Leeds, that keeps us up. They’ve also got a bad run coming up so if we can pull away, even temporarily it’ll demotivate teams below us.

Whatever happens against those lot next week I think we’ve probably got 4 or 5 winnable games coming up after, important to try to get a run together now especially when I think Leeds have a tough run in these next few games too.

 

[Amokachi1995]

From Palace down are in the mix I reckon, assuming one of the bottom 3 (us hopefully) has a run of results.
