Relegation 2022/23

[joebocop]

If we play like we did yesterday for the rest of the season other teams results will be meaningless. It's still all in our hands and we've managed to beat the best team in the league. It wasn't like the city smash and grab, we genuinely found a way to be effective against them.

Leeds’ next 8 fixtures look pretty bad, 5 of which are away from home. All against teams battling for top 4 / survival. Other than Saints at home (and perhaps us FFS), you wouldn’t really back them for any wins.

Man U - A
Man U - H
Everton - A
Saints - H
Chelsea - A
Brighton - H
Wolves - A
Arsenal - A

Palace

Goals For 19

Everton

Goals For 16
Goals Against 28

It's fair to say they've rode their luck to get 6 points ahead of us.

Easily the worst team we've played this year too, so it wouldn't surprise me.

If United could win 5 nil please on Wednesday, we would go out of the bottom 3 lol

I still think we need 8 points as a minimum from the next 4 games.

3-0 on Wednesday, then 2-0 next Sunday would also do it....

Looking at the next few games Bournemouth, Leeds, Southampton and West Ham have some tough matches, so if we can get some points on the board we can put some distance between ourselves. Gutted about the points we have given away in the last 4 matches.

It's still going to be a battle theres four or five teams of a similar level down there, our home games could be key we need to keep that standard up from yesterday, regardless of the game! Our players have performed in glamour games before then reverted to laziness and losing to a team battling with us, they need to do it against teams around us moving forward! I hope Dyche instills that work rate and performance level against every team. No way that team yesterday should be in the bottom three. But we need the results to prove it.

Agree with you but don’t think this manager tolerates that kind of backsliding.

I agree we always seem to raise our game against the stronger teams and then really struggle to break the weaker teams down it's like we don't know what to do.

For me, everyone from Palace is still in it.

I still see people going in about Wolves, who have got 7 points from 5 games. It's a good run, but they still need to win their next 2 IMO.

If we remain consistent and keep the performance on par with yesterday, we will finish top half of the bottom half (11,12,13th)...the trick is, though, to play against THEM as we played against Arsenal, then the next match and the next.

What we did with other managers was drop to the level of the team we were playing, and if we stop with that S, relegation will be a distant memory!!

Doesn’t always work out that way. Who would have thought we would beat Arsenal yesterday, although it was deserved. Teams will pick up unexpected points until the end of the season. Just hope we accumulate enough to stay up

Probably more due to how many chances/goals/"winnable" games we missed early and up to Xmas - some of them you knew we were losing at 1:0 to us as well, which is sad.
