Relegation 2022/23

[Wizard]

It's been almost 18 years, I would imagine.

In terms of sustained games with no feeling of anxiety I don’t think it has happened as long as I’ve been a fan but that’s probably true whoever you support to be honest. The odd game here or there at the end of the season when nothing matters. But they are so consistent in giving you hope and then ripping it away.

Could have been worse. Shows what a big result Saturday was. We can only take care of our own business.

Exactly right. Bottom line is, if youd have said to me we would gain 2 points on Leeds V Arsenal, when they have both Forrest and United I'd have said that was about as good an outcome as could have been hoped for.

Don’t fancy United at Elland Road.

I don’t fancy leeds to beat United. More pressure on them at home as well.

No idea why United moved Rashford to the right in the first 45.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Wouldnt back United to win without Casemiro

 

[barneygumble]

Anyone still think 32-33 points is good enough to stay up? Drifting back up to 35-36 at least now.

Surely no one thought 32-33, that’s less than a point per game, even for Southampton.

I reckon you’re talking 36-37 for 18th, could go higher.

It’s hard to tell teams can put in a few good performances then go on a 5 game losing run.

I am hoping a team above us go on a really bad run and we put a wining run together. Last season Southampton had 35 points after 29 games I think and scrapped to 40. Am hoping someone like Nottingham forest just fall apart.

 

[knowing your history]

No

Mid 30s minimum just like last year. Probably won't need 40 but I think we need 37 or 38

Going to need some away wins then. Leeds got 4 points at Liverpool-Man. United this season so as good as Saturday was it's a big gamble just to rely on reeling off the 1-0s at Goodison.

Still need to find another away win just to match last seasons dismal tally of 2.

 

[steven]

Those Leeds and Villa home games are massive. Need to win both of them.

Palace probably the best bet here. No Zaha for a few more weeks and can see Brighton beating them on Saturday.

Need to beat Forest to get them seriously worried I think.

The question is, (if we omit Bournemouth and Southampton) can you say every team getting to a figure. It's not about most, it's about what each one will get to. It's not the mean, you are judging the lowest performer. If we are saying 38, we are saying most of those sides all get better. When you look at the run some of them are on, like Leeds or Palace, I'm not wholly convinced on that.

If we beat Leeds at home, I am quite confident we finish above them.

 

[billyblue80]

It's going to be a scrap to the end can't remember a season where there's barely anything between all six sides down there

Unfortunately despite Saturdays win I'm not convinced we can take care of our own business

 

[BlueStevie35]

Don’t fancy United at Elland Road.

Can go either way imo, either Leeds use blowing the game tonight and a sold out crowd as motivation or United take the embarrassment of having to come from 2-0 down and use it to pump them at a ground they usually do well at

 

[JohnRoss23]

Don’t see Leeds winning at Elland Road, their confidence took a huge blow and the pressure will be too much for them. Also, Man U will be much better prepared. Leeds gassed themselves today. They’ll be a step behind.
