Relegation 2022/23

[Blue peter]

Theres a fundamental flaw in looking at other teams fixtures (but I understand why we do it) , it starts to set expectations about how results should go where and when. It simply isn’t the case or the Bookies wouldn’t be as risk as they are. We just need to focus on ourselves and get to a level of consistency of performance - what I would say is that Dyche’s record with Burnley was mainly bouyed by the home record and the away record was pretty abysmal, so in that basis our home form will have to see marked improvement for us to remain in the league

Most bottom half teams have abysmal away records. We went a whole calendar year not winning away from home and that was even when we were ok under Silva. You get the odd few teams who have a run of doing ok away from home but normally accompany it with being awful at home (bit like us under Carlo in the second half of his full season).

We have to focus on beating the bottom 12 teams at home as the bed rock to any survival bid. Anything else is a bonus on top of this but it’s only logical that beating the weaker teams at home is our best chance of points.

Leeds looks strong in the first few minutes of this game...

 

[MikeH72]

Leeds’ style is very peculiar. They put absolutely everything into the first 15/20 minutes of each half and just fly around the pitch at 400mph and you’ve got to just sort of ride out the storm before they start to burn out, which they do very quickly. It’s like they play games in quarters, and the first and third quarters are where they bank on winning games. They start like a train and pretty much always end games on the back foot and hanging on.

Leeds still not losing, not looking good is it? ???

Good time to play United. I guess you were say the same about us and the RS tomorrow

 

[Dymak]

In a season of catastrophic failure by the board, giving Lampard 3 games + 3 weeks after Brighton could well decide our fate.

You could argue he deserved chance to stay + work with squad during WC + would be tough to sack him after Wolves, first game back.

But Brighton was turning point, no coming back from that performance + they kicked can down the street.

There was no coming back from Bournemouth, and that’s when he should have been sacked. How he survived the loss to bottom of the league Wolves is just beyond belief. By the time the Brighton game has come around, his sacking was already long, long, overdue.

That gap to safety and then the gap to 15th is concerning.... Perhaps it is the last few seasons that makes me not want it to be a straight fight between us, Leeds and West Ham. Perhaps I should be more optimistic with Dyche, but scary times...

No chance that Gnonto is 19, fella looks like Yakubu’s dad.

Our next 3 are so important. They are all winnable matches but it will be tough… we lose the next 3 we are toast.

Massive slice of luck to get United back to back during Casemiro's suspension. They look so poor without him

Still early Neil. Hang in there.

 

[Mark_EFC]

Leeds look the better team

 

[PITA]

Still early Neil. Hang in there.

I think that Neil is taking the persistence.
