Relegation 2022/23

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Huge away point at a very loud and hostile stadium. Our first since last year.

And the first time we've scored two goals in a match since October.

Very encouraging.

We will stay up. We will survive.

...and picked up a valuable point.

And tossed away two priceless ones.

 

[billybeeru]

Hold on - we scored two goals away from home.

The worrying thing for me is that we finally scored two goals, for the first time in months, and yet we still couldn’t make it count for three points. It’s hard to see us scoring two or more goals in many other games.

 

[davek]

Oh good, we must be well clear of them then and must’ve beaten them all.

No, that's the point though isn't it - the 'we're doomed' talk is echoed by fans of at least another 6/7 teams.

 

[davek]

And tossed away two priceless ones.

1 point away, 3 at home. That'll be the formula.

 

[Daytripper]

There's another team on the pitch who dont want that to happen. You accept that too dont you?

What does that even mean? That second half we did give the ball away a lot, we did not create chances, we didn’t test their keeper.

What am I saying that’s so wrong? It’s all there to see in that second half.

That's football mate.

We dont have the right to go away from home and beat a team that haven't been beaten there for months, do we?

 

[Drico]

1 point away, 3 at home. That'll be the formula.

It'll have to be a magic formula, then, because this lot can't be relied on to manage even that.

Oh I know. But as it stands it’s out of our hands after today’s result, so let’s see where we are when everyone has caught us up in terms of games played.

We cant go away and dominate other teams. No relegation threatened team can.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Got to be keeping Gray in the side now, about the only goal threat we have available and he’s had him on the bench.

Brentford Saturday has the feel of a “must win” about it, I said before today we need four points from next two, so we need to beat Brentford.

If DCL was “touch and go” he has to be at least a sub Saturday… but this is us.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

I'm not sure either of those two teams get relegated this season. That didn't look like two relegation level teams.

Dyche is getting everything he can from this lot. We've scored two in a game today and we're adapting.

Literally any 3 teams from 9 can be relegated. I dont see us being relegated if we keep this fight on to the end of the season.

I like the idea of Brentford at home next. We battered them 4-0 in the cup game last season, should have well beaten them but for Branthwaite's brain fart in the league game last season, and drew down at their place this season. Three points from that game and we become very competitive in that relegation tussle.

You are right of course. Frank doesn’t take our current squad there and get a point. Not a chance. And they are trying, they are just so weak it’s a worry.

Just feels like every game is a must win, we don’t win it, so we say no no the NEXT game is the must win, that one doesn’t matter. At some point we have to actually win.

1 point away from home always better than zero though. Forest still right in the mire, but better teams than us will be happy with a point there.

 

[Blue peter]

I’ve not subscribed to the idea that we are already down and i think scoring two goals away from home and a slight change in personnel offer some encouragement - while it’s great we have not lost, it is still only one point. I am nailing my colours to the mast here…I thought we needed four points from this week and next…..if we don’t win next week in my opinion we will go down

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Need to keep going

2 wins, 2 loses and a draw since Dyche came in

12 games left

5 wins, 5 losses and 2 draws = 39 points total and probable safety

 

[Daytripper]

We cant go away and dominate other teams. No relegation threatened team can.

I have not once said we should dominate tho! Not once have I indicated that should be the case.
