Relegation 2022/23

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

The stat that truly kills us is our head-to-head with our direct rivals (Southampton, Bournemouth, Wolves, Leicester, West Ham, Leeds, and Forest).

By my calculations, we are P8 W1 D2 L5

That tells you all you need to know.

We've won 3 vs those teams and drawn 3.

I did this prediction thing when SD took over, i had us on 7 points from the games we played so far and we did get 7 points, the rest of the prediction will put us on 39 points, as things stand, 34 points is needed to avoid the drop

For a good while now I've considered us to be one of the worst 3 teams in the league, and therefore have been expecting relegation. But I do think we have a chance of surviving too however unlikely that seems to me right now.

 

[maccavennie]

When we are on top in games and take the lead we for some reason decide to drop deep instead of going for another.

It's because we don't win enough, so they don't have that habit of winning and knowing when to kill teams off or when to be tight. Our in game management is dreadful due to lack of wins.

 

[Del-boy]

Looking at our remaining fixtures we have no chance. To stay up you have to at least take points off the teams around you. We have failed miserably at doing that.

 

[Del-boy]

West Ham will be clear soon. They have three home games on the spin.

 

[LucBesson]

Think we've got the most favourable fixture next weekend out of those around us. No formality obviously but could hopefully be a good weekend for us.

 

[Drico]

We've won 3 vs those teams and drawn 3.

Yes, 3 wins, 3 draws, 5 defeats.

I seem to have eradicated so much of the early Lampard era from my memory for some reason - and that wasn't even the worst part.

We need to balance that record up against our direct rivals before the end of the season or it is curtains. Annoyingly, we only have Bournemouth at home. We are away at Wolves and Leicester, so the omens are not good.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Needs to leg Keane

Thing about this season is the bottom two are right in with a chance, we aren’t just looking at the dross in and around us, a little 3 game winning streak for Southampton for example could be fatal. Going to be squeaky bum time as they say.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Still for a team that’s down near us that’s a solid home record isn’t it. They obviously have a team that doesn’t lie down at home, look how they came back v city.

The frustration is that it would be seen as a decent point in any vaguely competent season - unfortunately though we just haven’t got any leeway and I agree that it’s two points dropped for us.

Being in the relegation zone having played one game more is horrendous.

Brentford. Chelsea. Spurs. Utd next. We are now in a position where we have to be targeting the home games v Brentford and spurs as must wins or it’s pretty much curtains.

There’s an ominous feeling growing that this will be the season we run out of miracles. I understand some people wanting to be positive but I have to admit I’ve lost any hope I had after villa and arsenal.

Careful now, the cool kids will be on you for having an opinion and will mention Leeds getting top four or something…

It’s absolutely normal to be worrying about our predicament, yes the teams around us are crap, but so are we. 5 wins in 26 speaks for itself.
