Relegation 2022/23

[GoldenToffee]

Don't forget we've played at least a game more than everybody else. If teams win theirs games in hand, we are bottom. The next 3 results don't bear thinking about.

 

[windymiller]

It's possible. It just requires us to get the points at the rate we've got them under Dyche. Roughly 1.5 per game.

I know we've got a tricky three games coming up but Chelsea and Spurs aren't all that this year and after the Man Utd game we have a better looking run in than most of our rivals. First time I've been optimistic in months.

great win, if we’d have beaten Forest i would consider us outsiders to go down - as it is we’re still very much in it, but that was a massive result

 

[neil999]

We have beaten arsenal, the league leaders, and Brentford, haven't lost since 1842,aston villa result was an anomaly, home form could get us through this again

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Forget them.

Get the points we're getting at the rate we're getting them and and we'll be safe.

True that, got to just keep going.

 

[good times bad times]

Too little, too late.

We have just given ourselves a serious chance of staying up today. Even the most pessimistic should be able to see that.

Nice prediction. You were adamant game would be won when so many weren't.

What do you foresee for the next four home games Dave as that will give an indication of what's needed away from home. Want to be on 34/35 points going into Bournemouth as then it should be in teams own hands to perhaps play out a draw.

I can see 5 or 6 points from the next 4 games. Beat Spurs and Fulham. Maybe we pick an away point up.

If we get 5 or 6 points that will give us 7 games to get 6 or 7 points.

We're resolute and tough now under Dyche.

 

[knowing your history]

Southern softies Fulham will fold here. I suspect Spurs will too.

I was wondering if Spurs would chuck the end of season in way Man. United did 12 months ago given Conte is all but gone but they've actually had a brilliant day with them winning and RS and Brighton not winning so still got a very good chance of 4th.

Fulham a bit like Brentford. Hard to beat but get the 1st goal v them and they're not as scary. Hopefully Silva is like Arteta and basically makes out going to Goodison is like Camp Nou pre match also.

Need to win another two home games at least as I just can't see this side getting much on the road with lack of goals.

My dad always said points in the bag are better than games in hand

 

[bluenorthwarrior]

It's going all the way if teams keep getting unexpected results.

Feeling better but don't like the extra game we have played, it will be nice when that disappears and we are hopefully still clear of the drop zone.

 

[Neiler]

We got some tough games ahead though and we need to start scoring more.

Today we should have won it at HT instead we missed chances and nearly got caught

We are capable of taking points from better teams mate, Arsenal, City this season, Chelsea, Utd last.

In some ways these games are easier to prepare for then say a Brentford or Leeds.

If we get anything like 5 or 6 points from the 4 games I'd make us a favourite to stay up.

 

[atypicalusername]

We still control our destiny for now. UTFT!

Exactly right.

I would cut myself with blades if we go down becausd Lampard wasn't sacked sooner as soms of those games we may have won under Dyche.

 

[RFUS]

Still well, well in it and the games in hand others have will be telling. Also our next fixtures are horrid.

That said, the Dyche effect is very real. We still lack quality, especially up front, but the work rate and mentality to keep fighting is huge. 3 wins and a draw from 7 (mostly very tough) games is a superb return. Especially given that we'd only won 3 in the previous 20.
