Relegation 23/24 Thread

How quickly is any appeal sorted?
The sooner we have the final decision so we know what we are aiming at, the better

That applies to other clubs at the bottom as well of course. There cannot be a situation where say Burnley think they are safe later in the season and then the ten point deduction is reversed or reduced sending Burnley down.

Reality is we are a centre back injury away from big big trouble. Failure to bring one in in the summer was a massive risk. We are a little more equipped to handle a DCL injury.

Two injuries to key players and we're done for.

No ifs or buts.

Spot on. A couple of injuries and a couple of suspensions and it could all turn belly up for us very quickly.

It will do. Almost guaranteed.

I think an appeal could claw back some points. Maybe 3-5 and that will make a fair bit of difference. I think without them we are right in the thick of it

but what if...

It'll go down to the wire again unless we recruit very well in January.

We're too light and we've totally ballsed up the opportunity the early fixture list presented.

On the subject of injuries to key players, one of Luton's better players Issa Kabore went off after a suffering a seizure tonight. Let's not act like things don't happen to other squads, too.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Our first 11 for every game and we'd be fine.

But any injury - especially to Calvert-Lewin, Tarkowski or Branthwaite and our chances really take a hit.

The run of fixtures until the new year look really challenging and I think people are underestimating the role of pressure in a relegation scrap.

Fortunately that pressure for the immediate isn't too high as attention is outward but unless we have a great festive period for points I really fear for us.

it’s not tho nothing is guaranteed

Big ask for Everton really, that's what makes the situation even worse. If we get any injuries to positions we already know we're light in we're defo waiting for the last possible millisecond to make any transfers, as it's the Everton way.

think a lot might hinge on the United game, 3 points and we're buoyant. a loss could cause a spiral

 

[MichaelEFC96]

I’m not going to sit here and say we’ll stay up based on current form, an injury or two can knacker us. I doubt we’ll have much in the way of money to spend in January either. Pray that we keep DCL and the two centre backs fit and we should accumulate enough points

Best the 3 other teams down there we would be safe..
