Relegation 23/24 Thread

A disappointing outcome no doubt about it.
Hoped we could get a win especially with Brighton at the weekend.
But as one of our esteemed ex managers, the Spanish rotund one often commented, if you can't win a game, don't lose it.

Not this season, 35 or 36 probably enough

We get 10 back and we still have to get those 6 points somewhere/somehow mate lol

 

[TN Toffee]

I mean yeah but mathematically, "39 is safety" and all that.

39 has been well above safety for several years now, and will continue to be so as long as the league remains this top heavy. Luton have 20 points through 24 games. Thinking they get another 20 in the final 14 isn’t a realistic fear.

 

[Gilbert..]

It's a decent point against a team fired up. Had we lost we would have let Palace get probably too far away from us without most, if not all points given back on appeal.

The hard thing to take is 7 days ago we win the game fairly comfortably. Everton that.

Sorry mate but it wasnt a decent point. It was 2 dropped. Why weren't we fired up? There was such a massive incentive to drag them right into it. That was as lacklustre a first 45 minutes as you'll see given how important the game was. Everthing was wrong. The attitude. The lack of urgency. Thats what concerns me. The lack of we really want this approach.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Nah mate. Sorry but we where a disgrace and tonight was two massive points dropped. The team was a disgrace and where second best for large chucks of that game against an utter terrible Crystal Palace side

You’ve never seen an “utter” terrible Crystal Palace side.
I’ve seen them lose at Aldershot, Grimsby, Cambridge Utd, Walsall, Gillingham and Chester. They were “utter” terrible.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Nothing worse than trying to go to sleep after Everton have just scared the living daylights out of you.

 

[Ring master]

Stop that at once!

At least you look a threat upfront. I was actually surprised to see we had 19 shots lol. I must have missed at least half of them, as never felt we had anywhere near that for me

 

[Davidoff]

Can we outrun Luton Town?

Luton Town ffs!

If we can't then we deserve the drop.

Matty has finally caved in
A long 4 months ahead now

6 draws lol

 

[DualityNSNO]

6 draws lol

Wishful thinking, but we do play for them so you might be on to something... lol

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Could probably do with Luton continuing to struggle for a while longer, particularly as they still have a game in hand on us.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Did you watch the game at all like?! lol

Nah mate. Sorry but we where a disgrace and tonight was two massive points dropped. The team was a disgrace and where second best for large chucks of that game against an utter terrible Crystal Palace side.

I'm not saying Crystal Palace suddenly turn into world beaters, just the tiny little bit more effort to get to stuff they might not have previously, to stay that bit more focused knowing that your position in the side is on the line helped. They are still going to be a side without confidence, as are we, so it will be like two drunks fighting it out in a telephone box.

 

[knowing your history]

Really need to get a 3-4 lead over them somehow quickly. West Ham has replaced tonight now as a must win.

RS game will likely be postponed as that's one FA cup QF weekend so looking like 4 of the next 5 prem games are going to be away from home which isn't great.

In what way lol. Thats a very near enough normal thing
