Relegation 23/24 Thread

I think it could be a very low total this year. The combination of the new position on injury time being added on combined with the 5 sub rule has made it increasingly difficult for poorer sides to get results

Luton
Burnley
Sheff Utd

Surely they go down this season.

We need to put some points on the board and give us some breathing space.

Its mid September

Not sure how anyone can say anyone is definitely going down

It's easy you just say, Everton are definitely going down this season.

Voodoo.

I agree.

However, it is encouraging just how terrible the teams who came up are.

Its good that the teams we expect to be our rivals are losing games. But its far too early to say anyone is going down and its really rare for all 3 promoted sides to go down.

We need to win games ourselves and get away from the pressure of another relegation scrap

Plus the quality that the lower teams have this season vs last season is significantly less...leceister was a lot stronger last season so was leeds, and Southampton a lot stronger than Luton...

As bad as it sounds, we need to be aiming for 10 points per 10 games. That should see us over the line.

I know. I think we can score this season though. So long as there's no points deduction I'd be bold enough to say we'll be out of the bottom 5 come May...

I like this positive Dave. Calling our survival just like you did last season.

You will be eulogising about Patterson after the game tomorrow at this rate.

On a serious note Sheffield United and Luton are two sides we are better than based on what I have seen. I am not quite ready to call on Burnley yet.

I also think Wolves are pretty toothless despite putting in some decent efforts so far

Indeed. I really don't see a world where any of the three above stay up and Everton maintain top flight status.

Richarlison's goal today - at this juncture - is up there in terms of importance as his goal against Chelsea in Fan-Friendly Frank's scrambled survival season.

TBH, amidst all the doom and gloom, I think we might have a chance of running up roughly 45 points....IF we keep Danjuma and Beto fit and on the pitch and have DCL to chip in with 10-15 games.
