Relegation 23/24 Thread

[GrandOldTeam]

They have conceded 14 goals more than us but have only scored 6 more.

They’ve also scored less than Luton.

So not sure how you’ve worked that out.

Awoniyi is back fit.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Massive opportunity missed today obviously. I still think we are going down as there isnt the firepower to win games convincingly.

Colin Robinson back to suck the energy out of the chat with doomsday predictions of us going down exactly like last year…

…When we didn’t go down.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Sure, not many defeats in there but FFS.

I think the difference this season is I don't actually think we're one of the worst 3 teams in the division. Last season I thought it was a toss up between us and Southampton for the worst team. The season before I thought we were clearly one of the worst 3 teams. This season I think Burnley, Sheff Utd and Luton are worse than us. So whilst it would be unfortunate to go down because of a points deduction it has been coming. If we stay up we'll probably be one of the worst 3 teams next season if Leicester and Leeds come up

I think the more pertinent stat would be how many points we've scored in that run and where that ranks.

Not sure about that but will ofc depend on what we can do in the transfer window

Its not acceptable.

2 points from Palace at home and Brighton away is simply not good enough.

He's a very fortunate man that when he has runs like this (of which there are many) there is no one to pull the trigger on him.

The manager is setting the team up to get draws. It's not a huge surprise.

But it doesn't make any sense while we have no idea what our total points deduction for the season will be.

 

[blue to the bone]

Relegation will be decided off the pitch not on it. And it will drag on for a while yet.

Valid point but they've changed manager and have been scoring more.
They've scored 17 in their last 9 league games.
And goals are spread around the team.
Elanga 2, Wood 5, Gibbs White 3, Awoniyi 2, Hudson Odoi 3.
So on recent form they've got more goals and goal scorers in team than us.

Regardless of the appeal we have to aim for a win against West Ham, the longer this winless run continues you risk teams still gaining ground

 

[mikel_88]

Just lost what he had last season, really need the attackers bwck in form is killing us

Not very well, if I've done this right since we last won a game.

Yes that's more relevant, and whilst pretty bad, not as bad as no win in 9 sounds.

The context of a 10 point deduction has to be added I feel, it's clearly hampering our performances
