Relegation

[MikeH72]

We always knew Burnley's fixture list was full of this type of game in the last few weeks. It's why I can't get last night out of my mind. That was our chance to take the game to a Leicester side with virtually nothing to play for, yet we stood back and gave them the freedom of the park. All of that after 10 days rest.

Richarlison is going to be a key contributor to us going down but people won’t want to admit it. His displays in front of goal this season have cost us about 5 points. That last night was unforgivable.

We went down the night we lost to Burnley

Sad but probably true.

We got an absolutely unexpected reprieve by beating Utd while they lost to Norwich, but failing to get 3pts last night basically ruined that.

As I’m h as I thought I’d never say it we need to start Rondon up front, with Richy on the left. Richy up front doesn’t really work he is Much better on the left.

Never forget

4 wins from 7 is more than enough. 3 wins from 7 = 38 points. That leaves Burnley needing 10 from 6 games, which is a very big ask. Also leaves Leeds needing 6 points from a tough 6 game run in.

Winning three games ain't going to be easy, but it should be enough.

We've barely managed to put 4 wins on the board in months. We're not magically winning 4 of our last 7.

Forget about Burnley, it’s all about catching Leeds now

Always a positive person and poster. This result tonight at Burnley for me will send us down now. I thought if they lost or drew we would be fine but we’re now going to go to Anfield in the relegation zone and by the time we play Chelsea can be 5 points behind

We have to win a game of football away from home somewhere

I think you’re right

Tonight has sealed it

He needs to be on the left, he’s best there. With non firing DCL out we have to play a proper striker.

Never forget

Never forget the 19 points he gave us.

agree here

feel so sick

I’ve just gone through and guessed results through the end of the season… we end on 37 points and Leeds/Burnley each on 38. It’s close. BUT there’s a very real chance that on April 30, we are on 29 points and Burnley and Leeds are both on 34. Scary.

That's the biggest problem. Our winnable fixtures come too late.

Our next 3 games are atrocious. Chelsea at home is the one we can target but every chance they turn us over given what we saw last night. Then you're looking at another away game against Watford and we know how they usually go.

Burnley win on Sunday and we are really up against it. We'll be favourites to go down without a doubt.

Leicester away is a game we need a result in

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Is that so BB??

I'm in no mood for your act

 

[Bebeto]

For Burnley winning on Sunday you can toss a coin. Momentum is a great thing in football. They'll have it in abundance after tonight, we have absolutely none.

Only 2 days to recover...having played also on Sunday last week...wolves having plenty of time to recover...as long as raul is fit and plays, I am confident that wolves will get a win against burnley.
