Relegation

[Toffeeslam]

Most worrying is the performances away from home and the fact that we really can’t dig in and fight in adversity.

This is why if we do go down will be the biggest reason, that we are mentally weak and physically pathetic when we concede first.

We’re in massive trouble and now for the first time ever I genuinely think we will go down.

How cursed is this club ?

 

[blue to the bone]

I'd suggest trying to predict what will happen a month down the line for 5 or 6 clubs is pretty futile. Injuries and suspensions for teams will play a part as will the position of clubs when you play them . Take it a week at a time and re evaluate then.

Final games of the season Brentford v Leeds, Arsenal v Everton and Palace v Manure in London. Can't believe that the computer has put Leeds and Manure in London at same time.

Dont know about anyone else, but im wracked with anxiety over us.

Leeds next two are Villa home and Norwich home so they’ll get a minimum of three points there, could be six we need Villa to do us a favour.

Probably want a draw between Brentford and Burnley even though that will put us in the relegation zone.

I think before kick off Sunday we will definitely be in bottom 3.

I’m hoping Burnley win. I think they have slightly the easiest run in.

It seems Brentford are now safe after beating Norwich. Their first win in 9. After 7 defeats 1 draw.

A lot of ifs I know, but Brentford then have a tough finish, the next 7. Watford away and Southampton and West Ham both at home their easiest games. Then they play us at goodison and finish with Leeds at home.

If we can get 4 points from
The next 2, we could go into the international break. 2 points behind with 3 games in hand.

Hopefully we don’t lose to many to international duty. And Frank can spend 2 weeks working on things and getting injured players back up to speed. Like Godfrey, gray, Doucoure and DCL.

Are next game after that is April the 3rd at West Ham nearly 8 weeks after Mina got injured. I know we can’t rely on him, but he hopefully could be available for our last 10 games

A back 3 of him, Godfrey and Branthwaite. With Kenny and Mykolenko as wing backs would be the way I wouid go for away games. Amd maybe Utd / Chelsea at home

The last couple of years have been so bad with the pandemic and now the conflict in Ukraine. This is where you need your football club to step up and give you a nice distraction but they have failed miserably

I wasnt until last night when i started thinking too much about it

Law if averages say we will Nick something away somewhere. While spurs was horrendous and Southampton, but we get the penalty at Southampton and go 1-0
Up who knows.
I felt we were comfortable at Newcastle, until they scored and obviously losing Mina and gray was huge.

Watford now have 3 tough away games, by the time they play us they could need snookers. Burnley will be under pressure at home. I see Frank going to a back 5 away from now on.

When we play Leicester twice, they may have nothing to play for, palace the same.

Maybe Utd have a Champions league game 3 days later and are looking unlikely for top 4. So our all their eggs in that basket.

As you can tell I’m trying to stay positive lol

It's still 100% in our hands is basically it.

We just have to hope something clicks soon just like it did at Newcastle and we can go on a run.

Our away form is just as important as the home games, in fact more important as far as the next two games go, Burnley and Watford, we cant lose them, they are the two most important games we have left, lose them and forget it

We’ve picked up 6 points away from home all season

I’d be shocked if we got another point this season

I agree, thats what worries me, Burnley will just try and boot us off the park, they will know what to do, no point beating Wolves and United and losing to Watford and Burnley away

Burnley will batter us. They won’t even need to boot us off the park, applying pressure will see us fold

Just seen this - unforgivable really and this is the crux of our problems.

Indeed, I hate to think of Weghorst going up against Keane.

He just needs to tell him the tunnel that he’s going to dry bum him everywhere. Keane will wilt
