Relegation

[Cool_Blue]

Yeah we’d be favourites but there’s less spotlight than there is in the PL, they’d cope with it. Besides the point, if we did go down the majority of the squad will disappear save for a few names so it wouldn’t be the same faces that ‘crumble’

I think the only positive would be a massive clearout and bring in young, hungry players.

 

[Cool_Blue]

Look at our team.....

Its over hyped, so many players who seemingly get called better than what they are - Keane and Holgate - championship level, coleman should be retired, mykolenko and Patterson not ready yet - could be very good but right now? not ideal.

Allan is a good player but lacks pace, Doucoure solid, Gray solid, Gordon solid, Richarlison solid..... other than that nah. DCL is the biggest disappointment - downed tools and never did I think that would be the case. Disgusting.

That is a very accurate assessment.

It was appointing FSW in the first place that was the problem. Most said it wouldn’t end well, and here we are, looking down the barrel.

It definitely didn't help, it was a hideous appointment for so many reasons, but this is the result of years of mismanagement finally catching up.

 

[overkill]

Wouldn't it? I mean it very well could be enough in practice.

By a few I mean like 2, so staying up on 28 points ? (Maybe 30 if we get a few draws )

 

[overkill]

Weirdly this season the reality is winning a “few” games at home would probably be enough!

I hope so, be mad if we stay up with less than 30 points

Will Everton be the biggest casualty of this war?

The biggest sporting casualty in this country because of it, yes.

 

[MACCA75]

Huge 72 hours, starting with tonight’s games. I think we’ll have a good idea if we are going down at the end of it.

Puts it all in perspective

They want us down. The British Establishment have gone after Chelsea and Everton. Chelsea's has come upfront - a knife to the chest; we'll get ours in the back with dubious decisions.

An example made. Two heads on spikes atop the city walls.

 

[DL100]

Grey - Will improve us
Mina - 7-8 weeks + 2 weeks to get fit
Delph - Pointless
DCL - Not fit and doesn't look arsed
Godfrey - Not been great all season
Gomes - Adds to the problems

Did I miss anything?

Gray will be a massive positive coming back.

Godfrey i agree he looks poor this season but i do think we will be glad to have his energy back. Especially in a back 5 and him one of the CBs.

 

[MisterJ]

Are Chelsea safe, or will they drop like a stone now?

fixed….

team is a cauldron of shabite it really is, but you know how it goes - true good players make other players better. You never need eleven new players. 1 or 2 legit footballers and things can improve massively because the average players stop being bad.
Doesn't really help us in the here and now but things can change if we skate the drop.

Why do you say we might have a points deduction next season?

For breaching the FFP regulations in regard to the maximum losses over a three year period. It would appear we are about to post another significant loss for last year.

Crikey.

That would really set the seal on this most miserable of seasons ?
