Relegation

[Gilbert..]

….they are competitive, they are defensively well organised. They look more effective than us.

I cant see us just 1 nil down going into the last 5 minutes there in a few weeks.
Probably battered by half time

 

[knowing your history]

Watford are better than us.... They look solid, organised... Loads of running.

Everything we're not.

They have winnable home games left aswell. Brentford, Leeds, Burnley and Leicester on top of the six pointer down there. 4 wins and a draw gets them to 35 points.

Imagine sitting here hoping liverpool get this result over the line.
I hate you Everton right now. So bad for my sanity and mood.

Watford have put in a far better performance than I ever expected here. Luckily performances don't equal points and that's another game they've lost.

…to be fair, the Reds will be well up for that one. I’m more concerned with us visiting Watford.

….said the same to Mrs Eggs. Sad times.

There’s lots of things we can blame but the Benitez appointment truly turned the club sour and made us relegation candidates.

I agree with this but I still would prefer our position

3 points ahead. 3 games in hand. Superior goal difference.

That said, if we were level on points and games, I'd not fancy our chances, so its a good job we have those things to fall back on.

….the way I look at it is whether they will get 4 points more than us between now and the end of the season. I fear they will.

Its possible of course, but every game they lose hurts them more, because they only have 8 left now.

A loss is a loss and they all hurt at this stage of the season

They have to go to city and Chelsea as well.
They won't get anything there I would suggest .
That leaves them with 6 games to get more then us. I doubt they will

If we play poorly enough that we finish below Watford, it’s highly likely we’ll finish below Burnley as well.

Watford have got probably got 4 games left that will decide whether they stay up or not, Brentford, Leeds, us and Burnley all at home. If they win all of them, they’ll have 34 points but that will be a big ask seeing as they’ve lost 8 home games in a row.

+ H against us with no date yet.

Their next two games will be critical so by the 16th April we should have a really clear picture of how they look.

I fear some of you are looking at the wrong team. Burnley are 4 points behind, but have played the same number of games and have a better goal difference……

We need to stay ahead of both of them .
