Relegation

[Sheedy's right peg]

If Palace win today it would mean they'd come to our place in the league a few days after the FA Cup final.

Either they'd then be too hungover or too depressed to play properly.

Draw isn’t too bad as a Burnley win would have heaped the pressure on our squad of bravehearts.

We still have to handle our own business at home, starting Wednesday, and we desperately need to nick a point or win away to really help the cause - have to hope Mina can make a similar difference to the defence that delph did to the midfield.

We should definitely still have one eye on Leeds - they are catchable with their games.

Cmon Everton - get us safe asap so we can end the crappy season of suffering.

Not ideal for us, that point for Burnley, but in relation to your last paragraph there's only five weeks worth of misery left one way or the other.

 

[Steve EFC]

Yes, considering we have Liverpool away after that. A win against Leicester pulls Leeds into it as well.

Agreed also because they would see that as a positive result, a confidence boosting point at West Ham!

Pretty sure the other centre midfielder Brownhill plays for Burnley and he is one booking away from a 2 match ban

Cork, Brownhill and Stephens are their remaining three central midfielders.

Clealy if Brownhill does get a yellow in the next game or two then they would be down to the bare bones.

They will need to fight for the wins so alot of cards wont surprise me.

….they are usually aggressive anyway, unless that changes now Dyche has gone.

I'd put money on depressed. I have hope that someone will rain on the RS's parade, but I can't see CP being the ones.

So is Leicester now a must win or what

Every game is

 

[PhilEFC]

It’s all down to us. I’m more confident now we’ve got Mina, Van de Beek, Allan and Delph back.

We need Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison to start scoring though.

 

[Ron Swanson]

I’m still not convince. If we win at home against Leicester, 6 points clear. The next 3 games after that will be tough and potentially 0 points. Someone please convince me 6 points is a good cushion.

For Burnley, 6 points is just under 1/4 of their total points over 31 games.

I dont have much faith in him, tbh.

Did ok in a couple of games then went missing.

Delph and Allan are our way out of this.

 

[Stephenlloyd]

Burnley have two winnable home games after this.

The way they play nothing is winnable for them. Southampton and wolves are two tough games

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Another massive atmosphere needed for Weds. Huge game again (as they all seem to be) - but much more so with the Derby on the heels of it.

Can’t wait to see the back of this season. Clenching my arse cheeks everytime Burnley attack West Ham aint a good look….

I'm glad someone else is like me

 

[irishgoose]

For me, our Strikers should be getting the least flak, but thats just me.

Ok now you lost me on that one ha.
I do agree with your statement

As you alluded to, we arent creating chances for our Strikers, last season DCL and Richy had service and slotted.

Thing is VDB has played a few games we really didnt turn up in and he offered nothing, bench at best for him on Wedneday
