The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[windymiller]

Not sure you can say we were particularly poor last season given the points deduction knocked us down from 12th.

My point is that the whole of the bottom of the PL was poor.

wolves are winning .

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Ipswich 1 down for those still playing along at home.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Ipswich 3-0 down now…

 

[YoboCopter]

We could loose every game rest of season and still stay up easily

 

[Victus]

Pathetic showing. Of course the one year we're not in it there's a not an ounce of excitement to been seen.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

The relegation battle that was already over is starting to look like it's over.

It's concerning to think that even under Dyche as appalling as we were, we'd be a few points clear, considering the bottom 3 won at max 3 points in 10 games since he's gone.

Derby fans looking very hopeful now that Southampton are going to take their ‘worst points total’ mantle

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

After Leicester loses tomorrow, that’ll leave only 9 matches to achieve the impossible for the bottom three. It’s over. We’re staying up. Now it’s all about how much money we can earn by finishing higher up the table.

 

[GoldenToffee]

This is our final position now, 16th. Terrible obviously, but we'll all take it after what we went through for half of this season.

LOSE

Ipswich picked up ONE point since Dyche was sacked. Just checked back and the league game before that was them at Fulham. Were 2-1 up and conceded 90th minute penalty, would've got out of relegation zone and above this club if they'd held on that day (they'd also just beaten Chelsea so were starting to get momentum).

Now they're considerably worse than Luton. As I suspected at the time Ben Godfrey being their "star" defensive January signing was never going to be close to being good enough.

Promoted three won't be as bad as this next season. At least this time Burnley look like they can actually defend again so they will probably grind out more low scoring draws and 1-0s next season although their attack dosen't look up to much.

Yeah averted disaster but now the bounce from Moyes coming in is tailing off unsurprisingly. This squad was never going to keep scoring 2 or 3 regularly though, that was fairly obvious especially after Ndiaye's injury.

The danger would've been hanging onto Dyche when he was scrambling draws every other game and a result like today only getting the side up to 24 points as opposed to 34.

So in that scenario below Wolves and still in danger of being overtaken by a late surge.

To be 17 points clear of 18th is ridiculous given Moyes has only been in the job for two months. The Villa home loss was 15th January. 17 points from 9 since which is a great run at any stage of a season.

Pretty much.

Accepting 16th at the start of the season would have been an unforgiveable target.

Accepting 16th at the end of the season now is almost a relief.

We get the chance (again) to do things right in the summer, finally get a hold of our finances and work toward some sort of success on the pitch, in our beautiful stadium.

I have to believe that the future is better than these past few seasons, simply because it can't be much worse than we've endured.. New owners, new stadium, new purpose....and here's to not having to create another relegation thread again.
