KrefelderFox666 Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 I am still confident we pick up the required points. It's just a horrible journey to be on with all the ups and downs. Anyone fancy moaning about a boring mid table season again? Think we could get 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. I even think we could get 3 wins out of the 5 games. I am refusing to give up until it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, in all the many, many games he's been in charge for, we haven't yet scored first? That certainly is concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd put us on 36 - which currently holds a 98% chance of survival (although that may have decreased after Forest's win) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigstonWanderer Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 Forest result was very bad news. The chances of us and them both staying up is pretty slim and I can see them getting sufficient points to survive. My Forest supporting brother in law thinks they’ve been playing well recently but not getting the breaks. Just hoping that the late equaliser against Leeds gives our lads some fight/heart.

To the point where everything king power want to achieve is ruined and years of hard work undone in one season. We would probably go down again, due to not having the capacity to perform the kind of rebuild we would need. Relegation would ruin us. Well you're not exactly Mr Glass-Half-Full!

I don’t think it is slim is both staying up, I have Southampton, Everton and Leeds dropping, if the remaining games go as expected - obviously there are lots of twist and turns and they won’t all go as we expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian S Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 1 hour ago, Simoken said: Its not looking good folks. In the next 5 games simply put, we need to get 1 more point than both Forest and Leeds and I am sure we will stay up. In the last 2 games I have seen enough to believe we can achieve that even though there will still be some shock results on the way. It’s going to the wire but hardly surprising with how crap we have been and not giving the new management team enough games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it’s horrible but I am a lot more hopeful than I was 7 days ago.The Forest result last night was always on the cards after Sunday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxdiamond Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 Anyway just think back when you thought if we can just win the league and or FA cup I will accept anything that follows. Not so easy now when the prospect is real but don't you just love this club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieTodger Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 That Forest result is a bastard, think they’ll stay up now. Still, it’s definitely possible to send Everton and Leeds down. Got to win on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 the upside is Leeds and Everton have nasty run ins. must win Monday, must win at least one more on top of that and probably at least point more from somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two players screamed out (again) after minutes on Tuesday. Their inclusion and delay in replacing may prove very expensive. ..and it wasn’t just Tuesday Let me guess you're crying about Barnes again?

Parachute payments and sellable assets/reduction in cost of wages would probably save us. But apart from that, yes you are correct. Would undo all the building we have put in place. We need to stay up and rebuild in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shailen Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 We have the quality to stay up and I've seen us show the fight too. We're very good going forward but the number of soft goals we let in has been our issue all season. Individual mistakes have cost us large.

scarthin Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 55 minutes ago, An Sionnach said: This is down to Rodgers and his obsession with purity and style which to be fair was the common thread on this forum as well. Football is a physical game and skill only gets you so far. If Harland was 5-8 instead of 6-4 he would be nowhere near the threat even with the same skill level. Our defense is now physically capable but we are still at a disadvantage further forward. We must rebalance the team especially if we go down. 💯 Both approaches have their time and place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 1 hour ago, Sol thewall Bamba said: The objective is to finish above three others though, not to hit a set points target. Of course people will be discouraged if those other three are picking up points, which makes the objective harder to achieve. I never said anything about a points target. Had Forest not won last night, we’d still need to beat Everton on Monday. Fully understand that yeah we don’t want them to win, it’s not ideal. But like I’ve said, regardless of their result last night, doesn’t change what we have to do, we are still in control of our own destiny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les-TA-Jon Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 Including Forest's game last night, there is/was 29 fixtures left across the bottom 5. We can't expect every single result to go our way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 Today and Monday are huge days in our season. I think 35 is the magic total. With our goal difference, I think that should see us safe. In total that is 2 wins - starting with Everton. I think it might be us and Forest to save ourselves. I wouldnt mind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current chances of survival: 34 = 71% 35 = 90% 36 = 98% If 36 points keeps anyone up l’ll be very surprised.

LFEFox23 Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 My predictions - Everton H - 3 Points Fulham A - 1 Point Liverpool H - 0 Points Newcastle A - 0 Points West Ham H - 3 points Personally think its enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more important than ever that we continue to resurrect the Great Escape Spirit and get behind the team. Hats off we've come back in 5 games in the last few months and now need to get on top of teams and put them away COYB We need to start with our most spirited 11 who's talents lend themselves to grinding out results. We didn't do that on Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
