Popular Post Tielemans63 Posted 2 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 2 January 2023 I'm more concerned about next season and the direction of travel. We probably will avoid it this season and then we'll likely lose some key players. The next two transfer windows (this one included) are imperative imho. Failure to act and there may not be 3 worse teams next season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will have another small purple patch which will give us 4 or 5 wins on the spin, and this will be just enough to coat over the other 15 odd games of shit we will be served up either side of it. We have two more periods of fixtures where there’s a few winnable games. The first is now: Fulham, Forest, Brighton, Villa. You’d expect us to pick up 4-6 points from these games. We then have a period where I genuinely can’t see us picking up more than another 4-6 points. Spurs, United, Arsenal, Saints, Chelsea, Brentford. This probably (by my pessimistic viewpoint) gives us ~30 points with 10 games left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also hinges a lot on us keeping Maddison & Tielemans. It’s just a shame we can’t play the bottom 6 more than twice a season 😂 Already lost against Southampton and Bournemouth so your theory is ?

At the minute we are beating teams below us (aside from Southampton very early into the season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurru991 Posted 2 January 2023 Share Posted 2 January 2023 I don't expect us to be relegated but let's be honest .... It's a possibility !!! We need to put some distance between us and the drop zone now because points are progressively harder to to come by as the season moves along.

Back into Administration football is cyclical anyway . Whatever happens we have had a great 10 year ride. The club will still be here for us all bankrupt or not.

I think this season will be fine but considering how poor our recruitment has been, I expect us to go down next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 2 January 2023 Share Posted 2 January 2023 We won't go down but this season is a stark warning about what could lay ahead with a bad summer. A fair few players moving on, Vardy another year older, and lots of work to do on the squad. Teams coming up having a good go now too, we're paying for some horrible transfer business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will be lucky to get 8 points ( 25 points) with 10 games remaining; hopefully from those 10 games we can accrue enough points to stay up, relative to the bottom three. I would be more optimistic if Rodgers changes his ways and plays two strikers upfront and changes the formation to suit the players we have etc. Those 8 points coming from Imo Southampton (win) Brentford ( draw) Villa (win) Brighton (draw) the rest will be losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surrifox Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 There’s usually a side that never really looks like relegation material that goes on an unstoppable slump in form towards the end of the season - I’m hoping it won’t be us , but if not us , who ?

leicesterseddon Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 At the time, I regarded the West Ham and Everton wins as a turning point. But it’s now clear they are potential relegation candidates too, so I’m starting to reassess that theory. Our five wins this season have all been against sides lower than 14th. Unless that starts to change, there’s no reason not to assume we are in with a chance of relegation too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 (edited) I can see these 2 going down in 19th and 20th: Bournemouth other than the double win vs Everton they haven’t actually beaten anyone else since us at the start of October, and the bounce they got from O’Neill being caretaker is well and truly gone and I think they have got it wrong giving him it permanently Southampton just look awful and have got it wrong in hiring Jones, just 1 league win since August That 18th place could be between any of the others from us in 13th and down Edited 3 January 2023 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll finish on roughly 40 points. Which is a pathetic return. But Brendan & his fanboys will find a way of calling it a great success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
