That's a big IF though.... It just reinforces how big the match on Saturday is - could define our season.... Has to be Bournemouth,our biggest bogey team in history.Couldn’t even beat them in the title season. 1
Paninistickers Posted 4 April 2023 Posted 4 April 2023 81. 86. 95. 02. 04. 07. 23. Used to be an occupational hazard following city and being relegated. 16 years since the last one. Jeez. And wow, this is gonna sting. I don't recall the others being this rough. Most were inevitable. 1

There are too many teams involved to say anything is done and dusted yet. Agreed but it does feel like nothing is going for us at the minute: own goals, red cards, last minute screamers, whilst rivals are picking up points. We are definitely good enough to stay up but the mentality and tactics are negative. Big win against Bournemouth and we will kick on - lose and it’s probably curtains. Edited 4 April 2023 by W7Fox
Gubbins Posted 4 April 2023 Posted 4 April 2023 My hope pre game is we would get a bounce from finally getting rid of rodgers much like what happened after sacking Ranieri. Instead we get a minor improvement on recent games but yet another defeat. Left the ground convinced we were done for and am actually amazed looking at the league to see we still have half a chance with it being so tight. The regular ineptness, ingrained bottling and the complete lack now of any room for error thanks to keeping BR 6 months too long will probably do for us though. We HAVE to beat Bournemouth.
Kasey Keller Posted 4 April 2023 Posted 4 April 2023 Our goose is cooked. we all know Bournemouth will shlthouse a win at the ever obliging KP. Man City will score double figures as well to knacker the goal difference
blueharmie Posted 4 April 2023 Posted 4 April 2023 After watching us for 30years I know the premier League is over for us. Sunk in today after the match. It's sad but let's not pretend we have the balls to get out of this.

Dyche is no Pep but his whole M.O. is geared to deal with situations like this. He may as well put "just good enough" on his business card. 2
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 4 April 2023 Posted 4 April 2023 Maybe 🤔 a positive if we do go down proper fans back in and day trippers out mind you it will be 30 years before we get back up probably 1
urban.spaceman Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 First time posting in this thread. Tonight’s result really feels lit that’s it. We’re down. The board need to bring in a ****ing miracle worker for the next 9 games. I think 3 wins could do it but I genuinely don’t know where the next POINT will come from. Tonight has left me thoroughly depressed. We are ****ing ****ed.
Dan Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 You've just got to pray that Forest, Southampton and Bournemouth are all worse. Saturday is an absolute must win. Lose it and we're definitely going I think. 2
cruzFOX Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Those that were saying we will not know our fate until the last game of the season well their premonition is certainly coming true. Half of us will have kicked the bucket by then from the sheer stress of it all! God help us cuz no one else will.
Deeg67 Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 (edited) I think it pretty much comes down to ourselves, Bournemouth, Soton (who’re screwed IMHO), and Forest. CP and Leeds are to me clearly a little better than the other sides in the scrap, and the table is starting to reflect that. Everton under Dyche is built to just scrape by. West Ham has two matches at hand and a decent run-in. Wolves probably the most likely outsider to back into the worst of it. Edited 5 April 2023 by Deeg67
JimJams Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 On paper Forest, Everton and Wolves should all come away with nothing at the weekend. So if we manage to beat Bournemouth we'll shoot up to the heady heights of 14th or 15th. Lose and we're screwed. We've got 5 games against fellow relegation candidates, and I think we'll need to win the lot.
Gazza M Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 We are in a mini league of 4 now I think, the winner gets to stay in the league. Seeing we have lost to all 3 (Southampton x2, Bournemouth, Forest) it doesn't appear good. Absolute must take 3 Saturday.
teblin Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Sure other have posted this, but but if research in most of the last 8/9 season 36 points has been enough for survival. One it was 38 needed one was as low as 30. we somehow have to find 3 or 4 wins and some draws when we have only won 7 all season. it sounds stupid to say as obviously we haven’t won enough. But one of the pundits on the Monday night club said we don’t draw enough. So many games where we should at least had a point, last night being one of them. 1
Speedwell 🦊 Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 They CANNOT LOSE Saturday.It’s going to be a tough game.Although B’mouth lost to Brighton,they were all over them.
Lesta Legend Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Too late. Most of us called for the change that was clearly needed, it was evident it was him that was causing the decline and the misguided belief from the board to stick with him has only further impacted any chances we had. The ineptitude is breathtaking. Like some have said a miracle worker is needed but with the limited time I can’t see it. It’s hard to see where our next points come from tbh.
KrefelderFox666 Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Bournemouth (H) Wolves (H) Leeds (A) Everton (H) I think we need to win 3 of those games if we want to stay up. 7 points would still give us a chance but it would make for a tricky May needing away wins at either Fulham or Newcastle and home wins against Liverpool or West Ham.
Kinowe Soorie Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Can’t wait to hear, “you’re not famous any more” then lose to Barnsley
Pliskin Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Bournemouth Leeds Forest Everton All have pretty tricky fixtures. Plus we all play one another bar Forest who we don’t face. Leeds, Forest and Bournemouth all have to play more of the box six than we do, but our last two games are tough. I’d be more concerned if we were Forest or Bournemouth as both of those two sides have the harder of the run ins. We’ve still got a great chance, however, we HAVE to get 6 points in our next two games I think. It’s going down to the wire that’s for sure, I think you can rule Everton out, they’ve got the fight to get out, and West Ham and Wolves have just enough quality to get out of it. We just need to get our act together, find a bit of form for the last stretch and by the skin of our teeth, we could do it.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Not over yet but I feel like it is, we miss sitters, make costly mistakes at crucial moments, the confidence was shot a very long time ago.. It’s Such a poor league this season and that is our only saving grace, here’s hoping there are 3 worse teams than us.

Yeah I can really see us beating Man City away
