Relegation

[Fox85]

We need to come together and form a protest outside the stadium.

 

Answers need to be made for the shower of shit show that is currently being orcastrated.

 

The circus that is running this club and letting BR get away with this are just as much to blame.

 

This club is going 1 way and 1 way fast.

very good chance we will only have 1 point after that run. hard to see us turning things around if that is the case.

After 8 games? If we are in this position come April then you to start to worry. Things will turn.

Btw we're less than 5 games in.

 

Start to take notice of the league around Christmas. We know this too well. 

Yea we usually do worse after Xmas 

[Blanchflower78]

Completes the recent circle. Can accept going down, can't accept that every man and his dog could see it coming. 

 

Big week for the club now.

[David Hankey]

At this rate, a distinct possibility.

[LCFCJoe96]

I miss the Championship tbh…but no I don’t think we’re heading that way just yet, keep on like this and Rodgers will get the boot and there’s more than enough quality to keep us up for the new manager

Might do better this season, who knows.

 

I remember Moyes at Everton and he always started slow then finished well. Maybe it's us this season.

 

(That's me being positive).

Has any team survived with only 1 point after 8 games? genuine question. 

[lcfcell]

not many people laughing the idea of relegation off anymore… i think that sums up the situation

We’ve been terrible defensively for 12 months, can’t keep expecting wonder goals to bail us out. 
We won’t all of a sudden improve under him and start keeping clean sheets. He needs to go now before it’s too late

As it stands we're favourites to go down

We're 3/1 to go down so 1/3 to stay up. To put this in perspective, Everton last season  at xmas, who were really struggling (sacked Benitez) were 12s to go down.

 

I may live to regret this but for big pocketed pro punters I d say we're currently bordering on an extemely good value bet to stay up.

 

Over the course of the season Fulham, Brentford, Bournemouth, Saints, Leeds, Palace will all struggle and should be below us in tbe betting.

 

Current odds are an extreme over reaction. 

 

We will survive.

 

[martyn]

This week is a massive one in terms of the transfer window. Hopefully we get some good business done both incoming and outgoing.

 

Aside from the issues we know we have, potential decline of Evans and Vardy is a worry. We've always had him as a top quality striker to separate us from the guff previously. If he drops off we could be bang in trouble. We also have a distinctly average goalkeeper who'll win us less points than Schmeichel.

 

I suspect we will ultimately be ok as we have just about enough quality, but it'll be a slog of a season

With no change we are going down ,we were lucky it wasn't last season .Its clear if it was another team we'd be  saying they're down if no manager change.

We lost to Chelsea ffs. 

Thank you for your insight! So what games do you expect us to win?

[honeybradger]

In the 14/15 season we had 5 points from 4 games by now, 8 points from 5 games.

 

In the 03/04 season we had 2 points from the first 4 games, 5 from the first 5 games.

 

In the 01/02 season we had 4 points from the first 4 games, 4 from the first 5 games.

 

This season we have 1 point from 4 games, likely 1 point from 5 games.

 

It will be interesting to compare how this current side fares against these teams of the past as the season goes on.

[fox_favourite]

IF, IF we are able to bring the right person in, it may change our fortunes. In reality, I can’t see that happening. Gonna be a hard slog, but we need to back the players in the stadium…even when we’re shite. Only thing we can do.

With 10 men

 

We also drew to Brentford and lost to Southampton at home

I’m actually convinced it’s happening, unless we sack manager in next 2-3 weeks. I don’t see many teams worse than us, especially when it comes to defending, something we’ve not been able to do for a while now. 
 

Manager has to go or it’s curtains

Pull yourself together man

[NewburyFox]

I want him out, but we also need to recruit well over the next few days, at least one CB and a right winger. Is it possible to do both? I'm not sure. 

[ronnup]

Spurs and United will beat us...must win against Brighton and Villa

Put a big bet on it then, seeing as you're certain. I bet you won't.

Didn’t Sheffield Utd have something like that couple of seasons ago? Got relegated..

Brighton will be too good for us

[tsintskaro]

Wolves and West Ham got good players and i am sure they will improve

that makes us one of those contenders for bottom 3 right now

well yeah Bournemouth is worst and will surely go down

Bournemouth just lost 9-0.

 

We're in a right mess but we're not favourites.

Did they change it so only one team goes down?  Brendan living his best life!
