2022/23 Relegation battle thread

[dontcallme]

As always the relegation battle is one of the most interesting as there is so much at stake.

Southampton are bottom but not out of it. A disastrous appointment set them back massively and alongside Bournemouth are likely to go down.

Everton are 3rd bottom with Leeds just above them. Would obviously love West Ham to go down but I think the 3rd spot is between Leeds, Everton and Wolves.

I’m predicting Saints, Bournemouth and Leeds to go down.

Saints, Bournemouth, and Everton for me. The new manager bounce has evaporated at Everton already. I really can't understand how they are in such a mess with the squad they have.

I think Southampton and Bournemouth are pretty much gone. Saints have been pathetic apart from that one win against Chelsea which seems more and more like an abberation. Bournemouth just don't have the quality anywhere on the pitch.

The team of Everton, Leeds and Wolves who scores least will join them. That's all three sides' main problem. I think Wolves are the best side across the rest of the pitch so my hunch is that they'll get out of it.

Please God... give us JWP...... I have been asking this for the longest time, ever since we got Poch, i always thought he would have wanted to bring him along.

we really need him, our freekicks have been utter rubbish as of late... i would rotate him and Skipp (Bentancur). Skipp for away games when we need the defensive stability, JWP for home games when we have more of the ball.

He just always seems pretty average at everything else, but maybe that's just because of who he plays for and with. Might be better in a better squad, but don't remember him being particularly great for England (low bar, I know).

Thought the presenter was Poch for a second!

Is it too early to laugh at Leicester?

Hope Leicester disappear into the ether never to return

Crazy how well Bournemouth have done, everyone had them going down.

Looking like all 3 promoted sides will stay up.

Think forest need another point as I can see Leeds doing us.

Can still be one of 2 of around 5 teams but at the moment 2 promoted sides are definitely safe and the 3rd are favourites to stay up out of the sides in danger.

 

[Monkey boy]

Was hoping Everton would go down but think they’ll be safe with a win against Bournemouth on the final day. Still think Forest are in danger with their last 2 fixtures.

 

[dontcallme]

If Forrest win today, they’re safe.

2 of Leeds, Everton and Leicester are some pretty big sides.

So, don't keep us in suspense. Did Forest win or not?
