Premier League 2023/2024

[Mr Pink]

Worried that with international break it will be more difficult to go over with everyone . We'll know within 20 mins of luton game I suppose

We've been generally strong enough at home, bar Wolves. Although we've had a few close scrapes.

Just think away from home, the mentality is tested that bit more.

 

[Dr Know]

Need to up for it right from the start and hopefully build up a big lead early on to put the match out of their reach.

I really do question our ability to do that. We seam to be a second half team. We also tend to play better after we concede (although that was not the case yesterday)
I don’t think the boys feel we’re better than we are but sometimes they lack the focus because the opponent might be a lower team.

I agree, but its Ange's responsibility to recognise it and fix the mental slackness amongst the group.

Agreed, we never stop learning and no one is perfect. I would also like to see Ange adopt different tactics in some games. I’m not saying we should lose our attacking style but we can’t play every opponent with the same tactics

Anybody any idea when we'll hear news on the rearranged City fixture?...

Surely this week....

That will be easier to schedule, City have more commitments

City surely has to be in the final midweek between Burnley and Sheff Utd because of their CL commitments?

So Chelsea will have to be before then.

Now there shouldn't be any more postponements I hope we find out this week.

Agree, 14/15th May surely for City. Id say the end of this week absolute latest for confirmation.

Am I reading that right? Theyre allowed 61m loss due to 2 seasons in championship and they spent 250m on players. And ended up with much less deduction than everton

Well, two points less than Everton. Don't think about the 10, the appeal board judged that that sentence was too harsh and it's the 6 Everton actually got that sets the precedent for all the cases that are now up.

Are Everton not facing another sanction? For the same time period as Forest?

Yes, that should also see a new verdict very soon.

But literally a month ago, they said this about everton

"We consider that a 6 point deduction is the minimum but sufficient sanction for breaking PSR"

So how can they give below the "minimum" to forest. Do Everton appeal again? Does theirs get reduced to 4 or forest increased to 6?

But there is the account that Forest's threshold was lower because of their Championship years and them spending £250m on players doesn't mean they were anywhere near £250m over on PSR, I haven't seen if those figures are available yet.

Clearly the panel felt Forest's case was less severe than Everton's. Simple as that.
