useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Haven't seen Foster's interview but I'd be wary of him playing down their chances or anything like that, could just be trying to be playing mind games to give other teams a false sense of security. We just have to take care of our own business, should be treating the West Ham game like it's a play-off final, win that then unless Watford somehow thrash Arsenal we will stay up.

ml1dch Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Championship 14/15, Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich were promoted in that order. Seems pretty fair that five years later they go back again in that order 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think currently Watford look a lot worse than us. I'm more worried about us losing and Bournemouth beating Everton, than Watford to be honest. Yep. Bournemouth are the threat. I worry about them, watford are done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, we’ve got a great chance to stay up, with Arsenal likely wanting to beat Watford for their pride. Yeah I agree. It's funny how things can work out sometimes. I always think back to that Playoff Final we lost and how gutted we were. But in reality we'd have probably been worse off to get promoted with that manager and owner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Watford will put up a fight, but I don't think it'll be enough to beat Arsenal. Bournemouth beating Everton by a goal is very feasible though, and worries me far more 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 We've missed plenty of chances all season and let in silly goals, if we go down on goal difference by one goal it won't be Davis' fault, he only came into the side after lockdown, if he'd have been fit all season we might even be safe alread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would not have performed like we did had we beaten Everton. It probably worked out better as arsenal could have tonked us if we didnt perform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently if we lose by 1 and bournemouth win by 1 we're down. Basically we need a result 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 No guarantee that Bournemouth are going to beat Everton, Everton are a decent side and will want to finish the season with a win. It doesn't guarantee that we will survive but I'd rather be playing West Ham with nothing to play for rather than Everton or Arsenal with nothing to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"just" drawing with West Ham, who have recently beaten Chelsea and aren't in a bad run of form themselves, isn't easy. I think it's far more likely Bournemouth will win than Watford, making them the bigger threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Just had a look on an Everton forum and they don't seem to like Bournemouth or Eddie Howe very much at all, equating them with tories and Liverpool football club, not sure what the connection is ther,e but seem desperate to send them down. Might have made a difference if those fans were in the stadium, hopefully their players are equally up for it as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Having a player like Jack really sets us apart from Watford and Bournemouth. They simply doesn't have a creative player like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
