GlobalVillan Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Southampton, Bournemouth and Forest. Maybe Everton, Leicester or Leeds could get dragged in but I think it will be those 3. Nobody else in the running for me after looking at remaining fixtures. Edited April 9, 2023 by GlobalVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, read above, I initially forgot to add them into the 3 that MAY be involved but they won't go down. They have decent fixtures and very good players.

Why are currently 19th placed, winless in eight Leicester City not “in the running” to be relegated according to you? They are seemingly not in your top five most likely candidates to be relegated. Why do you think that? Edit - I see you have now amended the original to include them. Edited April 9, 2023 by Mark Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I forgot to initially include them in the MAYBE part of my post and corrected it right away. I still think they will survive although I hope they don't!

As for Leicester, for me they’re not quite in that immediate wish list of teams I want to drop, but there’s a sort of intrigue if they went down. I think it’s more interesting if they went down instead of say, Bournemouth. But obviously not as interesting as it would be if Everton dropped.

Absolutely brilliant player and exactly what we need. If they do go down there will be a fair few of theor players in high demand such as Barnes, Maddison, Ndidi etc....

Maybe Everton, Leicester or Leeds could get dragged in but I think it will be those 3. Nobody else in the running for me after looking at remaining fixtures. Bournemouth will be safe with a win at Southampton and 4 points from the Leeds and West Ham home games and I think they're playing well enough to do that. Can get points in a few other games aswell. Gary O'Neil should be outsider for manager of the season as I had them finishing rock bottom Norwich style after the start they made. Forest and Southampton look like locks certainly but they still have to play each other in the run in so perhaps the winner of that game might win another game a week later and then they have a half chance. Leicester 2nd bottom, picked up 1 point in last 8 games and generally look like they've given up and they "could get dragged in." Interesting phrase to describe their current situation, there's a bit more panic on Foxes Talk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Leicester v Everton and Leicester v Leeds are such huge games. Both six pointers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 2 teams have have 27 points from 30 games, so averaging well less than 1ppg. Stick in a freak result and they'll probably get to 36/37 from their 38. So realistically, given most of them play each other because there's so many involved, 37 should be enough - so 2 wins for the likes of Wolves, West Ham, Palace and possibly Leeds is very achievable. Forest and Southampton look in huge trouble - one is adrift and miles away from a mid 30s points total, and the other doesn't look like they've got another win in them. Everton need 10 points to get to 37, which isnt impossible, but they have tough games. Leicester have tough games, the fans have turned and they look in huge trouble. Got a feeling this might be a bit of an anti-climax, with Southampton going, and 2 of Leicester, Forest and Bournemouth being involved to the last couple of games.

brummybloke Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Palace looked like prime barca in the 15 minutes I watched thanks to Leeds being so rubbish. Come on forest Southampton and Bournemouth, go on a late surge and pick up points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
