Mark Albrighton Posted March 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2023 Southampton look like they’re circling the drain. I suspect Bournemouth will go too. For me it’s between Everton and Leeds. Wolves and West Ham will have a few scares between now and May but I think they’ll have enough. West Ham will pull out a result here and there and Wolves will 0-0 their way to safety. And even though it’s not like they’re in the clear, it just doesn’t feel like Forest and Leicester will go.

Then its Forest, Leeds or Everton to go down and I think it will be Leeds to go. I’m about 90-95% on Southampton. Bournemouth, I’m currently more like 75-80%. I don’t think they’re good, but there’s a fair few six pointers they have left which makes me a bit less convinced. They still have Leicester, West Ham, Southampton, Leeds and Everton. And by the time they play Palace, they may well be on the beach. I keep flip flopping between Leeds and Everton for the third spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I somehow can't picture Everton going down, possibly in a similar way to how non-Villa fans may have thought of us in the seasons until we absolutely stank the league out. They aren't as bad as were, so I just can't see it in my minds eye. Southampton look absolutely done - they seem to be shot to pieces. Bournemouth don't seem to have the quality and have an inexperienced manager, so I can't see beyond relegation for both teams. West Ham and Wolves will bore their way to safety - 1-0's, 0-0's upon demand. Leicesters defence is atrocious, but they've usually got goals in them so should have enough to get 2 or 3 wins. Leeds are rubbish but I have a feeling they may sneak some tight wins too, which I think leaves Forest, who struggle to score goals (18) and have the 2nd worst defence, which is a bad combination. Home form/support might keep them up, but I've a bad feeling about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Saints have accepted relegation in my opinion and will appoint someone to get them back up at 1st hurdle like burnley have. Bournemouth forget about it Its between leeds everton and forest. I think it will be forest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I think Everton are done. No goals in that team. Southampton and Bournemouth will follow. Think Forest and Leeds will just about to enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Forest and Leeds will just about to enough. That's a common theme with the teams down there. A lack of goals being scored. Everton, Forest struggle to score. So do Wolves. Southampton and Bournemouth look doomed. There is always one team that seems to pull some results out of nowhere and climb to safety. I can see Everton scraping a few 1 nil wins at home with Dyche in charge. If they score first they will do what Dyche's teams do and park the bus. I would love to see the dogheads get dragged down there. They are similar to Leeds. For all the huff and puff. They struggle to put the ball in the net. West Ham will pull away now Ings is there. Leicester score enough to win matches and Palace eke out enough draws. Latest odds have Southampton and Bournemouth as certs and then Everton, Leeds, Forest and the Dogheads next.

Mr_Dogg Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 West ham were absolutely pummeled today, the scoreline doesn't do it justice. Moyes could still lose his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 33 points and they can just draw another 3-4 on top. They're a poor team but as said similar to what we looked like under Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
