I think Cooper, Struyjk, Rasmus have all regressed in the defence, Llorente too. Ayling doing okay, Koch similar.

Midfield Roca has regressed, Harrison too. SUmmerville and Sinistera too but maybe that is just cos of the injuries. Aaronsen has dropped off a cliff formwise.

Rodrigo is the only success but maybe he was simply due a run of goals.
Jeez i don't know why i was thinking you and Sara might just be wrong tother week, if i was on a tightrope i just slipped and cut off a bollock if not both, that 2nd half was fcking atrocious management and showed me the solitary string to his bow in all it's glory.

Throw a new manager in at the deep end in the next 2 v Scum and he might've a chance in the 2 after that.

Have you anyone in mind ? Bert's interest in the EFC job showed me he absolutely wants to stick it right up Ortas arsehole and not a chance in hell would he entertain coming back here whilst he's around and so that goes for Radz too.

Who can save us ?

Today was the first day I really felt like we are going down with Marsch. I was pissed off and frustrated after the Palace match and called for his sacking then. But today wasn't me being pissed off. It was a real feeling of doom. If we don't make a Managerial move we are going down.

Our GD advantage with those around us will be gone too after the 2 thrashings we are about to receive.

Absolutely crucial game tomorrow for us.

An absolute must win when you look at the fixtures we have left.

Must win for Everton to.

Forest may be back in trouble, they are having a cb crisis and have asked the Premier League to allow them to re register Steve Cook into there 25 man squad.

It would be totally wrong if that was allowed.

But Forest only have Felipe and Joe Worrall as cbs fit

Wily Boly, Scott Mckenna and Moussa Niakhate all injured for a decent time.

Crystal Palace to have concerns of there own relegation wise

There performance data is actually relegation level and they are relying on individuals to pull them through.

Zaha is now injured and Palace have 1 win in 9.

Everton beat us 1-0

Southampton beat Chelsea 1-0

Bournemouth beat Wolves 1-0

We drop to 19th and games we should expect to have a chance of 3 points are fading.

If we get to the final 4 needing more than a point or 2 to stay up we are gone.

Out of the relegation zone (all be it if Bournemouth beat Man City we go back in).

Wolves and Leicester not able to pull away much with a draw with Fulham and a defeat to Arsenal respectively.

After the joy of last weekends win vs us Everton back to reality and the relegation zone with a 2-0 defeat to Villa.

West Ham comfortable in a 4-0 win vs Forest who themselves must be a bit nervous.

Every club from 12th down is in real danger. A loss today and Leeds would have been bottom. A win next week and we could be up to 13th.

I said before Palace are the kind of side who could go on a long winless run. Their XG is always way lower than their league position. Hopefully Liverpool win and we're only 4 behind.

Palace are a good shout (it's why I don't rate Vieira as a manager).

They are massively reliant on there talented individuals (Eze, Olise, Zaha etc) to win.

Never a good position to be in and that sort of xG shows a pretty poor team

Always thought West Ham would pull away so glad they thumped Forest today. We play WH in the penultimate game of the season so would prefer if they have nothing particular to play for by then.

... or we have nothing to play for as we're comfortably in 12th and they need to win to escape the drop.

How our moods swing with a Leeds result. Last weekend I was down, desolate and even resigned to the Championship. Now I am thinking 12th.

On a realistic level, I think we just got Gracia in the nick of time. 14 more weeks, and at least 1.3 ppg incoming (his Watford PPG + our better squad). I think 40 points achievable although 35-36 may be enough to avoid the drop.

Everton have just 6 games at home from 14 remaining with city, spurs, Newcastle amongst the 6. Bournemouth last match at home could be a crunch decider.

I think everyone's strength of schedule is pretty close. Can't see more than 4 wins (at a push) for any of the bottom 8 on paper. Whoever wins 4 beats the drop.

Well we've already matched last season's home win tally of 4. We need a couple more away wins, with just 1 so far. If we get another 3 home wins, I think we'll be safe. Just don't want it going to last game again. I don't think we'd handle the pressure at ER needing a result.

Our remaining games are:

Home - Forest, Palace, Leicester, Brighton, Liverpool, Newcastle, Spurs, City. Can pick up 2-3 wins and 2-3 draws so anything from 8 to 12 points.
Away - Bournemouth, West Ham, Wolves, Fulham, Chelsea, Arsenal. 1-2 wins and 1-2 draws possible. So nothing from 5-8 points.

We will finish with minimum 35 points, could get up to 42 ish if we play according to our squad’s capability and Rodrigo and Sinisterra come back and finish strong.
I think 35 could beat the top, albeit it will be nervy and end of day stuff.

Please no.

I don’t think I could take that again.

8 home games left, 5 against top half. We play wolves, spam & Bournemouth away which is not good.
