Are We Going Down?

[DeesideRed]

Be plenty of them if we stay up, we go back to being run of the mill relegation fodder

With no VAR we probably win that game 2-0 yesterday.

Everybody would be saying we ain't going down and we'll batter Spurs next week.

I still dont think we will go down. Plenty twists left yet. I also think if we start taiwo every prem game till the end of the season he bags more than jesus and keeps us up, hes so unpredictable, and thats what we need. First decent offer for Jesus in the summer and id sell and replace, hes never going to be a goal scoring 9. Id like to see him in the 10 role if anything

I agree with playing more Taiwo. I still can't believe that non of our many managers have played both Taiwo and Jesus together.

Wood to return, score a couple including against Bournemouth to keep us up.

I just don't not see us creating and scoring enough chsnces to keep us up this season.

Not enough urgency about us in attack either.

My latest prediction had us going into the final game one point ahead of West Ham and level with Spurs. Leeds comfortably safe but they do have to play Spurs and West Ham still so we really need them to not get too far ahead.

That was with a draw at Spurs, win on Sunday and things will look a lot more rosey.

[DeesideRed]

I genuinely think we really need to stay up so that we can draw a line under this season.

Relegation and the analysis will be never ending.

[DeesideRed]

Stolen but worthy of a share:

We have more points at this stage of the season than we had in 22/23 or 23/24 seasons (ignoring points deduction) #nffc

Palace once finished in 11th place only having 27 points from 30 games

38 teams have stayed up from at most 29 points from 30 games.

The lowest tally at this stage of the season was Leicester in 14/15 who had just 19 points from 30 games and still survived

Only 16 teams have ever been relegated with at least 29 points from 30 games. Blackpool had 33 at this stage in 10/11 and still got relegated

Appreciate those of you trying to be optimistic.

Sorry Im going to gloomy, from the stats above fine but most years the bottom 3 are normally nailed on, in 23/24 we were miles clear of Luton, we already have 3 points more than we would have needed to stay up that season.
This year seems different, Leeds have fight if not quality, West Ham are clearly improving. Tottenham Im not sure about the fight but they do have quality. You can make a case for any of them staying up. Which leaves us.

We do have quality too though. Our central area with Sangare, Anderson and MGW is obviously highly rated and looks better since Vitor came in (well Anderson & MGW at least). Obviously got a decent defence too. We're just lacking outside of MGW in attack (and with him when he tries to shoot). 

It's frustrating to watch as every game under Vitor apart from Brighton (and Fenerbache 2nd leg), we've played well and it's felt like we could/should have won. Can't say it felt like that under Dyche when we weren't winning (or when we were). 

I am going to answer the question, I do not think we will go down.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Good on you Wassy. Whatever we feel we all need to be supportive of the team in the stadium. Thought we were yesterday but the disallowed goal killed it.

[Jimmygordon]

We are solid at the back again. Bet we stay up by beating Chelsea away. That's Forest

We have a good record at Chelsea to be fair.
