West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[goose]

Nearly a second for Everton. They didn’t look ever scoring one so two would be a massive shock.

[stubbo-admin]

It's some what typical that the season we choose to go to real shit, so does the top 4, whilst the teams that come up display a strong degree of competence.

Looking like a 40+ points to stay up season...much higher than in recent times.

At this point it's somewhat pointless looking at other teams results....we need to pick the games that get us to ~37-38 points, and then hope Leeds are either 17th and catchable, or totally out of it by the last day.

• Chelsea (A) - 0
• Burnley (A) - 3
• Man Utd (H) - 0
• Bournemouth (H) - 3
• Liverpool (A) - 0
• Fulham (A) - 1
• Man City (H) - 0
• Aston Villa (A) - 0
• Wolves (H) - 3
• Palace (A) - 3
• Everton (H) - 3
• Brentford (A) - 1
• Arsenal (H) - 0
• Newcastle (A) - 0
• Leeds (H) - 3

That's my prediction for how we can make it to the 40 points mark.  I reckon there's a good chance we'll need 41 or even 42 this season though.

That Brentford, Leeds, and Wolves game are going to relegate us.  The only hope is we've scored first A LOT.  14 points lost from winning positions, means we are getting ourselves into winning positions.  If that continues we've a chance at least.

15 games to attack and try and find 6 wins, and hope to sneak a couple of draws along the way.  Hopefully the injection of the Paco cսnt instills the attitude to go for it.

Come on.

1-1 TOFFEES 

[onsideman]

Thank fuck for that

[onsideman]

It was all about Grealish for them. Without him they're dire

[Hermit Road]

Everton look terrible. They'll be flirting with relegation next season 

[Alfs]

Leeds will be fine.  It's between us, Forest and Palace, IMO.

[Tomshardware]

Lucky it's only 1-0,  Everton must surely be better in 2nd half.  Draw wouldn't be a disaster, yes I'm clutching at straws.

[Sir Alf]

Leeds should be 2 or 3 up.  Everton second to everything and look slow and lethargic as we often did under Moyes. Been struggling at the new stadium.

Leeds have been looking good for a while so we aint catching them. Forest look a tough nut defensively yesterday. We are gonna need to win half our remaining games. Cant see it happening because outside a decent first 11, our squad is painfully weak and Sullivan foimg nothing about it.  

Despite a couple of wins nothing much has changed. It just seems those wins are to make relegation as slow and painful as possible

 

[fraser]

Yep we're destined and we deserve it.. 

[Tomshardware]

That's one of the worst halves I've seen from any team this season

Agreed, how the hell did they beat Aston Villa? 

[onsideman]

That's one of the worst halves I've seen from any team this season

[Sir Alf]

An injury to one or more from Todibo, Mavro, Fernandes, Bowen or Summerville and we are probably cooked anyway. No cover for them in our squad

[pdcwhu]

Cop on lads long way to go

[Sir Alf]

As sad, destined to go down it seems. “Our turn” in the words of Terrence Brown.  

Leeds pace and sharpness, attacking at every opportunity has really changed their season. Hats off to Farke but its fvcked us over. 8 points to Palace and Spurs, they are the only teams that currently look dodgy. 8’points is really 9. Its too many points to make up imo.

Everton aint getting back into this and Moyes low block tactics always best suited to away games.  

[Massive Attack]

We’re fucking cursed.

Having said that, going 10 games without a win does make life very difficult for yourself.

That's the crux of it. Our own fault for being in the position we are in. Horrific form.

[Eerie Decent]

We're just destined to go down.

Not attacking that Fulham game at home was our death knell. We can blame luck all we want, but if you don't try and win home games like that, you deserve to go down.

[Sir Alf]

Everton tactics unable to deal with the Leeds wing backs. Classic Moyes side has no pace. Leeds quicker all over the park.

We’re fucking cursed.

[Tomshardware]

Everton have been . 

[Sir Alf]

Deserved for Leeds.

No teams gonna do us a favour. Just feels like nothing going our way this season. 

[onsideman]

That's been coming

[onsideman]

Everton have been absolute gash for the first 20 minutes. Lucky to still be level

[Massive Attack]

I'm thinking it'll be a draw.
