The Relegation Dogfight 23/24

More than happy with today's results

Not worried in the slightest about Burnley scraping a point against a dreadful Man U

Much tougher tests for them against Newcastle and Spurs still fighting for European places

They've hit a bit of form but I think they've probably left it too late

Let's hope so. You've been right about Luton so far, fingers crossed you have Burnley's number too mate.

The Burnley result is definitely a fly in the ointment, but Luton losing is at least a bit of relief.

Burnley's form though is pretty good for a relegation battling side. 2 Wins, 5 draws, and only 1 defeat in the last 8.....11 pts from 24.

That's worrying. Proper feel like that last day is gonna be huge.

I can see them maybe getting a point against Newcastle at home at best but I think Spurs will beat them - that means we need to beat either Sheff Utd or Chelsea - to make sure we are 4 points clear of them before we play them.Ideally we get a point or 2 back on appeal makes life easier for us. I mean all 4 would be great.

But they are the form team.

As sad as it sounds if you offered me a 2 goal defeat tomorrow right now I would take it. GD could be a factor right now we are 14 and 11 better off than Burnley and Luton if we can keep that at 8-10 clear it would be like an extra point.

EM most be kicking himself if it was not for FFP we would be 5 points and 6 points and a way better GD clear.

I reckon 30 points (a win and a draw) gives us a good chance.
Even a point back from the appeal would be massive now.

We’re definitely not getting anything back Norm. They want us gone if at all possible. It’s the only reason I want to stay in this rat infested league.

We're absolutely awful away, have been for two seasons. How can anybody seriously assume we'll win at a Sheff Utd who will have nothing to play for but vindictiveness?

I don't think anyone is assuming we'll win, but let's be honest Sheffield Utd are utter shite and it's our most winnable away game of the season

You'd hope that even given our terrible away form Forest have the quality to get a win there

I'd rather be playing them away than, say, Bournemouth at home

Burnley are slightly ahead of us on form, 7 Pts from 6 games. Ours is 5pts from 5, probably 6 by tomorrow.

I can’t see goal difference working adversely against Forest (even if we lose by more than
2 goals tomorrow).
We can’t afford to write the City game off.

Get a point back on appeal and beat Sheff Utd and Burnley aren't catching us.

Would also put ensure we go into final two games at minimum two points clear of Luton, probably more.

If it goes to the last day you just know Muric will play a blinder.

He'll probably score the winner for them too.

They've been playing pretty decent football all season but not getting the results, i really don't like them but Kompany has done a really decent job and they'll be backing themselves if its a shoot out going into the last game.. We need to do somethign crazy like get a point tomorrow..
