Relegation Watch

[frank black]

This season may not be completed if Covid-19 develops as it appears to be. The Swiss football season has already been suspended.....

Which should mean no promotions or relegations this season.😂😂😂

First team to come to mind for some reason after this comment wasn’t us. It was Leeds, after they finally look like promotion certainties 😂

Ironic that a recurring problem in recent years has been too many draws and we may get relegated because we didn’t get enough of the buggers.

Fat Sam went for my picks Norwich, Brighton and Bournemouth hope he's right.

Oh really? Where was this?

On the after game show on beinsports, he talked about the teams facing relegation and said it was crazy for teams fighting to stay up to play out from the back as it put too much pressure on defenders and said if the ball is in the opposition half there is no danger.

Thanks for that.

I said something similar about the Engels mistake against Spurs and some didn't take too kindly!

More seriously, I agree, safety first should be the mantra when in our position.Grind out some points.

When McGinn returns we'll be stronger than we've been at any other point of the season.

What did Engels mistake against Spurs had to do with playing out from the back?

[Scovilla]

When McGinn returns we'll be stronger than we've been at any other point of the season.

When is he expected to return?

Another 2 weeks away.

Because he tried to trap a ball out of the sky instead of giving it a great big welly back from whence it came?

I know it was gutting losing the cup final, but in a cruel way it’s given me a bit of belief now that we can stop up. Honestly expected to get annihilated in the final, but we dug in and could’ve easily taken it to extra time, but for the tip onto the post. Game on after that. Hopefully it gives the whole squad and management the belief we can do it (if they ever lacked it).

The report I saw said if they decide to cancel the three in the bottom three at the time will down.  Just our luck that we've hovered above it for weeks but are now in it!!

Here's an article that paints the (rather obvious) picture for us.

They have 2 choices , cancel the season or complete the season.
If they arbitrarily relegated teams without completing the season they would be subject to massive law suits.

That would be arbitrary.

The criteria should be:-

First, any teams with a German manager/head coach.

If that does not fill all of the relegation places, next any team holding the registration of a player named Troy Deeney.

But we have a game in hand...that would be unfair.
