Won't be the 10 games some pundits are calling for but will be more than 3 I was spot on then. More than 3, less than 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that all the teams at the bottom, bar West Ham, have played the same number of games, our position is no longer reliant on others. If we season ended today, we'd be safe. Dyche has done an amazing job in a short space of time. A draw against United is certainly possible. I think three wins and two draws (38) will keep us up now.Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall Writer Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I just don't see us going down any more. Yes there's still games to play, but we are not the same team we were 2-3 months ago. The mentality has completely changed. We no longer are a team that gives up easily. We are a long way from the finished article, but it has been clear that we are actually being competitive in games. If we keep that up, we'll be fine. Romey 1878 and Wiggytop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Iāve said it elsewhere, the resilience Dyche has instilled in such a short time is nothing Ā short of miraculous given his starting point, and think we will be ok, hopefully well before the final day, teams will be looking at us and thinking ā they will get a result somehowā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football as expected is nothing spectacular, however we press the ball a lot higher and more often than I thought we would. It's amazing what a small shift in mentality can do. If we stay up, I'm actually looking forward to seeing the transition next season. I think if we would have got Dyche in after Carlo left this season we would be battling up there with Brighton, Newcastle and Brentford etc. I'd say I'm looking forward to the next window too to see who we bring in, but I doubt we will spend any money with the ongoing investigation. I wonder if Dyche is eyeing up Weghortst on a free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His appointment just fractured a already delicate situation at this club. Still suffering the fallout of that decision, and could still get worse. Who'd know where we would have been if we'd have gone for a Dyche or Howe type in the summer of 2021.

RuffRob Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I think we are going to need at least one away win - at either Palace, Brighton, Leicester or Wolves.Ā Given the current table - I guess perfect team to beat away now would be Leicester, as it has 6 pointer written all over it.Ā AlbanyNYToffee and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I will also have my finger crossed that Man City get in to the CL semi final - 1st Leg on 9th May and second on 16th May, and we play them at home on 13th May.Ā If City don't beat Arsenal on 26th April - then the Premiership may be beyond them by the time they play us in the league.Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Forest have a tough tough ask, Southampton look to have left themselves a lot to do. Bournemouth are the ones who we need to have a bad run and hopefully that should make it less pressure for us fans to endure. Yes I know itās in our hands but the amount we need to do is dependent on others. if you look at Villa it shows how a few wins gets the team playing with freedom, ideally we need to be safe as soon as possible so dyche can start to experiment with the squad to prepare for next season.

Emm - Fulham, Newcastle, City and Bournemouth.Ā Newcastle and City going to be tricky as both could be playing for CL and Championship respectively and Bournemouth also likely to be playing to survive in that game as well.
