Looking favorites for the big drop. Dyche has implied no signings and no confidence. It’s not looking good. Interesting how well Watford are doing under Pearson

You can get 4/1 on Burnley bring relegated so fill your boots if you think they are going down .

I was thinking the same thing. The bookies seem to think Villa will go down which I can't see at all.

And not sure how on Earth that Watford are favourites to go down ahead of us. I think they'll be mid-table and be comfortable.

Long way to go yet but I expect it to go to the wire.

Watford’s first eleven is class, and now they have a decent manager so there’s no chance they are getting relegated.

Drink water making debut for Villa today. That will be an interesting watch !!!

Us Norwich Villa for me, Bournemouth have enough attacking quality and with Ake now back, they should be fine when King and Brooks return.

On current form these 3 are by far the worst 3 teams. Our loss to Villa was massive both in terms of points and confidence.

I wouldn’t rule Brighton out of it.

Bournemouth have 3 massive games coming up which will define their season. I am struggling to find where our points will come from. Let’s see where we are after the next 3

Leicester next game UTC

I think we will probably be in the bottom three going into the international break although Leicester have hit a bit of a sticky patch so we may have an outside chance against them at home next week. Even if we play brilliantly against Arsenal they will still beat us with some dodgy VAR decision in the 97th minute.

I don't see why Villa could be described as far better than us on current form. Obviously they beat us in that one game, but apart from that you can only be basing their good current form on a 1-0 win at home to Norwich; and I don't see beating Norwich 1-0 as a sign of wonder and delight.

Newcastle and Brighton are both in worse form than us over the last six games.

Some massive games next weekend. Brighton at home to Villa and Norwich home to Bournemouth.

So if you were Chairman what would you do
A. Change nothing
B. Change the manager
C. Bring in new players
D. If yes to C how much budget would you give Dyche/ Rigg ?

And the return of Deeney. Cojones. Something we haven't got.

Villa are horrendous. Phew!

That's cos we don't sign foreign players. Whereas Watford are quite happy to bring in Cojones.

You can’t argue with that 3 for relegation at the minute. If we don’t sign at least a midfielder this window some serious questions need answering from the board. I really really do understand the need to key the club on an even keel but not giving Dyche et al a fighting chance of survival is criminal and boarding on neglect for the running of the club. This midfield would struggle in the championship.

Me neither.

Sounds like the only thing missing from this thread is a rope ...

And, strangely enough, the bookies - who are pretty good at this kind of malarkey - do not see us as third favourites to go down.

Do people actually realise that if it looks like a team is going down, they'll more than likely sack the manager?

Especially when they sell Dunk!
