Wow! Comprehensive summary Alf, not absolutely certain what it tells us, other than Bielsa was a brilliant coach for us and Jesse has done pretty well since joining us, but thanks all the same.

We definitely need JM to be better than MB in next 5 matches or we are likely in the doodoo
MB games
Leeds 2 vs Brentford 2 ( slightly lucky point in the end last minute equalizer )
Brighton 0 -0 ( incredibly fortunate point . Leeds were absolutely awful and very lucky Brighton missed so many chances could have been 6 nil )
Citeh 7 vs Leeds 0 ( enough said)
Leeds 1 vs Arsenal 4 ( enough said ) .
Chelski 3 vs Leeds 2 ( deserved to perhaps win so a tad unlucky and also a tad stupid in this match giving away 2 needless penalties )
Goals scored 5
Goals conceded 16
Points accumulated 2.

leodis I have to agree it hard to see where the points will come from looking at our games, when you see what they have bought in CP looked a better team all round we needed investment and didn’t get it, why we have to look abroad when you see other clubs, like the above and Newcastle I believe is a big problem not sure how 49 will handle us going down should it come to that it it happens I can’t see us doing a Fulham 🤞anyway and ðŸ™it don’t happen.

IF and i don't think we will go down, i feel we will be in a better place than last time.
We could offload Koch, Lorente, Rodrigo as i doubt they would play championship football.
We will lose money on these 3, Raphinia obviously and maybe KP, i think Southgate would still pick a championship player IMO, sprinkle in the youth plus experience of Cooper, ayling, dallas, add a few loans plus parachute payments so we would have a good championship team, good manager, but yes 49ers wouldn't be happy
Hopefully this means nothing as we will stay up.

Got to agree with you Rich it would be a bitter pill to swallow but if R does happen we are in a strong position to bounce back with very little outlay.

49ers would probably be pretty happy as the purchase price would drop significantly. Would be interesting ro see us in a Champ next season tk see how our young players get on.

I may well accept 2 points from the remaining 5 games if I was given the chance right now.

2 points would likely not be enough ; I would take 5 points but hoping for at least 6 points.
