Our squad could do with a season without having the most injuries in the division.
Being in Europe doesn't seem to be a factor in that.
[Albion] Can we forget the Champions League now?

Not to us - we needed to beat City for that.
I’ll take another sequence of six wins and a draw though…
There is no chance of that happening FFS.
If we finish 3rd then I'll give you TWENTY FIVE PEE.
It's a fair point
If we’re the PL injuries champions this season, anyone here know how we stood in 2023/24 in that respect? From memory it was devastating, especially to likely first teamers.

but, but all our games are winnable....
And the Fishy super computer says we could....
And Leicester haven't scored a goal or won a pt for 8 matches
And we always beat West Ham and Wolves
And....
Ok yeah, I'm not going to take your bet.

We were pretty bad but not the worst - The issue was we hadn't replaced the players we'd lost, which made the injuries more impactful.

Nah, it's over for this season.
Injuries, inconsistent form and performances, and our usual struggles to beat teams in the bottom 10, have combined to destroy the dream.
We're simply not quite good enough. A 9th or 10th place finish would be just about right for a team "of our levels. These are a tough league".

That'll change on Saturday, given how shite we usually are against struggling teams!

Yeah that's the stat that saw off any hope for me.
Shirley we won’t fail to beat at home all 3 of the worst relegated trio in PL history? 
Not another unwelcome record in the record breaking season @Guinness Boy referred to.
Laying an Albion win on Betfair at 1.31 ….. £15.50 makes £50. We need Van Nistelrooy to stay one more week.

Yep, but Europe is only going to increase chance of further injuries...

None. The injuries vs Forest were body blows. The defeat to Villa ended it.

It's interesting how different media outlets report on this.
Yesterday I heard one Podcast state that CL was a possibility all the way down to Palace, and another report that the top 7 were done and dusted.

The 59 points one really stands out but based on that we're little or no chance.

All teams can probably say this though.
Palace bang on about their terrible start.
They drew with leicester and Wolves and lost to Everton, too

Fulham are above us now but they allowed Utd to do the double over them; drew at home to Southampton; drew home and away with Ipswich; and were thumped at home by Wolves. Quite a few dropped points there
