I might be proved wrong come May next year but as a Leeds fan I don't think we'll be in a relegation scrap this season.
Ok, after 11 games I'd like to revise my opinion! We're worse off in terms of points than we were this time last season despite having had an arguably easier set of fixtures than we had in the first 11 games of 2021/22; worse, some of the performances have been truly awful and the table doesn't lie. Therefore, unless things change at Elland Road I now think we're very likely to be in a relegation scrap and could easily end-up back in the Championship next season - at the moment it doesn't look like there are 3 teams in the division who are worse than us.Pitre said:

You're not wrong. 2 Probably the best run-in of games of any of the teams around them......as long as you win some of them of course!!

Seems we're going right under the radar.
Said since last summer, we're going down (thankfully got decent odds on it).
Only way that changes is if Rodgers goes in the next 2 weeks, only chance we have.
I think come last day of the season, GD might be the deciding factor, and you, Leeds and West Ham, at the moment are in the best place as regards that with a 10-15 goal advantage over the other teams.Said since last summer, we're going down (thankfully got decent odds on it).

On that basis, Southampton, Bournemouth, Everton & Forest still look in the most trouble as the point difference between all teams gets so narrow.

Palace will get wins in half those 6 pointers and be ok.
Without wishing to tempt fate, are you sure? They haven't had a shot on target in a month of sundays, Southampton have notched up some decent results as have Bournemouth and Everton, Leeds know where the back of the net is as well. Fast Bug said:

Good chance of winning their home games. Especially with West Ham with one away win all season.
Southampton (H to Brentford) and Palace (A at Brighton) both losing tonight.
Struck me that Villa (in 11th with 35 pts) are the only mid table club this season (*). The rest are in the mix for the title, Champions League, Uefa, Uefa conference, or relegation
(*) Ordinarily you might include them in the race for 7th. But given the quality above them and the points gap, I won't

I think Palace appointing Hodgson again probably proves that Viera was got rid off for sacking that guy who Parish appointed, and who was then re-appointed after Viera was shown the door (as they clearly didn't have anyone lined up and it was a political decision more than a football one)

A weird (re-)appointment. Leeds fan so I'm eternally optimistic but I think the three will be Southampton, Bournemouth and one of Forest or Everton.
Leicester, Forest and Palace are the 3 worse teams on current form of the bottom 9......But Palace and Forest still have a small points advantage, but with only 4 points between the 9 teams, that's as good as meaningless now, as we saw from Leeds win, pushing them up 3 or 4 places.
I still think it could be decided on GD come last day of season.
Palace vs. LCFC at the weekend, the winner of that stays up the loser goes down?
If we lose I can't see how we can stay up, point is worst case scenario.
Glad I'm out on the piss instead of going, cheers rail strikes!
EDIT: Next weekend sorry, international break.
