The bottom three are all showing signs of fight a determination and picking up points. We did show some fight yesterday and also at West Ham. And maybe Bournemouth are just a hot side at the moment. We could easily have beaten Everton on another day as well as Luton. What we do need is for our fortunes to change. A bit of luck can make a big difference. We have had no luck at all recently. We will stay up no problem,Injuries will abate,new signing/s loans and we are hosting Luton Sheff.U. and Burnley.

Everton who are now 3 points & an 8 goal better GD to us are away to Burnley. IF, & that's a huge IF, we play like we did y/day we could, just could give Citeh a fright, we've done it before, so, why not? I know, sorry, shouldn't be silly.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

The reality has always been that we would be in a relegation fight, than one to qualify for Europe. If we had strengthened the team / squad during the summer transfer window we wouldn’t be in this position now. I prefer the mid table boredom but would have liked a cup run and dare I say silverware to give us something for 11 seasons in the premiership. Instead we paid out money for players that aren’t deemed good enough to play in the first 11 and 19 million on a reserve keeper who’s injured. Let’s hope this upcoming window is used correctly and our injuries recover quick. I see no reason if we had been managed (Includes Parish/Freedman) better that we would be better than the Fulham’s and Bournemouth’s and challenge like Brighton for European football. It’s been a disaster this season and may just get worse :-(

Bournemouth keeper may be a good choice and a FA cup ideal

When I called the board out for their lack of ambition in the summer, there were plenty of smug fans saying they would rather be in our position than wolves or Everton, I wonder if anyone has changed their mind. This could be a masterstroke by parish, who's strung the new stand out for aslong as he can. Get relegated and it's no longer financially viable and that can be delayed another couple of years.

Three seasons ago Palace put together the best squad we have ever had in the Premier. It was inches from becoming a top ten outfit, yet it still didn’t crack top ten.

That team created chances but we squandered loads of them as good though the team was it lacked quality in the box. Now we still don’t have quality in the box but we don’t create chances anyway.

Probably because it’s not as good a team as back then .all to often this year no Olize. no Eze, But it’s much worse than that even , because there is no Wilf, and most of all no Gallagher. And may I say no Kouyate, who had a very good game for Forest this weekend. And would have been really handy to have around right now. oh! And two right backs at least two years beyond their sell by date. Edited by Putitout (10 Dec 2023 5.36pm)

The old chestnut lack of ambition, what does that mean? To achieve something. It then depends on what the ambition is, you haven't stated what the lack of ambition relates to.
