The should have scored statistics or whatever they are called shows we are the worst in the league from failing to score from scoreable positions.. We create the opportunities but fail to convert. The law of averages says that this cannot continue so we are not down yet ! COYP

I dont think "easy " runs at the end of season can be relied upon. We wont have an easy time and those teams with "harder" end of season will make some surprise results like we did against arsenal,liverpool and chelsea. COYP

COYP On that basis we are going to do well in the next fixtures against the top sides. Either way we will get the points we need to survive , I hope ! COYP

COYP The squad is I think a bit better than last season, but still very short in numbers. Sørloth and Reiderwald are quality additions but as opposed to that Benteke was actually scoring goals last season which he obviously isn’t this season, so essentially we still have only one fit active striker and that ain’t Benteke. Add to that the number of I;juries and and the situation is very perilous. IF Benteke starts scoring goals, Sørloth strata scoring goals too, Sakho comes back in good form, and mots of all, Zaha and Schlupp come back by mid March (ish) then we have a decent chance of staying up.

The Prem is everything.

The winning run? When we beat Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal? The fixtures coming up are no worse, except Man U who we never beat. Coyp No, this time last year we had beaten West Brom 2-0 away from home with a convincing performance, with Sakho finally playing, PvA playing well, Zaha, and many others. In fact, this whole thread is pointless. If we don't beat Spurs then at that point last year we'd have more points than we do now. We're literally 2 points higher than last season, but this stage last season we couldn't stop winning, now we just can't win Edited by CPFCSwords (15 Feb 2018 5.23pm)

Lies, damn lies,..and statistics. You can state a case for every scenario. We are 1 point above the drop zone, with plenty of opportunities for CPFC to implode, or others around us to improve. We can be optimistic, negative or cautious in our assessment. Personally, I'm 5hltting myself.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

Signings were good. Sorloth so far has played his part well. But considering our squad situation. It still leaves us very short. Especially in the goalie department Personally I need to see them all play for the Palace for a few games.

This place has gone a bit mental after last weekend. Did those who seem to think we are now definitely doomed really think we wouldn't lose another game and that the teams below us wouldn't win another? I am still worried about our survival prospects but this volte face is totally mental. We have lost 3 games in, like, an age and 2 were against Arsenal. Our squad situation is frankly extraordinary but I really don't see why we are SUDDENLY so s***. I had expected us to go down after the first 6/7 games so the fact we're in with a fighting chance now is pleasing to me. It is our s*** start that has meant we're not upper-midtable but you seriously cannot react so flippantly to each result/weekend of results. We will likely end up in the relegation zone again before the end of the season but keep your cool!
