It all hangs on keeping Zaha. If he stays then I can see a push for the top 10, if he leaves then it will be a scrap to avoid the drop.
The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years |

Survival without the stress. A season of mid-table anonymity whilst the team is molded into Roy's vision of what we should be. Anything else is a bonus.
Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five! |

As we are at the moment I'd say we will finish 14th to 11th. If Benteke can shake off his nightmare last season and be the player we know he can. If Meyer is as good as he hopes he is and we bring in a couple more players (one a winger/striker) to give us a bit more of a stronger squad We can break into the top 10 without our regular flirt with relegation.

Expectations for me are split in two. No injuries we should be aiming top half. Injuries like last season, we should be aiming for survival. We have a very good first team, we have little depth outside of it. It all hinges on how many games we can field the majority of our first team.

Players like Gueye and Gundogan will accept being outside of top 11 because they will get opportunities and plenty of money. We cannot afford the likes of Bolasie on 85k as impact subs, if fit. I'd say our depth - given a couple of shrewd loans - will be as good as we've had since we have been back in the PL. Edited by pssguy (06 Aug 2018 2.12pm) Edited by pssguy (06 Aug 2018 2.14pm)

If Wilf stays and our players fulfill their potential it will be top half for sure and maybe top 8 - and I am never this bullish normally!!

I’d be disappointed if we didn’t win the league and cup double.
