Hi all Holmesdale been a member for years but never posted because of some of the ridiculous posts I've read over the years, but understand I may get burned for the post I am about to wright, I don't want to sound negative because we have improved massively since pulis took over and our performance against Man U yesterday was solid and have they have not won the penalty I do think we would of at least gained a draw, but I think I must be the only palace fan that seems to think we will still get relegated, I just look at our last few games and the only ones I can see us getting anything from is Southampton and villa which are both at home, because our away record isn't great I just can't see us taking enough points away from home to keep us up, does anyone else feel the same way and worry or are the majority positive about the remaining fixtures, I just wanted to get an idea of what other palace fans think, only I can remember back in 2005 when I thought we would stay up and got relegated last game of the season, that day still haunts me to this day ! Just wanted to get a rough Idea what fellow palace fans think ? Cheers.

Ironically, after saying that our home form would dictate if we stay up or not it is now our away form that truly matters.

If we get six more points at home out of our remaining five games that will be more than expected. That said, we are due to beat one of the big boys. I have a feeling about Liverpool. No rational reason why mind.

That said our remaining away games are all "winnable". At the same time our opponents will be describing us as "beatable" too.

Swansea, Newcastle, Sunderland, Fulham, Cardiff and West Ham. These are all crucial. I just wish some of those were at home!

Win four of those and I think we'll be safe. I really fancy our chances against all of them. We can probably still get a few points at home. I wouldn't rule out a draw or win against Southampton.

Nothing ridiculous about the post I'm simply asking what other peoples opinions are wether the majority think we will stay up or not, the ridiculous posts I talk about is the slagging off of players managers and the board, asking a question of people's opinion isn't ridiculous is it ? If you thought it was so ridiculous don't answer, and if you read it properly I stated I don't want to be negative as we have improved massively ! Just asking people's opinions if it offends don't answer SIMPLE.

I tend to agree with the original poster.

We need to start scoring goals to win games and keep us up.

I have said in the past that we could have the best striker in the world up front, but if you do not supply the crosses then he may as well not be there as he will not score.

Now Murray is back - Ince, Puncheon and Bolasie need to perform, and provide the supply that Glenn craves.

This is the key, as the defence is looking pretty solid now.

If we can create chances away at Swansea, Cardiff, Sunderland and Wet Spam we have a real chance.

A new era of total football is on the way to Selhurst Park!!

The games we should be targeting for at least a point will be Swansea, Soton, Sunderland, Cardiff, Villa, West Ham and Fulham. Out of those seven games if we can get 14 points we'll have hit the 40 total.
