Our 2016 statistics are pretty depressing I'll admit but as other posters have pointed out it's irrelevant. The season doesn't start on Jan 1st and end on Dec 31st. We're not Man Utd or Chelsea we're Crystal Palace and lost our last three games to teams that are very likely to finish above us, one of whom are the league champions. We're doing OK so far and people need to stop worrying. Try being a Sunderland fan.

... but unfortunately very similar results, despite vast sums being spent in the summer on 'upgrading the squad'. We have beaten Boro, Sunderland and Stoke - hardly cause for optimism. More significantly we have conceded first in 8 of our 10 league games. We can't keep doing that - AP has to get the team selection and tactics right in the first half. Vast? Maybe bigger wage bill but surely our upgrade was canny more than anything else? I don't have stats on our lack of goals during that dire period but we are scoring now. Furthermore, Benteke should have scored several since his last. We are also playing better football, in my subjective opinion. Once Punch got injured last season we were completely disjointed it was desperate stuff. You can't complain about our current overall play and that game on Saturday - we could have had 2 pens. I thought we have them a game. Didn't you? I reckon our defence would be much better with Pape playing and had Dann not been injured. Seems like this criticism of Pardew is harsh on our CURRENT form.

With Burnley, Man City and Swansea next up we need at least six points from these matches, lets see what happens!

Nobody will expect us to get anything from Man C but there will be expectation that we can get something from Burnley and Swansea. Just thinking that IF we lose against Burnley and then against Man C (Expected) that will be 5 straight defeats and this will be a cause for real concern. Included amongst the next 7 games are matches against Man C, Man Utd, Southampton and Chelsea - very tough indeed ! Edited by Willo (03 Nov 2016 10.03am)

that means we will need 29 points from the next 19, just over 1.5 per game.....?

Pardew needs to go...probably needed to go last season but fair play to SP he has let him spend big...trouble is we look no better. And his record is appalling Edited by The Sash (05 Nov 2016 3.21pm)

Hate to say this, but Pardew has to get his P45. I'm past beyond the point of caring for his excuses, if he has any after today. Edited by Alexi_the_Eagle (05 Nov 2016 3.35pm)
