Taken from Football365, I couldn't agree more. "If losing to Chelsea was a crime then the prisons would be full, but there is an inevitability to Crystal Palace’s defeats. A large percentage of supporters have begun to accept an impending relegation battle that simply should never be on the cards for a club with these resources. Here’s an experiment: Write out Burnley, Hull, Swansea and Sunderland’s teams on a piece of paper, and then write out the one at Alan Pardew’s disposal. How many from each club get into Palace’s XI? Michael Keane and Steven Defour at Burnley, perhaps. Robert Snodgrass at Hull. Fernando Llorente and Gylfi Sigurdsson at Swansea. Jermain Defoe and Patrick van Aanholt at Sunderland. Not many more, that’s for sure. Yet these are now Palace’s direct rivals, thanks to Pardew’s under-performance. Burnley have two more points than Palace, Sunderland one less and Swansea and Hull three fewer. That should be an embarrassment for a club who bought Christian Benteke, Steve Mandanda, James Tomkins and Andros Townsend this summer. Here’s another, slightly easier, experiment: Imagine how much more Sam Allardyce, sitting in the wings coughing pointedly at opportune moments, could do with this squad. While relegation was no danger, Palace supporters could afford to turn up their noses at Allardyce’s pragmatism. With relegation a growing possibility, there is no counter-argument to the logic." ..now, have your nappy changed.

Just thought of another possible , Tomkins who just started being stand in right back. So no one else is disagreeing , the injury crisis amounts to one established regular first team player out . ..Dann who is quite an important figure in this squad is not quite performing as he was or is not having the effect on the rest of the defence he was before the injury, this is all Mr Pardews fault of course ..so he should be dragged around Selhurst Park eighteen times times by twenty three thousand antelope and then pecked for fifteen hours by one hundred parrots followed by three days in a boiling cooking pot and served up with stinging nettles, the silly b******.

Can it get any worse for us, What a patient lot we are, This really brings it home how much of a relegation fight we are in. Played League Position At the end of September we had 10 more points than Sunderland, now it's 1, so it is getting worse.

There should be no more talks of bad luck, injuries etc - 2016 is a disaster with the group of players we have. ..could not agree more, they need to stop making silly individual mistakes, I'm pleased you at long last have realised this, well done. You don't need your nappy changed.

Yep it's never Alan's fault is it? Poor Alan. When they turn up in the car park with their boots and shin pads it's up to them to be fit and keep fit all week and have tip top focus, concentration, discipline and game management. How silly of us all to think the manager takes no responsibility for 9 months of shyte with a break and even then 2 p1ss poor preparations for West Brom and West Ham. Supporting Alan's lifestyle and Palace are not mutually inclusive.

Indeed these injuries we have. Others close:- Wickham in and out on the fringes. Is that a lot ? Well, decent teams have a bench that actually allows the Manager to change tactics and try to shift games. How many other teams are featuring 2 of the development squad per game? Players we know aren't going to touch the grass. We hold on pretty well, but by the 65th minute, other teams bring on quality subs, we bring on.... Fryers? ...Campbell? ...Sako? ...Lee? Players who barely got cameos last year.

Padrew keeps saying we have 11 senior players out. Really? I can think of: Mandanda ...where did the other 6 come from?
