We never expected anything from these 3 games and Utd have won 4 of there 6 games 4-0 whilst City had scored something like 20 goals in 4 games so not really what pundits/fans really expected. Keep the faith and be positive. The difference being that Tony Pulis won't be turning up this time. What new striker? Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

Originally posted by jeeagles By all accounts the shape looked a lot better today and the effort was good. With Benteke, Zaha, Dann, Tompkins, Souare, Wickham, Loftus-Cheek and FM unavailable we didn't stand a chance. When they all return it will be like having a new squad and will give everyone a lift. I just washed a very positive FYP reaction. Imagine if it was Arsenal Fan TV. If you like having meltdowns they would welcome you with open arms. In the next few games as fans all we can do is be as raucous as possible. Support our own team, and make the opposition wish they weren't there. I think your first paragraph applies prior to the second goal, after that it looked like the team didn't put as much effort in. Also I thought we were sloppy defensively for all the goals. Non of their goals was particularly good except for the 1st perhaps. Cut out the bad defensive mistakes and I think we've got a good shot at staying up.

Our present squad on paper looks better but I worry whether we have enough grafters in the current crop to do similar.

Originally posted by Pete53 My worry is that we will flirt with relegation once too often. We may have got away with it before but that makes it all the more likely that some time soon we'll trip up. Along with a few others I've been saying this every summer. I know dannyh says the same. Last summer we spent £10 mil net and then spent the rest we should've done in January, only a lot more than we may have done if we'd just done it in the summer. This time we leave the striker too late after extending contracts on a couple of pony defenders and still have the £10 mil plus unused without scoring a goal. COYP

Originally posted by bexleydave The difference being that Tony Pulis won't be turning up this time. What new striker? I think he means Gillardino the Italian free agent that is in talks. Cant really expect too much from him to start with but if he knows how to hold a strikers position we'll be more of a threat even if he himself doesn't score. The midfield will obviously be freed up to play the roles they are more familiar with. I don't think Hodgson will do a bad job once the players are back from injury and we are competing in winnable games. Incredibly we are still only 5 points from safety. I did not think that would be the case going into the Chelsea game.

Originally posted by Rudi Hedman Who's the new striker going to be after Chelsea? Does it really matter? We will probably- certainly some may say - loose to Chelsea with or without a CF. Its the following games that we need a full, fit squad.

I like the optimism about the comparison to 2013, but you're missing one vital point - we'd just recruited the best manager we'd had since Coppell. If Hodgson had been signed in the summer we'd be doing much better now, but he's not the guy to get a team going that's really struggling. Parish should say why De Boer was the better bet for him then. Anyway, Newcastle did it, Sunderland did it and now we're doing it. If you flirt with relegation for too many seasons sooner or later it'll fvck you. You'll be forever in my family's memories and it was an honor and privilege to play and lead in the red and blue Yours sincerely Mile Jedinak

01CPFC central coast NSW (The Mariners Mi... 01 Oct 17 10.49pm
The one major problem we have in our quest for safety is our abysmal home form, which continues and continues to be pathetic. Unless we can improve and make Selhurst a fortress, we are doomed. Over past years our home form has been similar to relegated teams,our saviour being our fantastic away form. I don't think our home form will improve to a standard where we are confident of beating any of the bottom half of the table. Our away form 0 from 4, minus 11 goals is nowhere near what we have achieved in the past especially against the top sides. My estimation, because of our home form we will probably be doomed to relegation I hope not, time will tell COYP Where is the Joker shown, I haven't used it ?
