I think we have every reason to hope for the best but expect and prepare for the worst.

I don’t see why we can’t win all 7!! If we keep holding onto the same psyche of ‘this is Palace’ we will always strive for mediocrity. We are in a new exciting era let’s enjoy what we are seeing and feeling and expect to win games like we did during the promotion season. You never know where the attitude would take us in time.

If you said that on average we had an 50% chance of winning each game - then maybe 25% chance of drawing the game and 25% chance of losing - which seems pretty good as a Palace fan then ... The chance of winning all 7 games is 1 in 128 Not sure that really helps - could happen but isn't likely. Might be fun to get views on what the percentage of chance of winning each game is before putting any money on it! Edited by mileend (07 Nov 2021 10.12pm) Edited by mileend (07 Nov 2021 10.13pm)

Palace next 7 league games are: Burnley Away can be hard place to go but on this form Palace should be winning
Leeds Away can be a hard place to go but Palace can win also UTD Away UTD favourites but Palace can do well VS bigger sides e.g. Man City Everton (H) hard game when Everton get more of their injured players back but Palace can also win this one. Southampton (H) can play well have good players like Livramento but this is a game which Palace need to win also. Watford Away will be fighting under a new manager but Palace on their current form should get job done.
But I would take 5 wins and 2 losses or 4 wins and 3 draws. Need to get 15 points minimum but more is definitely not asking for a lot. Edited by Zaha127 (07 Nov 2021 10.51am) The way we have played, all those games are winnable. However, we are due a bad game - but teams can still win bad games too. Also other clubs may get a slice of luck. So I don't expect to win all 7, however I go expect us to put out 5 good performances, which should yield 13 points. 4 wins 1 draw 2 losses.
This was once a quality forum.... |

One of the problems we have not had to deal with yet is playing multiple games in a week. Some of the next 7 games cover the Xmas period and realistically it is going to hard for the likes of Jimmy Mac to play 2 games in a week so are going to be forced to make changes. On plus side Viera does like to use his subs and we have people like Schlup ( who was an important player for us over last few season's) Milivojevic and Olise to come in which is a massive step up from last year, when we really struggled when the games came thick and past.

Burnley will be an interesting challenge as the high press won't work and they'll really test Andersen and Guehi in the air. I expect to see Dyche deliver the biggest aerial bombardment since Dresden. It's the sort of game I could see us dominating but losing. I'm actually more confident about the other six games. Anything over 10 points would really put us in a strong position for the second half of the season.

We lost twice to Burnley last season - time for revenge in 2 weeks' time.

Anyone CAN win any game, but we shouldn't start getting carried away just yet. We've just had our first 'back to back' wins of the season, and it's highly unlikely that we will extend that to nine wins on the trot. Nine in a row would be spectacular for any team, let alone little ol' Palace. For starters, our defence is still not great at set-pieces/crosses, and teams will always have chances or half-chances against us (eg Jimenez header straight at VG on Saturday) and eventually one or two will go in to put us on the back foot. That said, I can't remember being so optimistic about Palace's fortunes for many a year. I really look forward to the next game at the moment whereas there have been many periods in the past where I've dreaded it. All of a sudden the (numerous!) international breaks come as an unwelcome interruption, whereas in the past they've tended to be seen as a welcome relief.
Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |
