Well written and quite correct. I for one am appreciating Roy far more than I expected. Originally posted by Headbert
18 points for half this season is a miracle given the first quarter. If 36 points means safety, then we only need to have the same performance to be safe. But we are on the 'up' and getting stronger when others are on a downslide. Thankfully Pardew has gone to WBA and I think his pretence of being a manager is finally at an end - I don't think the WBA players are buying into his usual role as 'genius saviour'. Swansea got rid of too many key players and didn't replace them, so they deserve, and deep down would feel to deserve, to go down. That leave 8 teams with only a win (3 points) between them to fight to avoid 18th place on the table. Our current last quarter season's form exceeds these by a healthy margin (I guess). West Ham are showing some spark, but might go backwards. Stoke look dodgy too. We could possibly go on a bad run, but Roy is continually steadying things and creating a trend and culture that is causing belief. This is not the Palace of 9 weeks ago, that would have capitulated when Swansea got their late equaliser and burst of form. Speroni (and I think Hennessey too) appear to be back to their best form. Even Kelly is looking sharp, Ward too, and the defence looks confident and organised without relying on Sahko - a huge advancement. Ironically, keeping things simple, going back to what each player does best in their best positions, we are arguably playing the attractive type of football that Pardew and FDB wanted, creating slick moves through the middle. Who'd of said 9 weeks ago that we could possibly survive even with no additions in the January window? No, this glass is definitely half full. I just hope that Parish keeps his hands of the wheel this January. Merry Christmas!

I thought we'd already had a pretty good demonstration. Hardly as he'd only been their manager for ten minutes

Pards has made one hell of a difference getting 2 points for the Baggies in 5 games with a return worse than Pulis who was sacked.Just where has his famous initial magic gone ??? Keep up the good work AP,your team look good to occupy one of the bottom 3 spots.

Get the feeling that WBA will actually win this one by a narrow margin with Rondon on the scoresheet.

Respect to Swansea - they came back strong, but we held our own. We are difficult to play now, there's a belief. Merry Xmas!

You can. It's illegal though and only £13 a month or there's one for £50 a year but the quality on that site isn't as good through kodi as it is directly to computer. Setv.com
