As posted elsewhere earlier I never expected us to get more than 37 points and that is still what I think. Burnley and Hull at home are massive - lose them and we will be in trouble. Any other points from the top 5 teams that we still have to play would be an absolute bonus. Who says we cannot beat Leicester - they have to lose some time as well and we are between their two Madrid games? Boro and Sunderland are as good as down. Swansea are a real danger as they have a number of winnable games and I see them finishing above us - the majority of their games are not against the likes of Spurs. Hull as well as playing us could get another 7 points which with their goal difference keeps us up if we do what we have to do. It will be very tight and will likely hinge on us beating Hull at home (assuming we do Burnley as well). Squeaky bum time all the way now and we desperately need McArthur and Tomkins back asap. Will we do it - who knows. Edited by The Dolphin (06 Apr 2017 8.47am) Edited by The Dolphin (06 Apr 2017 8.48am) Edited by The Dolphin (06 Apr 2017 8.48am)

Originally posted by jeeagles After Sunderland we looked like we would finish rock bottom. At least we've given ourselves a fighting chance but survival is still a huge task. I think we still need 4 points from the next 4. Agree. My view was, before the Chelsea game, if we were still out of the bottom 3 after Arsenal that would be OK, and given the difficulty of the fixtures and those of the teams around us that it would actually be more than OK. We now definitely will be out of the relegation zone after playing Arsenal, even if only on goal difference. Our games after Arsenal for the rest of April are all games we can get points from, even Spurs at home as they might go all Spursy (they must at some point surely?). We've also only got 1 more away game this month, which is positive in spite of our Home form since Pardew.

Originally posted by Sportyteacher If only we could grab wins against Burnley and Hull and 'park the bus' at other matches then that should keep us safe. The disappointing feature to last night's game at Southampton was having taken the lead and then conceding and at least not managing a draw and a valuable away point. This post sums up my disappointment; the inability to grind out a draw against a depleted, out of form Southampton. Bournemouth seemed to manage it a few days earlier and then followed it up with the same at Anfield. But then we don't really 'do' draws do we? Imagine how the table would look now had we ground out 4 boring draws against Swansea and West Ham this season. Or even just a couple. Must stress though that I'm trying to remain positive as I believe at least a draw against Leicester is on the cards and that we are more than capable of beating Burnley and Hull at home.

Originally posted by Willo My worries are shared by many of our supporters so I am hardly alone. There are a lot of fretters in our midst. We have had our good run and with the games to come against the top teams we can hardly be expected to pick up too many points. I've been talking to lots of people from the World Of Football and they say your really Trolley. You cannot get any more Top than Chelsea Away. And we Won you got it wrong,like your refereeing posts. So I hope your wrong again and the lads create history and stay up. Palace 13th 2017/18.

Burnley and Hull at home are massive - lose them and we will be in trouble. Edited by The Dolphin (06 Apr 2017 8.48am) Definitely, the Hull game is a must not lose. Win those two, and nick a draw from the remaining games and we stay up. Ideally the target is to try to pick up six points elsewhere, so that we don't have TO WIN those games (now we have the three from Chelsea, two wins from our remaining games gives us a real chance, provided we can pick up a draw).

Originally posted by slubglurge Hull have 2 nailed on home wins with Watford and Sunderland as do Swansea with Stoke and Sunderland. We will need 40 points which will be very difficult paticularly with our injuries building up again Hull v watford is not nailed on, but likely. Swansea v Stoke is certainly not nailed on. If only it were White, rather than Yellow!

I'm scared to be honest. After four wins, we still look in trouble, and that is disheartening, We need to pull off upsets. We need to beat teams like arsenal. Because we can't count on beating teams like burnley or hull. I'm not saying we are down, we have a good team and have had a good run recently. But the sharks are circling.. I believe we can beat Arsenal if we give them hell. But we must give them hell and not anything less.
