Yes it looks as if safety is only a point or two away, and may already have been achieved. Similar to last season when I seem to remember the win against Brighton gave us a points total that would eventually not be superceded by any of the bottom three.Then there were still 10 or so games to play just as there are now.

I have to say I am glad there is a three week gap until the next game.I am finding it very hard watching us at the moment. Perhaps our players will come back refreshed and, with safety close to being assured, play with a little more freedom and adventure. And, hopefully, there will be no repeat of the tail end of last season.

It’s not. It’s about enjoyment, pride and being part of the club. We’ve become a nothing team with no identity and are just making up the numbers.

My bet is that if Roy remains next season there will be a lot of empty seats at Selhurst Park. The life has been sucked out of us and we have nothing to offer without Zaha. We just hang in for dear life every game in the hope we might nick a goal, which amazingly we’ve been doing recently.

And here in lies why we're such a tin pot set of supporters,

am I wrong?

I'm intrigued by these posts confidently predicting swathes of empty seats if Roy stays. On what exactly is this opinion based? We've been sold out nearly every week since promotion quite regardless of the teams tactics, performances or results. I can't recall supporters ever staying away in protest before, and Christ knows there have been plenty of opportunities.

What I think is more likely is that regardless of whether Roy remains, supporters will queue up to fill the ground, having missed live football and the matchday routine terribly. Then, either the performances will improve (maybe because of a couple of new players, or even just because of a crowd being there) or we will continue to play poorly but vaguely effectively, but the frustrations of supporters, to the extent that they remain, will be voiced. That might or might not affect Roy's position, but that's a very different thing to swathes of empty seats.
