I was just going to post what the thoughts on required points for safety - think 37 a fair estimate/assumption- given how tight things are and having just looked at the respective run ins of those below us. Personally I think we need 9 points - so 3 wins from 9 games - which given our run in which on paper is by far the easier than any of those below us should be “comfortably”achievable. On that basis Mateta’s last minute winner could prove a pivotal moment in our season..!! But we are Palace - so anticipating a few “twists and turns” along the way..!! COYP More "Twists and turns" than on the Isle of Man TT course.

I really hope Everton are one of them, partly because they have the most entitled fans in the league and partly because they are in a total mess with their finances and FFP and according to some reports there’s a good chance they will go out of business if they’re relegated. Maybe if one the ‘big’ clubs goes to the wall then the league might start to take club funding seriously.

The only side really looking in trouble are Southampton, then Leicester I guess. Bournemouth seem to be able to win now. Leeds don't seem that bad. West Ham seem slightly too good to go down. Forest are dodgy enough. At the beginning of the season I had a feeling we might be 17th. I guess I might not be far off. I have us to get 5/6 points from the next five games. Higher than that and I'm thinking we would have to collapse entirely to get relegated.

Higher than that and I'm thinking we would have to collapse entirely to get relegated. I can't see 41/42 points with someone going down. The 9 teams in trouble (and I include us) have to play each other, therefore 3 or 4 points must be lost in each of those games. If one team wins, 3 are lost, if its a draw 4. There are 88 games left for those 9 teams. There are 15 relegation dog fights. That's 30 of those games. That's a min of 45 points lost, and up to 60 if they are all draws (unlikely). Another 27 games are V top sides fighting to win the league or battling for a champions league place or Europe. That only leaves 31 games V mid table sides and they are not easy as some of those are also battling for Europe. (Chelsea are now a mid table side). I'm predicting a range of 31 to 37 for two of the relegated sides, with a median of 34 and possibly 3 to 5 points between 7 of those sides.

So, we started the weekend fixtures 4 points above the relegation places. We end the weekend... 4 points above the relegation places.

Yesterday’s 3 points were crucial but just as important, if not more so, was the manner of the win. Palace played with confidence and - for the first time this season that I’ve seen - seemed to want to score. They still need to work on converting chances into goals but 3 points and a strong performance was just what was needed… (Yes, I know this is Palace so expect the roller coaster 😀
