I have always had a look at peoples posts on here but have never created an account. However after reading posts and comments after the last four games I have decided to join the site and post my views on what some of our deluded fans have to say. When are some people going to realise how much we are punching above our weight this season. We are so fortunate to have been able to get Pulis in and be where we are. Wins against West Ham, Cardiff, West Brom, Stoke and Hull and suddenly people think we are world beaters. TP has worked miracles here and no wins in four and some fans think we are down and out already. Points away at Swansea and Sunderland go a long way to the 12 points Pulis said we needed from the remaining games. As for the United and Southampton games I wonder what some fans are coming to selhurst and expecting. United still have unbelievably world class footballers despite their bad form so we was always going to be up against it. As for the Saints they have four England internationals in their team so again it was always going to be a tough game to win. We need to appreciate what Pulis has done. He has taken over a squad and club that had the mentality of a Championship side and has managed to make them believe they can do this. I have every faith in Pulis that he will keep us up and some fans need to stop this "but we are playing boring football" crap and appreciate the job he has done/is doing. Rant over!

Agree, TP has done wonders, but we should still be able to play (a little bit) decent football. Look at our fellow strugglers: Villa beat Chelsea, WBA beat Swansea (who is in the thick of it), Fulham got 3 points and Cardiff unlucky not to get a point at Goodison. At least they are trying to keep hold of the ball, not just running and chasing for 90 minutes. And play it to an opponent as soon as we got hold of it. Football is simple really...

TP has done a top job no doubt but it's a tough watch right now.
The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years |

OP is spot on. I couldn't give crap about the style of football etc...As long as we grind out the points needed. Some of our fans are very deluded and have short memories, under IH we tried changing and kooked what happened. Palace are always known as the underdog and with Pulis in charge for me thats the perfect match.

The OP is spot on. Good first post! We have a real chance of surviving in the premier league for the first time ever. Some people need to lose their sense of entitlement.

Finally someone with some sense on this website! I agree with you 100% but the HOL has been a strange one this season with a lot of whingers on the site. Spoke to a few at Selhurst last week who say they don't post anymore because of the majority of fans on here. I just hope the majority of views on here doesn't represent the majority of crystal palace fans views. Tony Pulis is a tactical Genious and if he keeps us up has to go down as one of the best managers in the clubs history.

"Tone" has done a great job and brought so much rigour to our defence compared with early season, but somehow our forward line doesn't click and that's what we need to carry us through to the end of the campaign. Not sure what the answer is? For example, Gayle has put a few away whereas Jerome has hardly ever, but Gayle doesn't get a look in now. Bolasie could be an incredible player but his shooting is so piste poor. Jedi takes the free kicks but I can't remember the last time we got a goal from a free kick. I'm sure others can think of of similar examples. Just can't see us improving from week to week or where we will get the goals to win the games we need to keep us up? Single points won't be enough I'm afraid.
