After today's result what are our chances of staying up ? I know there are 14 games to go but if we can't take points from a bottom three club who are going take points from ? Pardew must be laughing at us now.

The problem is that no matter what calibre of players we have, Palace are an easy-to-beat team right now which notches the confidence of the opposition up 100% every time. Edited by Slimey Toad (04 Feb 2017 5.38pm)

Entirely depends on how the team react to this game. It's either a kick up the arse or a boot in the face. Let's see what happens against Stoke.

WE will not know until the last game of the season. BFS has got to earn his corn and use his signings to pick points up. It will go to the wire but I am not hopeful.

Alot of it depends on how our new signings perform. If they can all stay fit and perform I honestly think we will be fine. If we continue with players like Delaney, Puncheon, Ledley and Hennessey then we are in for a real relegation fight. What I'm struggling to work out is how in 4 days we can go from a very solid accomplished performance against Bournemouth to that today. Sunderland were crap. You might find that strange but they were. As soon as they went 1 up they were happy to time waste from the 12th minute. They just couldn't believe there luck that we gifted them goals on a plate. If you gift Defoe chances he will punish you. He's one of the deadliest finishers the Premiership has seen in my opinion. Doesn't matter how old you are you don't lose that finishing ability. We need Sahko, Schlupp and Luka up to match fitness asap.
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

But they have a game plan, and it worked.

100m spent and going down bottom. They have no courage for the fight
The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years |

If we go down I am sure Benteke, Townsend, Zaha and possibly PVA will go and we have to rebuild from our academy and lower league players.

Allardyce's post match interview shows that he can't understand why we are so bad and gives the impression something drastic will have to happen to prevent relegation. At least under Pardew we would be going down fighting playing some decent football and, above all, scoring goals
