We are now two thirds of the season in and curious how people would rate our squad so far. I'd go with....

Doucoure, already player of the season, by far our best player.

Zaha, poor by his standards but by far our best attacking player.

Good. Olise, Andersen, Guehi.

Average. Mitchell, Clyne, Guaita.

Below average. Ward, Eze, Schlupp, Ayew.

Worthless. Mateta, Edouard.

Hughes, Richards both solid when needed.

The rest not enough minutes to rate.

I think we've been OK this season I have to say.

There's not been much to get too excited about however I am equally not too 'angry' which I often can be however I retain that right as a football fan.

It's difficult presently given the unfavourable fixture list. Provided we avoid catastrophe I think this season has been a very non-descript one which in a way is disappointing given last season held so much promise but historically it is hard to feel any way but joyful at mid-table PL obscurity.

A lack of movement in the transfer market, early cup exits, goals drying up given options in attack, an under-resourced midfield and the drop in form of Mitchell would be the lowlights for me.

Highlights include the performances of Hughes and Richards, the odd moment of Olise magic, Wilf being Wilf and the ever strengthening CB partnership. I also think Vinnie had done well in goal where for all my love for him I have doubted him on occasions.

We're still only part way through and I hope there are a few more moments of elation to come, there will be inevitable low points, however at this stage I'm just hoping for survival to see what the next year brings.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

The defence is good. Central midfield bang average.
Zaha, Olise and Eze have had good seasons.
The forward line is pony. Ian Wright should come in and train our forwards. Big mates with PV and a Palace legend its a no brainer.

Just having a normal season tbh! last season was an exception and our expectations went sky high after that! by all means we are having the season we should have had last season!
