Yannick Bolasie - Glenn Murray - Wilfried Zaha Most exciting attacking trio at Selhurst Park in years. |

Its definitely a good sign, but there is still a way to go, but winning three games on the spin has taken us from being relegation fodder to relegation potential, and there is still a way to go. But we've given ourselves a very good fighting chance, some belief and confidence.

I said that it would take a long time for him to turn it around. I wasn't fully convinced we needed to take such distractive changes to the tactics and training but it was obvious he was changing a lot on the training ground.

3 wins and 3 clean sheets on the trot. He deserves all the plaudits going. A good example of why this thread is frankly ridiculous. Look at Pardew's first 12 months. They were brilliant by anyone's standards - still ended in tears. Allardyce is starting to get good results but in all likelihood, it will still all end in tears and he will be seen as the Devil incarnate

End of the day, you ask any of the bottom 3 clubs if they’d swap their current manager for Sam Allardyce and they’d bite your hand off. That tells you all you need to know. He’s by the far best, by a country mile, for the predicament we find ourselves in. We are lucky to have him and just hope he keeps us up so we can properly revel in his greatness …

What was really annoying me wasn't the fact of Allardyce yes or no, or his tactics or Pardew's...

That's are the run of games that could end up costing us this season not the 10 to come. Did he work them too hard initially during a packed fixture list? We ended up messing around with a 3-4-3 but since gone away from it with better results. The Swansea game was the worst in terms of how exhausted the players looked despite it being the most crucial of our season, had we just got 1 point from that, we'd be on 29pts and Swansea would be on 25, that 4 point gap to the bottom 4 would have been massive. Sam's record at Sunderland was similar; initially struggling but soon the players start to understand his ways but he did have a bit more time there. I'm not sure we actually needed as drastic a change with our approach, just needed to improve game management, greater focus on defence and fitness, those were the things costing us under Pardew, we were scoring a bunch, just conceding a hell of a lot too and fading in games.
