Looking at the up and coming month I really believe these five matches will define whether we stay up or go down. We face Swansea, Sunderland and Newcastle away and play Southampton and Chelsea at Selhurst.

Swansea will be a tough away game as they have been playing well under the new boss and still have a lot to play for.

Sunderland will be an extremely tight game and Poyet has got them playing well at home at the moment.

I can see us grabbing a result up at Newcastle. If we manage to get the upper hand then the geordies will really get on their teams backs and I think we could nick a win.

The two home matches will be very difficult, as they are both sides who play good football. I'm not confident of beating Chelsea but Southampton are definitely beatable - just look at West Ham's performance at the weekend.

I think we should aim for at least two wins out of the five games. If we manage two wins it will put us on 32 points then I think all we would need out of the remaining games would be another two wins to see us to safety. Thoughts?

Preferable to you getting one of your cojones out, I guess.

It's utterly thrilling and terrifying at the same time. It's like you're reaching out, within touching distance of greatness, but the floor can fall away from under your feet at any time. No security, or certainty.

Emotionally, I can do nothing but focus on one game at a time.

RED AND BLUE ARMY!

if we get a result at swansea and bottom 3 all fail to win, that will be a brilliant cushion - 5 points. The match against sunderland will be massive - true palace style, never straight forward and always exciting

This was once a quality forum....

Yes March is the month in which we must score lots of goal because its only goals that will keep us up. Not sure how Pulis will work the permutations up front but he has to do some thing otherwise we are toast.

maybe even four auckland!
