Talk about a faint heart from the OP. Exactly the same mindset as the guy near the back of Holmesdale Lower yesterday.... Negative, negative, negative eg "Benteke... not marking anyone" when we were defending a corner .... he isn't meant to. Moaned the entire game and does it every week. If Palace could only have a fully available squad including Wilf and Jeffrey who added good balance to the left side. We move in the direction of our thoughts. Just think a little.

It's very uncomfortable but it's not over yet. Sixteen games left and we've got to win half of them. We'll have a better idea of where we're heading after the Sunderland and Boro games. .... and possibly some good news?

Sorry if it's already been said but I agree with the OP but only because players don't seem to be very keen to join us, and why would they? If we could get 3 new arrivals in I feel we would have a chance but unfortunately no top players are going to fancy being in the Championship next season, and you can't blame them.

Relegated????? I will be massively disappointed if we don't achieve a top 10 finish now that we have got the virtual former England back room team on board and a group of players that all bar 3 got to the lofty heights of 5th in December 2015!! Couple this with the San Selhurst crowd and ability to turn water into wine (we have done the opposite already) and voila! Have a good day. Bring back Brolin

Before yesterday,I had started to think we were going down.I thought it was a much better performance yesterday,against a decent team.Perhaps influence of little sam and BFS?Thought we showed spirit. At the time, I thought their goal was outrageous because of Schlupp injured on the pitch and the game not being stopped when there was the throw in...but then being honest out of the heat of the moment I did see him deliberately roll himself back onto the pitch,so can't really complain ... I think we have a decent shout at staying up....let's can the negativity and get behind the team and staff. COYP! Edited by legaleagle (22 Jan 2017 12.12pm)

Originally posted by Pigglelet We�ve been promoted to the top flight seven times. The longest we�ve stayed up has been four seasons: 1969-73 and 1989-93. This is our longest stay in the Premier League, but it�s also our fourth season again. History repeating itself? In 1969-73 we did very well to stay up, thanks to Bert Head, but we were never able to consolidate at that level. In 1989-93 we had a much better chance to establish ourselves, but shot ourselves in the foot and I feel it�s the same this season. I�m not saying we are down yet, especially purely as a result of yesterday, but I think it�s going to be a real battle now to survive. We have a slim chance, but if we don�t gain at least 8 points from the next 5 fixtures, then I think we are down. We have already picked up 7 fewer points this season than we had from the corresponding fixtures last season � and then we finished just 5 points above the relegated sides. Still trying to be optimistic. The 89 - 93 period in the top flight only ended because Noades refused to put his hand in his pocket. We don't have that problem now. Now we've got a new boss trying to right the balls up of the old one and given our run in then survival will be quite a feat. Babs and Clean Willie were in love they said....
