keep fighting.,,,,

Stoke are unbeaten in their last 6 'Home' games but have only won 4 of them.

Only Four. Would be so nice to see us win a couple at home. Fortress Selhurst seems such an embarrassing slogan these days.

Preparing for a possible return to the championship doesn't mean giving up on surviving in the prem which is what all of your multiple mr. miserable posts say on every thread on this subject.

It's easy for those, like yourself, miles away from this to say what you say, but not for us. And we shouldn't be writing ourselves off anyway. We've seen teams thrashed at home and people trying to get at managers, photos of fans pointing and hurling abuse at them and they still survive.

If we do go down you'll be relying on Palace Player, BBCRadio or biased local northern radio again and back from the game threads.

Only calling it as I see it, rudi. Don't let it upset you so.

I had 35 seasons living within a few miles of Selhurst - Wimbledon being the furthest. Miles away I may be physically, but spirit is still within SE and SW postcodes.

Indeed.

You hear pundits say words to the effect that Selhurst is a hard place to come to, even Guardiola mentioned the other day that it isn't easy at Selhurst ! Perhaps they were talking about the traffic or the bus/rail links!

We can stay up, there are plenty of points to play for however the players are shot to pieces and just can't see it changing anytime soon.

I hope Sam does stay on and help put things right next season.

Yes we can, we need to play a little better away and massivly better at home to do it. We crumble easily once behind but if we dont go behind we play really well and always look like we deserve point from a game.
But god this is going to be uncomfortable, the better side in a horrible position in the league, its the Sheff Wed season all over again...

Do you think he will stay if we are relegated ?
Perhaps the supporters will want him out ?

All depends, as always, on if there's better we can get. Sam is better than Pardew btw. May not look that way to a few right now but Pardew either would've relegated us this season or next season. He was gradually destroying it all with his slapdash approach to everything. Parish would've kept him on or dithered over sacking him and the transfer window would've been a joke, possibly doing more damage. At least we've bought well this window and arguably last window, even if Tomkins is unsaleable at this level. Benteke, Townsend and Mandanda we would get money for if we have to. We just didn't address enough and thought we were done as soon as Benteke signed. Then Mile left, no replacement, no 2nd bid on Rincon, Wilshere going to Bournemouth and Flamini coming in with his boots loaded with treacle till December. Some manager that super al.

In fact I'd go as far as saying there's a lot of saleable assets in the team, they're just like England. Sh1t all together. The problem would be that too many go and too much overhauling to do. But we'd be in a strong position to compete, nowhere near a Villa.

But that is at the back of my mind and something for them to consider in a month if we're still in a precarious position.

It will be emotional rather than logical. We'd need a Theresa May to steady the ship for a few months before going again and instead the fans might want David Cameron. All fur coat.

3 months left anyway.

Funnily enough... despite how bad Saturday was for morale, we are in a "better place" than we were before the Bournemouth game.

Yes we have dropped to 19th in the league, but we are now competing with at least 5 teams rather than just 3 and the difference is only 2 points to top that mini-league.

Mind you, both Hull and Swansea seem to have more fight in them than we do. I cannot see either of them losing at home to Sunderland.

we can stay up if we defend a whole lot better as a team than we did last Saturday

In terms of Hull, two of Silva's recent signings scored on Saturday, N'Diaye and Niasse and his other signing debutant Ranocchia had a very good game at the back replacing Dawson.Talk of new signings "Hitting the ground early" ! We could do with some of this as a matter of urgency.

More hoping that Steve will have talked to Sam about staying on next season if that's what he wants even if (when) we do go down so the fella can think ahead.

This is not just a 'focus on the next match' scenario. Other stuff has to be looked at like scouting and the academy and facilities for training, etc. If those problems aren't addressed in tandem we will continue floundering into the future.

Edited by Kermit8 (06 Feb 2017 9.38am)

absolutely right ,but i thought our scouting had been upgraded , we do not have a proper indoor training area pulis nearly walked out after a few days when he realised what our facilities where like ,but lets hope the new players and a change of tactics will save us,instead of hopelessly hoofing the ball to big ben, but i feel the problem is much more deep routed
