Nice try, Lyons-ey. I 'got it' straight away, but it seems maybe others didn't!

It does amaze me how a) people can't read a simple graph and b) can't comprehend a title of a thread....still it's made me chuckle

At the end of the day we are Palace fans, history tells us that anything is possible. At 3-0 on Monday there was still a little part of me telling me I'd take a point!

Swansea have taken 4 points from their last six matches. Their fans reckon the team is demoralised, unlike Hull and us - they commented during the Arsenal match how determined we were. Everything is looking good for Swansea to go down....

 


The right place at the right time

Folks, at least we have this to mull over rather than the demise of our team/club. So if we get 47 pts I will smiling from now until the start of next season. When the fun starts all over again.

I expect it's the fault of the Tories...

Ok, following on from having produced the same thing last season attached is a graph of what we need to achieve as things stand.

Assuming that the club in 18th wins all their remaining games we need another 13points....or 4 wins and a draw from our last 7 games.

Edited by Lyons550 (13 Apr 2017 2.41pm)

But surely that means the 18th placed team will be taking points off other clubs around us and potentially one of them will have a lower possible total.

I.e. 18,17 and 16 can't all win all of there remaining games can they?

Like Allardyce I'll get my defence organised first, I adapted this from a probability calculator I did for work. I used the calculator to model the likely result for Palace and Swansea. It's based on using ratings from Statto.com which do match quiet well well with bookies odds and likely outcomes and general trends rather than specifics teams.

The most likely points out come is Swansea finish on 35pts (14% chance) but there is an almost evens chance that they don't make more than 34 pts.The most likely points total for Palace is 41 or 42pts (both 13%). Our chances of not making 35pts is something like 1 in 1000. Overall there is about 4 pts chance of Swansea getting more points than us.
It is just whether Swansea get more points than Palace so ignore Hull doing well badly but one more win and we are almot definatley safe. Along way round to state the obvious.

Of course normally you would not worry about a 1 in 100 chance. But when you have endured Oldham and all the other improbable relegation situations we have been in there will be those who regard a 1 in 1000 chance of Palace getting f***ed over as a distinct possibility.

I think the Swansea fans are calling it about right. They will soon be goosed.

I avoided looking at Oldham to see what the chances were they would win their last three games for that reason.

I am happier looking at our last six games as a template for next season. We have had five wins from six matches. We play 38 matches (six sets of six and two extra games). Six fifteens is 90 points - I wonder if Sam is selling that vision to our squad (none of whom would wish to leave assuming he succeeds). Currently Chelsea and Spurs (seven wins = 21) could reach 96 and 89 respectively.

I am sure that we would all settle for 90 next season. COYP
