Well, they're more like a bunch of street fighters than a football club, but I know what you mean.

Having said which today they had 80 minutes to break down a Swansea side with ten men camped in their own half and not getting anywhere near the Huddersfield goal, and still only got a point.

We weren't expected to win against Tottenham,Man Utd and Chelsea nor are we expected to win against Liverpool so there have been certain expectation levels.

Against Huddersfield many might expect us to fare somewhat better and the pressure on the players to get a result will be even greater given that we are both fighting against relegation.Huddersfield have won 1 and Drawn 1 of their last 2 Home games and this will be a really hard match for us.

All the promoted teams are.

Looking at the fixtures, you have to fear from Southampton and West Ham.

You could even say that we have been lucky. Over the last few games we have been forced to bring in Wan-Bissaka against three of the biggest teams in the division, and we have found a solution to where we get our new £10 million Right Back from in the Summer.

Kelly seems to be another level from Kelly of 12 months ago. Van Aanholt looks quality again.

The backs against the wall seem to have got the team playing together.

We have an energised Zaha back, Sakho to come back in.

They have a horrific April and with 5 games out of 8 at home, usually a positive for most teams but after today they must be worried. I'd throw Stoke in there, with a very tough March/April as well.

As excited as I am. I want to see us go to Huddersfield and put them to the sword. Not have a performance like against Burnley at their place where we battered them but came away with nothing. We need points from this one massively.

"We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

West Ham and Southampton are in a false sense of security (not in the bottom 3) when both are abysmal. For all our faults and weaknesses, we have spirit and goals in us

Just hope Huddersfield don't injure anyone, bunch of kickers.
