.... are all potentially winnable. I think they'll be decisive as to whether we remain in the PL. Forever the pessimist I'm not at all sure we will. I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

14 points giving us 37 points by end of Feb, beat West Brom early March, enjoy the rest of the season and take huge delight in watching Brighton get relegated on the last day of the season

Our fixtures from March onwards aren't too friendly. All top half teams with the exception of WBA and Sheffield United, who will be fighting for their lives by then. We'll need to finish this next run of games with at least 34 points. Possibly more given the feeble finish to last season. 11 points shouldn't be unachievable from a potential 21. The kind of target we should be looking at is probably 15. This should really be a minimum expectation as narrowly avoiding relegation would be a very underwhelming season. You can expect those who have ardently defended Roy to refuse to put down any kind of marker as to what they believe the minimum expectation should be over the next 7 games. I would say, below 11 and he should be sacked, but with the current state of the club. I'd kick him out today. I'd would be very interested to here what the minimum expectation from others are. They seemingly have no cut off point.

They seemingly have no cut off point. I will be very disappointed if we lose more than 1 of the next 7. For me we should be capable of picking up 14 points with 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat (we are Palace, we don't tend to go on long unbeaten runs - just hope that 1 defeat isn't on the Sussex coast). Anything less than 11 points from those 7 games would be disappointing. As for the 12 games after that, I would be happy if we could collect 10 points given the quality of the opposition. So, for me, I want to see us end with no fewer than 44 points, thereby keeping well away from the relegation dogfight.

At the moment we only seem capable of beating teams in the bottom 3 or newly promoted teams, so thankfully we�ve got Leeds and Fulham in that 7 games, but obviously they won�t be easy. Every season after the turn of the year we seem to have a spell where I say I can�t see where the next win is coming from and we then go in to win 2, 3, or even 5 the Pulis season on the trot, which as good as keeps us safe for another year So here we go...I can�t see where the next win is coming from Edited by monkey (18 Jan 2021 12.24pm) Made in Bromley

I think we will be in the relegation mix come the last day, Unless we pull off a decent midfield signing this month.

We won�t be next or near relegation this season. We have pretty much a full squad to choose from now and a nice break till a West Ham game. I can see us winning 4/5 games of next 7 which will have us well and truly away from relegation.

Par for these games is 9 points if Wilf plays. If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

We have done quite well to amass 23 points. Good squad depth which is a novelty for us. The magic 40 points target should be reasonably achievable, 17 points from 19 games. The last relegation spot is already 11 points adrift of us, it is a very tall order indeed to make that up.
