Unlikely. Brighton are on their best ever unbeaten run in the PL. They can defend and score goals. Wilfless Palace have proved we are unable to do either. The last 20 games without Wilf have seen us fail to score in 16 of them and we have only avoided defeat in 2 of those 20 games. What makes you think the current injury reduced team are going to change that record?

With Fulham also looking capable of going on a run, we are in serious trouble, despite our current 11 point advantage over them.

I know your questions directed to another poster I didn’t hold much optimism for either of those no.

We had some fortune in both those games, I’m not saying miraculous fortune just things went our way, I still wasn’t that impressed and the last two results have been as bad as you could imagine.

If we’re to scrape through, I’m hoping for a few more pieces of luck in games before the seasons out.

I have no faith in the quality of our players or ability of our manager to see any strengthening on our bid for survival

The 2 wins were with Zaha in the side,our talisman and top scorer.
Without him we look totally abject.
I doubt if he will return to the team soon so some more dire performances on the way starting with Brighton in our next game.

Yeah so just to be clear I was trying to make a fair point and totally get where you’re coming from (was a hastily and not very carefully written first post).

I think you could be right but it’s still sparking some anxiety in me. It’s unlikely but not at all impossible that we could see a Pardew-esque run of losses between now and the end of the season, I still think Sheffield United probably deserve their position but a real streak of less than necessary luck there too as a recent example.

As previously stated though I wasn’t hopeful against wolves or Newcastle and live in hope we’ll see another burst of points or at least a trickling to see us limp over the line.

Never easy is it! I, like many, blame my father!

My god we look awful, but nonetheless, COYP
