Looking at previous points totals after 17 games it looks very likely that 36 points will suffice this season.

So we only need another 14 points.

Its extremely unlikely that a team currently higher than 13th will go down with the bottom 5 most likely to provide the 3 that go down. At a push you could include Bournemouth.

I think the current bottom 3 will drop and west ham will just stay up.


"So we only need another 14 points"??
Probably mission impossible!!

We'll stay up, just about. We simply need a couple of strikers, we have none at the moment.

I felt more positive after last night. We defend well and work hard, so I'm not so worried about not having the bottle for a relegation scrap.
I think the set up will change after the Arsenal game, maybe a bit more adventurous at Brighton. Whereas PV would probably prefer to give Ahamada a few more cameos, I think he may be starting soon in order to bring more energy and pace.
Over here we get the Supersport coverage and the pundits last night were Tim Sherwood and Owen Hargreaves. After the usual lengthy discussion about Man City the presenter asked for their thoughts on Palace and relegation. Tim Sherwood said "they're right in it", whilst Owen Hargreaves said "they'll finish comfortably mid-table.

I suspect we've had it this time.
Teams like Man City can beat you 9-0, so yesterday was no disgrace and that match was never going to define the season. We won't pick up any points against Brighton or Arsenal, so the struggle to get eleven more points starts after that.
And, having watched Palace for nearly sixty years, I'm not too bothered. It's just another episode, really. Heresy though it will seem, Im not too bothered which division we play in. Lots of fans who have only ever supported us as a Premiership club will drop off and it'll be back to 15,000 gates and a crap ground. But hey- ho. We've been there before. The Premiership is of course the Holy Grail, but it's no sort of competition: the big teams have all the money, get all the best players and refereeing decisions 'curiously' always seem to go in their favour. That Palace has now had a consecutive run of over ten seasons is a massive over-achievement, given the lack of gates and investment needed to achieve more, or even hang on at this level.
What is most disappointing is that it's a long while since we had a result that is unexpected- like the win at City last year. There's simply been no magic to this campaign, no excitement.
What is worrying is this failure to land a single shot on target during a match. Is it that difficult? I find the distrust of Edouard, and, for that matter, the obsession with picking Ayew, unfathomable. Why not try Edouard and Mateta from the start? You can't do worse than no strikes on goal.
So, if we go down, it won't be the worst thing. We'll have to see some home-grown players, for a change. For all the talk about our Academy, it has produced Wan-Bissaka, who earned a decent fee,and Mitchell, who isn't going to set the world alight.
I just don't see any passion or identification with the club from the present crop. There are no leaders out there, and certainly no characters. It's like we have a goalkeeper and then ten identical players in front of him.

Great post all round but thoroughly agree in bold.

I'd also add, for me, there seems to be an odd sort of desperation to romanticise about PV and defend him from all criticism amongst some. The worst and weakest argument in the world of 'who else then?' seems to keep coming up which is very bizarre. He's not an ex-player, didn't walk to Palace as a youngster from his childhood home in Anerley, doesn't really exhibit any close connection with club etc. It's quite embarrassing and odd, as though we should be grateful for his mere presence at our club due to what he achieved as a player... with Arsenal! Talk about an inferiority complex and misplaced loyalty.

When Wilf is gone I really do fear for our 'identity' and that synergy between our players/coaches and fans. Just does not seem to be there anymore, even before we endeavoured to produce the worst run in PL history.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

If Wolves take a point at Newcastle, yes.

Thank goodness for our last win at the end of 2022 when we picked up 3 points and that is now what separates us!
