Norwich won for the 1st time in 11 games on Saturday. Not saying they are easy meat but doesn't make them superior to us. Though them being at home and us being shit away from home, it's easy to see they are clear favourites. Whether we can do a Leicester or not,  I really don't have any confidence we have it in us.

Still look pretty clueless going forward.  I can't see us winning at Norwich and whilst it was nice to finally stop losing to the fuckers.  Yesterday's result didn't help us at all.  Especially as Norwich won on Saturday.

All the trademarks of a team walking toward relegation tonight.

 

- beaten without opposition doing much

- give away cheap FKs all over the shop

- create nowt

- looks fairly decent between the two goal areas without doing much

- slow, laboured build up without necessarily losing ball

- loads of pass backs to keeper

- wrong end of questionable decisions

 

Scarily accurate.  The bit in bold pisses me off.  Especially as Elliot's kicking is so brutal.  He just lofts it up in the air or slices it wide, all the while. 

 

I'm still at a 7.  We did better than I expected last night.  But it was similar to the Stoke game.  We should have got something from the game, yet we came away with a 1-0 loss.  Worrying.

 

Disco called it right.  Saw a lot of this again yesterday.

I think we were 7 minutes away from being as good as gone, was really surprised how shite we were first half but there is just a glimmer of hope now with that tiny bit of momentum and 2 more weeks training with Rafa...

 

I'm probably on an 8.

This may lighten the mood a little. Last season's table at around the same number of games.

 

Leicester were 4 points adrift of safety,whereas we are only 3 points adrift AND have a game in hand (and a better manager  ;) )

 

Also look at us,35 points after 30 games and it still came down to the last game of that season.

 

This season Palace have 33 after 30 games and Swansea have 36 after 31 games. They are definitely not safe yet.

If we can hit 38 points as long as we get wins from Norwich,Swansea and Palace,I think that will be enough.

Last season's table, at the same point in time, is encouraging; it shows the possibility of a (continued) tail spin bringing Palace into it, and of meaningful change helping us climb out. However, IMHO we really needed more from AFCB and SAFC games (4 or even 6 points, instead of 1). So now I can't see us getting more than 35 points. I don't think this will be enough.

Just looking at the fixtures, I have us (probably slightly optimistically), to get 13 pts by the end of the season, which would leave us with 38.

 

Hoping for wins against Norwich, Swansea, Palace and Villa, and a point at either Southampton or Liverpool. Doubt we'll get anything from either Man City or Spurs, but Man City are quite unpredictable at the moment, so who knows?!

 

Hopefully during this break we'll get some players back available, and the point gained on Sunday will be a boost fort he players, and they wont need 60-odd minutes, or to be a goal down to get going next time.

Think we will do it still like. That's with a draw away to Norwich too.

 

Wins vs Villa, Swansea and Palace

Losses vs Liverpool, Southampton, Man City and Spurs

Draw away at Norwich

 

Had the mackems to beat West Bromwich, draw against Leicester, Norwich and at home to Chelsea then lose the rest.

 

Can only see Norwich getting 3 more points...all draws and two of them against us and the SMBs

Sorry about the size of the photo btw.

Aye, I'd say so...

 

Us at home (draw)

Palace away (hate to say it think Pards will win that one)

Sunderland at home (draw)

Watford at home (draw)

Arsenal away (loss)

Man U at home (loss)

Everton away (loss)

 

That was my prediction anyways. Maybe a bit harsh on them?

Gone with the same results as me pretty much. Think it's reasonable too!

I think this shows that despite our strongest wishes, Palace aren't going to be dragged into it

I had them as drawing 3 - I suspect his is the same, with Sunderland picking up an extra draw in comparison to mine.
