Palace ---- Realistic expectation for 2012/2013

[ees complicated no?]

So far they seem to have got their heads screwed on.

Realistic expectation for 2012/2013 - CPFC BBS

I've gone from being bullish regarding our promotiion chances a month ago (when McCorkmack look about to happen), to what I now will call realism of expecting a low-table finish - again.

Don't agree. As of today, our squad is considerably weaker than it was at the end of the season.

If we do not add any more players (which I'm sure we will) we will be lucky to avoid relegation.

At the moment we are going down imo.

Honestly, in this moment in time I think we will go down. I've never actually thought that in my entire history of support Palace

Yeah but those common-sense comments are only because all the head-in-the-sand twats are so busy posting on here that they haven't got time for their own board

Palace are our main rivals in this division, so your point is?

Some of the bookmakers already have Palace filling that last relegation spot , maybe a few ITK in South London have "gone large" ?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Mid table mediocrity at best.

Yes, but there are more Palace fans registered on here compared to BBS...

Exactly.

If Palace do go down I imagine there will be a hell of a lot of thread BUMPING on here at the end of the season.

They're definitely starting to get the jitters now with all the players leaving and not a lot coming in. Again putting a lot of hope/expectation/pressure on more youngsters to see them through. They need a couple of very good, established, players to seriously be able to target anywhere north of 14th place. The owners keep saying wait till the transfer window is shut before judging, but I suspect they may have put a lot of eggs in the McCormack basket, and suddenly that's looking rather shaky. 1 month till the window shuts so they've got time to bring some quality in, but I think 'Under Pressure' sums them up at the moment.

Saying that they appear to be balancing books with getting the likes of Ambrose off the wage bill, so maybe survival is all they are targetting, whilst trying to remain solvent. Which isn't necessarily the worst plan

the fact that we beat pompy 5-1 without our strongest team suggest that we should easily be staying up if not going up.

Palace wont go down in my opinion, Freedman does have them well organised and hard to beat.
Lower mid table again seems to me where they will finish.

Agree with this. Don't reckon they'll go down.

Yeah I'll go with that.

I would worry if that was true.

If we are going to have a chance for promotion I want our main rivals to be in the top 6 not the bottom 6
