Palace relegation watch

[bhaexpress]

Does any Brighton fan feel sorry for Palace ? I know not all Palace fans are idiots but given all the years of mockery some of their less intelligent fans (the majority) have given us I am thoroughly enjoying watching them struggle.

There's nothing to feel sorry about... they're only in danger of getting relegated. They won't go out of business. Relegation is a natural part of football, and happens to just about every team at some point.

If they are relegated, they will still be playing next season, they will be winning more often, and playing in a division full of interesting (often local) teams.

It'll be a fun season for all..

Exactly this.

Southampton fans are hardly 'suffering' too badly this season, are they. Must be TERRIBLE watching the FIFTY goal partnership up front each week. Still, at least they have WEMBLEY on Sunday to pep them up.

If you didn't revel in our misery, it would mean you didn't care, that would be far worse.

Good point well made.

Going down, going down, going down!

Going down, going down, going down!

Bully.

Will you be making the journey down next season Al to see our beloved derby match?

Should we be playing you, yes.

If Wednesday beat Watford tonight it would leave Palace 4 points adrift of Wednesday, and 3 behind Watford who would still have a game in hand on Palace.

IF they do come down, it will make for an interesting season.

Southampton, Palace, Leeds, Charlton and us fighting for the top 2 places?

Palace's remaining fixtures:

Cardiff (H)
Watford (A)
Middlesbrough (A)
Preston (H)
QPR (H)
Derby (A)
West Brom (H)
Sheff Wed (A)

It looks a tricky run-in, and on current form, I fancy them to pick up 4 points at home, and 3 points away from home BEFORE the Sheff Weds game leaving them on 46 points, and almost certainly needing a win in the Steel City.

With Derby and QPR all but safe, it will be safe to assume defeats against Watford and Sheff Wed will doom Palace to relegation....here's hoping!

Hopefully they'll be down well before the final day anyway, but if not, I would LOVE to watch that Sheff Weds game on Sky if its a relegation decider (it'd surely be one of the live ones they show). I would quite literally build my entire weekend around that.

Why do you honestly think you'll be up there? As for us, if we go down we will lose players and struggle, we would be happy with a mid table.

Brighton, Palace and Southampton fighting it out at the top of League One would be ACE next season.

But I doubt Palace will go down, sadly.

 

[Napper]

I believe Palace have hardly any fit defenders either.

Sheff Wed win tonight and Palace lose on Sat. Would pay a shit load for that combo

I hope we f***ing ruin your weekend.

I hope our paths don't cross ( like ships in the night ) too soon and by that I mean missing each or with divisional swaps. I want to be able to see Albion V Palace on a regular basis again be it in League 1 or the Championship........but ideally in the Championship ASAP.

I'm not totally convinced we will be yet.
But the signs are looking very promising for next season. Gus has come in and seen who he wants, who he doesn't. He's whittled his squad down to a core of quality players, he's now got them playing a system that they understand, we're playing some very decent stuff and have stopped leaking goals. Its taken a bit of time, but the players are responding to Gus and we've seen a huge improvement these last 2-3 months.

If we can keep hold of the likes of Calderon, Paintor and (please please) Lua Lua, with a few more shrewd acquisitions in the summer, then I think we'll go into next season in very good shape. Not saying we'll necessarily be challenging for automatic, but top 6 should be a realistic proposition.

We thought we was going to get that a couple of years ago, then you lot went and got relegated. Again.

Not gonna get my hopes too high until they get cast adrift by at least 4 or 5 points, but I am enjoying the slow inexorable slide they are on.
