Palace will make the playoffs - If they keep Zaha in Janurary..

who cares they will still be bucked tooth tarmac loving twunts.

This is a chart showing how teams' finishing positions related to their positions after ten matches last season.

To the side is a table showing the number of teams that were in the same position after each match as the one they ended up in (with a list of which positions they were).


(click to enlarge, I think just hovering your mouse over it works, too)

As you can see, there's not much of a pattern to it at all.

One thing Palace do have over us:

They have scored in every single game so far this season, league and cup.

 

[rocker959]

As long as we are promoted I do not care where they finish. With our full team settled in we should beat them to position in the league easily.

its a good position to be in but its way to early to predict how it will go . First of all i want our two games to play out and then take it from there . Theres far too much football to go till the end of the season , in saying that we are looking quite tidy atm

Conceding 1.7 goals per match is not tidy! A few injuries and you'll drop back to mid table

Palace will reach the playoffs if Murray and Zaha both stay fit and if Zaha stays yes!

If you lost Murray or Zaha for any length of time you would be absolutely f***ed, as you concede shitloads for a top half team.

Without 4 of our best players we're still managing draws.

spot on every one forgets about Williams though the 17 year old who ran the show at the AMEX last season

Looks like one of those great talents forever to be blighted by injury

Haven't forgot about him he's not quite as important and was on the bench against Burnley.

The fact you currently concede a lot of goals for a top half side, and we have the joint best defensive record in the entire football league, is not "ifs and buts".

..according to a Nigel at work.

I just can't see it. Am I being overly critical of them? They've been good recently but I can see their form dropping off. Especially with a couple of injuries or suspensions. We on the other hand have a stronger squad and the ability to cover key positions bar, perhaps, an out and out striker. I don't believe that's a privilege befitting many teams at this level.

Palace, class or just a bit of form?

Not sure why you think Brighton have a stronger squad ,palaces bench on Saturday was the strongest i'v seen it in years , the club captain is still out plus there is ment to be 2 or 3 wonder kids from the academe waiting for the chance
I would be more than happy with a top ten Finnish this season there are some very good teams in the championship this season and anyone can beat any one on their day

You said it yourself, they've got a bunch on kids on the sidelines. We've got Calderon, Dunk, Crofts, Dobbie, and even Vicente to a lesser extent! We have much more strength in depth than Palace do.

Mattock!?

 

[nwgull]

Great run of results no doubt, but the wins have all been by the odd goal. They've not dominated any team and have just managed to win 4-3 at home against a team that we beat away 3-1.

I would still fancy our chances of they were the first game after the international break.
