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

[Stumpy Tim]

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

Mattock to a much lesser extent given he plays for Sheffield Wednesday

 

[Biscuit]

Mattock!?

Not had my coffee! Ignore that one!

Yes yes I have no idea what I was thinking

I think my point, bar Mattock obviously, is still a good one!

I do agree with your point I should add.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

If you're not conceding goals and you lose form, you draw games. If you're shipping goals and you lose form, you plummet down the league. I don't see them in the playoffs.

..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?

Well your recent results or comments from an Albion friend of mine don't seem to back that up do they.

Pity you have to use the term Nigel, however I think he's probably right about Zaha.

For your information we have already been without key players and done ok, even when fit DF has changed the team around, in my opinion we now have players on the bench who can change games, I can't honestly remember the last time that happened.

We have as much chance of reaching the play-offs as a dozen or so other clubs.

don't open the thread then.

he's entitled to his opinion, too many palace threads

 

[Aquilaugh]

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.

Yes we have

You are right of course, but how many games have been played ?

The defence will improve, for the first time we have cover for all positions.

The goals will continue, but losing Zaha would affect that.

A term for the rivals, much like the 'hilarious' 'seaweed' that I've seen in the past.

Yes you've done very well so far. I'm impressed. I wouldn't compare it to our situation directly though, as the only position I don't think we have strength in depth is CF. I did state that quite clearly, so I'm not entirely sure what your point is.

You're right in that there are a mighty group of teams that could make the play offs.

 

[nwgull]

Yes we have

Yet in your 5 league wins you've not beaten anybody by more than 1 goal?

 

[fire&skill]

They are on a run we can only dream of; a classic case of 'we're gonna score one more than you'. Exciting to watch - only a matter of time before they get the crowds back in. Good luck to 'em.

 

[nwgull]

Seriously? Before the injuries to CMS and Bruno, our run was 5-1, 3-1, 3-0, 1-0, 2-1.

 

[BensGrandad]

What has set Palace up is their ability to give teams a 2 goal lead and then come back from it but how long will that continue before clubs start taking a lead and shut up shop to stop this happening.

I reckon GG gonna break his leg december....

Are you for real?

 

[tubaman]

Is this the joke de jour thread?

 

[Questions]

I reckon Zaha - who is obviously a bloody good player - will hit the Premier League at just about the same time the powers to be finally get their act together and do something about all this diving and cheating. Could be fun with this Tom Daley wannabe.

In all the excitement of winning those 5 games i kinda forgot the winning margins , cheers mate .
