Relegation?

We can score goals and look good going forward.
Sort the defence out and we'll stay up.

We’ve scored one goal in our last 4 league games and that courtesy of a dodgy penalty. We average one goal a game in the league. Our attacking play isn’t as bad as our defending but it’s still pretty bad.

Yes. Cannot see 3 other clubs going down, that's why. Too much money for Manchester. Rebuild in Championship. Fix stadium.

I started this thread - it will be a long one - having entered the season as optimistically as some of you (which I like to see). Organisation is the problem, headless chickens out there. Oh no, here comes S. Dyche. (hey, Roy H. is still rescuing clubs! 80 next August, hooe for us all)

Agree we havent been scoring goals, but this team can score. Mateta if he stays, Sarr if he comes back, JSL, Pino have all got goals in them. More so than other relegation rivals such as the 3 promoted teams.
 
It depends on the manager, anyone who has experience in the Premier league and has done ok, has a squad that is manageable to a lower mid table finish, Sage or another gambled manager is another thing.

In conversation with a couple of long-time supporters last night both were firmly in the 'Dyche' camp.
They viewed him as an experienced PL manager who had kept Burnley in the PL over several seasons and such a managerial profile is what is required at this present time.
They viewed Frank as a manager who benefitted enormously from the Brentford data-recruitment model which provided him with players including Watkins,Toney, Mbeumo,Thiago, Raya, Erickson, Benrahma, Wissa etc etc.
 
Tomas Frank, hoofball and everyone behind the ball with 30% possession in the hope of getting a 1-0 win for perhaps a few more seasons. Until Glasner came along, we had the question of what's the point of Crystal Palace, and I could see why neutrels would say it. There is a part of me that would rather we went down and rebuilt trying to play more attractive football, than 3 more years of attrition football with the aim to get 17th place. I know there's no guarantee you come back up, but not sure I want to continually see dire unispired backs to the wall football again.

Apart from those few games at the end of Glasner’s first half season what we got from him was backs against the wall, defend for our lives and break to try and win by the odd goal. That’s literally the template that won us the FA Cup final. His final season with us was full of dire, uninspired backs to the wall football.

It’s not like the football under Sage has been inspiring. We’ve not played liquid football or had high possession. Our possession stats are among the lowest in the Premier League as is our goals for total. We shouldn’t mistake chaotic lack of organisation for good football
 
i have always said that the Prem has the best quality of football but The Championship has the best quality of spectacle & entertainment.

Wanna watch a predictable snoozefest of Arsenal versus any of the bottom half of the table ?
 
Please rename thread title to "Bedwetters come here for a cry"
 
Awww our old friend relegation, been there done that several times. I wonder how many tourists and glory hunters will want tickets for Stoke or Preston on a Tuesday night?🤣
 
Conspiracy theorist bedwetter here, I wouldn’t want to be cut adrift with so many yank owners in the premier league is it only a matter of time before it’s a closed shop?

There have been those who have asserted that they would not be too distraught if we were relegated as it would likely mean more victories and not a perpetual struggle in the PL.
Their views might change when the Championship fixtures are published and there are rows of empty seats at Selhurst Park.
Just ask the supporters of Championship clubs where they would rather be playing next season.
