Chelsea Predictions.

We'll probably lose, but the games after this are important.

We have had a tough run of games with big player injuries. Normally, I would have expected a win against a poor Spurs and at least a draw at Leeds. Other than the Macclesfield game, which I don't think we were bothered about, the other games were very losable at any time. The Conferences matches we tried to wing and it didn't pay off.

We just need a 5% improvement to start getting wins against the lesser teams and three more will see us safe.
 
Should W.Ham defeat Sunderland tomorrow, which I believe is feasible, and we succumb to a defeat against Chelsea, which many predict, the gap between ourselves and W.Ham will be reduced to 8 points.
I believe this will trigger real concern and the perturbation will increase.

After seeing the press conference, I now not only think we'll win on Sunday, but I think we'll win the Conference League and finish in the top 8 of the PL!

2-1 Palace. Lacroix and Sarr (from the bench).

It was reassuring wasn’t it? I think Oli has explained himself well, I always took it this way how he has said, but obviously a lot didn’t, he spoke much better today than the other day anyway.

We have our best current players coming back fit for this game, and Chelsea are not in the most stable situation themselves right now… we’ve had a few nice upsets against them over the years that always stick in my memory, we’re well due the next one now!

Feelings in this game change very quickly.

My prediction: 2-1 to us, a brace from Sarr on his return straight back from winning the Cup of Nations 🙂
 
I'm not too sure if Rosenoir knows how to go about winning games while dominating possession. He certainly didn't play that way as manager of Strasbourg. Having a squad packed full of world class players means little if you dont know how to use them. Especially when you are up against a manager that may not have the same quality all over the pitch but DOES know how to squeeze every drop out of what he has.
I'm going to say 1-1 but would not be surprised to see us nick it 2-1. A lot depends on the crowd tbf. In light of recent events we need everyone right behind the team

well, he did stuff us in the Conference, notwithstanding none of our lot could hit a barn door with a banjo that evening (or any other evening since it seems)🤣 Maybe he will tell his lot to give us the ball, because then we will do everything except score .... sorry ... its been a tough week!

Hardly a stuffing. They won by 1 goal and we completely outplayed them on the night.
Chelsea have the advantage playing us knowing our confidence is fragile but I dont see that advantage counting for much the longer the game goes on if it stays level.
 
Going to be only 8 points above the relegation zone by kick off by the looks of it. West Ham finding form. A couple of losses in a row for us and we are right in the relegation fight. Frankly I don’t trust this group of players or the manager to fight for safety if it comes to it so points from our next few games are vital. Sadly I can’t see anything coming tomorrow.

Make that definitely 8 points. Lose the next two and we are squarely in a relegation fight. At the moment we look the least equipped team in the league to deal with one.
 
Anyone who still thinks we are not in any sort of trouble just look at the side who easily beat us last week getting hammered by a team who were supposed to be certs for relegation.

West Ham are making Sunderland look very average, although Xhaka's absence is really hurtung them as he makes Sunderland tick.
Wish we had got Summerville a few years ago when we had the chance.
Him and Bowen are full of menace down the sides and would really suit our system.
It's good to see wide players attack with pace driving to get into the penalty area.

I hope we go for it against Chelsea.
