Where will we finish ?

Here's another stat for you , the team that wins the championship usually is the one out of the three to go back down !

 

Here's another one for you... No team to hit the 100-point mark in the Championship has ever been relegated in their first season

 

I voted bottom 3 simply bc I refused to vote for 9th to 17th place. I think you will end up 17th exactly to be honest. I dont think you have a very good squad, I dont think your signings have been good either but I certainly do not think you have the worst squad. I suspect you will have a couple really nice scorelines, you will be tonked a few times but I think you will pick up enough to stay up.

 

That's just put the kiss of death on Leicester !

 

No-one knows as yet. Look at last season: who thought Palace or us would stay up?

 

What Jack said.

 

Well, that's true. I thought Cardiff would do the better of the three promoted clubs. That said, you made the best summer signings, so that made a big difference.

 

Okay, firstly, you refuse to vote 9th to 17th, but you think we'll finish 17th?

But, 17th is... Oh, never mind!

Secondly, we don't have a very good squad? Erm, did you see the Championship last year? Regardless of the standard you may believe it to be, you don't win the Championship amassing over 100 points by pure luck with a squad "not very good"

We haven't made the signings to date, we've signed a replacement for Dyer in Albrighton who I really rate, and Ulloa, who I'm on the fence with but happy to give him a chance.

You didn't sign Huddlestone and Livermore until the 14th August last year, you were looking a hell of a lot worse than us this time last year... But you thought you were good enough then?

 

You really can't take criticism at all.

 

Hey, I take it as a positive when even the WUMs can't bring themselves to say we'll go down!

 

Why do you say that? Everything Jack says is correct.

 

Because he's trying to convince us that we're not good enough, whereas he knows **** all about our squad and the potential it has.

Can see us doing a Southampton if i'm honest.

 

Your squad isn't good enough, yet.

 

Even looking at the end of August last year wouldn't have been enough given the run Palace went on. The three relegated teams are any 3 from about 10.
I'm not sure you have enough quality yet but there are many untried players who may or may not make it. For what it's worth I think the bottom three will be: Burnley, West Brom andSunderland.....

 

Oh yes, because if I popped over to the Hull board to tell you all that your squad isn't good enough, not606 would crash from all the positive rep I'd receive

 

Good post Horsham

I think it will be close again this year, there are quite a few teams who could potentially crash and burn.

As Palace proved last season, it's not over til it's over, no matter how far adrift and desperate things may be!

You think the Dramas will stay up!?

 

I doubt many will care, they'd probably mock you like they do AKCJ though.

 

What he said

 

Blah blah blah ... all conjecture and parochial testicle thrumming ... only after 10 games in will there be any empirical basis for such hypothesis ... .... ... and by then we'll be pontificating about whether we can really sustain our Champions League position whist Hull City will be wondering whether a first point in Europe against Vimto Heraklion might just be the boost they need to prompt a run that would take them out of the EPL relegation zone ...

 

You go on a foreign board to effectively say "you're squad is rubbish", what kind of responses did you expect?

"Oh yes mate, you are totally right, great post, I completely agree, we're basically already relegated"

I'm just wondering why you think that our squad isn't good enough. You seemed to do alright last season?
