Despite my increasing indifference to the Premier League, I am officially worried about Palace now. 1 win in 9. 4 home defeats in a row. Roy Hodgson inexplicably having a go at the fans. A tough set of fixtures coming up, starting with Man City next week. Recent losses to teams we should be beating, like Bournemouth, Luton and Everton. A lot of injuries. Today's Liverpool game was particularly frustrating because it was a game we should have won - before a stupid red card ruined things. I'm circling the game against Brighton on the 21st as the key indicator of where Palace stand - a comfortable mid-table team, or a team that could get sucked into a relegation fight.
They say actions are louder than words.
ReplyDeleteI put £20 on Palace to get relegated at 14-1 2 weeks ago, the day after Eze got injured.
Without EE & with Cheik Doucouré now out for the season, t'writing is on the wall.
Hodgson's gravitas is fading also.
