I hope they pull away and they are safe before the last day.
It would be better for us when we go there on the last day if they are already on the beach because I reckon we are going to need something from that game.
With prize money for places finishes no club is ever on the beach at the end of the season in this league.
Yes but you know what I mean.
Would you rather Palace have something to play for on the last day?
Honest answer, dunno. A side free of pressure is sometimes harder to beat.

Exactly! They are free to experiment to some extent, try things they daren't risk whilst being under pressure!
Plus if they start winning a few games, then they will want to keep their winning streak going.

I hope they start winning as they're playing everyone else down there! Palace were never in danger anyway. They'll be well safe.
Everton, Southampton, Bournemouth and Wolves are the teams to watch most right now in my opinion

Really hope not, owner needs to hold his nerve. Whichever league we're in there's not going to be a better option and he deserves the time to coach. We've never had a manager with this level of fan support in my lifetime, don't waste it, it's very rare.

I suspect that EM will think this through very carefully but, for me, what goes against Steve is his insistence on changing the plan when we have been superior to the opposition and gone ahead. I think that it says to the opposition "throw everything you've got at us - we'll hold you off and maybe even score from a breakaway". This rarely works and reduces our confidence. We had Wolves on the run but instead of dominating we retreated. This has happened too many times this season to be just bad luck that will change and we climb the league. I don't like it and I think that EM doesn't.

Fulham, Bournemouth at home the exact opposite happened. We could see it wasn't working, he kept things the say and we collapsed. So he can't win, can he?

Mutual agreement at the bin dippers, will it just be his assistants to carry on till end of season? Then when they know which league go for an appropriate manager?
