Long way to go, but the first signs of a gap developing between the top 6 and the rest now.
Everyone is faltering for points atm aside from Watford, Leicester and Cardiff, at the top. Means Palace are still in with a shout despite some horrid form.
Have had two of you know state you think Palace are probably going to drop out of reckoning but I put it to the thread that as soon as all this hassle with the transfer window is put to rest, the results will come back with a nice regularity. Also, every single draw we have had in our last 10 games aside from at Hull, we were the better team so we aren't getting the rub of the green. Despite this, still fourth!
Dikagcoi back soon, we have Butterfield in to replace Garvan as the playmaker, but we still have a right back problem and Ramage getting games which is never good. We do have all our other better centre backs out injured though.
Fully fit our defence is solid, as it is we are pretty pathetic in comparison and annoyingly I think its a couple more weeks until some players come back fit. We have good cover for Zaha if he goes, in Williams and I hear we are bringing in another striker to hopefully ease the load on Murray. Announced by the end of the weekend/early next week, apparently.
Garvan/Ward injuries are the biggest blows to our starting line up. Upsetting.
Will report back properly after Ward comes back in a couple of weeks, what I think our chances are.
