TrentVilla Posted March 30, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 30, 2014 Exactly. The number of Premiership quality players in their squad can be counted on one hand. If they stay up Pulis has done an incredible job. Agreed. I remember one of their first games, think it was against Spurs, and one of the commentators mentioned the starting lineup had barely played a Premier League game between them. Sounds like our team last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like our team last year Was far more extreme than us though. I think even Guzan had played as many Premier League appearances as the entire Palace lineup, and he was a backup keeper at that point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I still think Norwich look doomed. I thought that with their last 4 games but I fancy they will beat West Brom next week and they're almost safe on 35 pts. I think the current bottom 3 will remain the bottom 3.

kurtsimonw Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Winner of Norwich v West Brom will probably be safe. If West Brom lose, with Spurs and City their next too, they're in massive trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them beating WBA and then they are away at Fulham. I think they need at least 4 points from those two games because I don't think they will get a point from the last 4. If they don't get 4 points I can see them being in the 3 spot with Cardiff and Fulham because I think Sunderland will get out of it. Winner of Norwich v West Brom will probably be safe. If West Brom lose, with Spurs and City their next too, they're in massive trouble. Yes that is the flip side of it, but WBA look a better side than Norwich with more confidence and fight in them.

useless Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 It isn't a guarantee that Norwich will lose all of their last four and I'd favour them to beat Albion at Carrow Road. Fulham losing too now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted March 30, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 30, 2014 I know it isn't a guaranteed I just personally don't think they will get anything from them if they've failed to get enough points from the next two. The opposition will be too good and the pressure too much. I think Albion will get something at Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Agreed West Brom generally score in most games, while Norwich have nothing in front of goal. I'd like a Norwich win but I don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Would love WBA to go. Remember how they lost all them games end of last season to try and sink us Wanky club, wanky small time fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 We'll have to see. Sunderland have games just as tough as Norwich's last four but I guess not having them all on the trot is a psychological advantage. Norwich haven't lost at Carrow Road in seven matches so maybe they're due a defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how they lost all them games end of last season to try and sink us Wanky club, wanky small time fans I don't disagree but then I could say similar about Norwich after the last couple of years.

useless Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Cardiff might have a chance of catching Albion and Palace aren't out of it just yet they've still some really tough fixtures and their 'easier' ones are away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 3 more points for us and it would mean the likes of Cardiff, Fulham and the rest of them would need 3-4 wins in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich are good at home but crap away. They win the games they have to at home and thats why i fancy they will beat West Brom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I know it isn't a guaranteed I just personally don't think they will get anything from them if they've failed to get enough points from the next two. The opposition will be too good and the pressure too much. I think Albion will get something at Norwich. I think after throwing away victory from being two goals up yesterday is a massive kick in the gonads for Sandwell Town. Speaking to a couple of their fans this morning, they are flat and fear the worst. Let's hope so. Edited March 30, 2014 by Robbie09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think Fulham would have made a better fistof stopping up if they had kept Jol tbh, Magath may be a highly rated manager but 10 games isn't enough to keep a team up, wonder if he will hang around to manage them in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers13 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I don't know if he endorses rubbish football as such, but makes the most of the limited talent he has available. He does but then he was at Stoke for long enough to buy a different type of player and he never really did. Much like Moyes, O'Neill, Fat Sam and many others managers have a style and even when they have more resources and better players they still often play the same way. To be fair he has altered his style at palace, and that might be why he's done better there compared to resources than he did at stoke. They still defend mostly and don't have tons of the ball, but a lot more of the quick attacks are based on the ground than they were at stoke, because he doesn't really have a target man.
