KentVillan Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Palace rode their luck first half of the season. Their current form in their last 10 is DLWDDDDLLL - that's 9 points from 10 games, and only 2 points from the last 5. Their next 4 games are 6 pointers: Newcastle, Brighton, Watford, Bournemouth. If they only manage 2 or 3 points out of those, they'll be in very bad shape. Big game for us against them on 25 April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two wins will see them almost safe. If they drew all that would be fantastic from all respects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People would prefer a Brighton win but all that does is pull them further away from us IMO. I'd prefer to have more teams in and around us than to solely be battling it out with 1 or 2. It would give us more of a chance in my opinion. I think a defeat would make it hard for Watford to follow up. I know we can’t depend on Man Utd this season but still it can’t be considered as an easy fixture for Watford. If Brighton won today, then Watford could very well be on 23 points after two rounds. Even if we managed two points from our next two (and zero the week later as it will be postponed), that would put us 4 points above them with a game in hand. Palace will play a huge part themselves. They’ll either help some teams to relegate or find themselves relegating. Brighton in the other hand have some hard fixtures coming but they’re capable of getting results. They also have 26 so far. A draw would be fantastic but even a Brighton win would be ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I wouldn't worry about Brighton winning today and pulling away from us, in that scenario we would have to have to beat Tottenham next weekend just to climb out of the bottom three, which would take us back to within a point of Brighton anyway.

KentVillan Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The best result in a six-pointer is always a draw for us. 2 points gained from the game instead of 3. Brighton are still close enough to the relegation zone that I don't think we want them pulling away with a win. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Watford 1-0 up. Mooy lost it in midfield and Doucoure ran from just inside Brighton’s half to score. Brighton’s defence just backed off and let him do it. Now where have I seen defending like that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Well Watford winning now, and we're in the relegation zone, anyone who prefers that over a Brighton win is crazy. Next two games for us Tottenham at home and Southampton away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Brighton suffer the same problems as us. They aren't defensively sound which doesn't bode well in a relegation fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea in 4th have shipped 34. The bottom 3 (and Southampton thanks to that 0-9 game) are a bit worse still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 This season is so brutal. Still brighton have a tough home run (tougher than us given they still have Man. City and Liverpool to play at home) so they look very vulnerable with a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) A Watford loss today would have given us a chance to go five points clear of them next weekend, with the bonus that if we failed to beat Spurs or even get a draw, we'd still be outside of the relegation zone. All a Brighton win does, is leave us in the bottom three, and even if we win next weekend we'd still only be two points clear. All we should be worrying about is getting as far away from the eighteenth place as possible. Right now a Brighton win would feel almost as valuable as a Villa win, and they'd still only be four points ahead of us.

All that matters is the relegation zone at the end of the season... and definitely not one where half the teams have played an extra game. A draw between Watford and Brighton would have us out of the relegation zone, and Brighton looking in trouble. A win for Brighton gets an out-of-form team closer to safety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The ideal would be Deeney and Maupay having a punch up and getting banned for the rest of the season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Brighton losing, keeps a team in free fall continuing to drop. And Watford are only 1 pt ahead. Draw would be ideal but I've no problem with watford winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
