villalad21 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I do admire the way Norwich approach games, but it is going to get them relegated. They don't got enough quality to get away with a playing style like that, not at this level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 For all the talk of Norwich and their injury crisis eight of the players that started today, Amadou, Godfrey, Lewis, McLean, Buendia, Stiepermann, Cantwell, Pukki, all started in their win over Man City, and two of the players that came off the bench today, Drmic and Srbeny, also came off the bench against City. Aarons would have played against City as well if he'd have been fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Our goal difference is good as well compared to the teams below. That could be vital as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one of those teams have a genuine chance of a top half finish. Norwich, imo, are the first team that we have faced that are going to be "in and around us" and we smashed them. I've seen enough to give me confidence that we can stay up. faced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 We are currently a mid table team once you factor in the few points stolen from us by dodgy refereeing and awful VAR decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Palace haven't finished lower than 15th since they were promoted six seasons ago. I wasn't expecting them to start this well, but saw them as having more than a very good chance of surviving, Hodgson is a good manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton remind me of us a season before we went down, fingers crossed the can turn it around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking this earlier. Also most teams above us if we catch them will have worse goal difference as well so could help us climb if we carry on winning.

Also shows our performance down there wasn't that bad considering the ref screwed us over at every opportunity throughout the 90 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Wouldn't go as far as calling Hodgson a good manager. Pretty much in the Allardyce mold. Will do the job but mid table is all you can hope for really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Allardyce is a good manager as well, took Everton from the relegation zone to seventh a couple of seasons ago. I wouldn't call him a similar manager to Hodgson though, not so much with Palace but Hodgson's teams usually play pretty good football, I think it's lazy to band him in with the other British football dinosaurs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Everton on the quiet are starting to look well dodgy. That would be a shocking relegation if they don't improve. That swanky stadium would suffer a big delay for sure. Edited October 5, 2019 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get a good result against Brighton, then not get smashed by Citeh and Plop I guess we’ll be looking like a team will complete the reasonable GD.
