Palace 1-1 draw
Swansea 1-2 defeat
Sunderland 0-2 defeat
Arsenal  0-3 defeat
Liverpool 0-3 defeat

Wish I hadn't bothered now :(

I'd say that was defeatist but given current form, sadly it's entirely possible.
It'd be bloody nice to beat Palace just to break the losing run though and shift us over 20 points. But every home game is a complete slog.

Far too optimistic. We will never get the point against Palace.

We are unbelievably bad and the more I look back on our games this season, the more I think relegation is on the cards. Take away the extremely lucky results against Man City and Southampton and we'd be in a position that would still be false and not give the overall picture of how bad we are.

Christ that is about as bloody over the top as I have seen yet.

We may get relegated, but at the weekend Stoke were just as bad as us really, and Palace been awful this season even compared to us. We have been bad, but to suggest if we had 13 points we would be lucky, is very harsh.

Before the weekend I had predicted 6-7 from the next three - with one of those having now passed in dreary fashion, i'm less optimistic.

4-6 and I think we'll be lucky with that.

Harsh? Its entirely idiotic.

"Only the results where we lose count!!!!!"

If we'd lost all our games this season, then we would be bottom of the league.

I agree , it's not right to say we should be on 13 points as were lucky to beat city and saints- we have what we deserve to have at the end of the day .

We sure as hell deserved a result at Chelsea and have been unlucky on other occasions, our points tally reflects our season accurately at the moment but the concern is that we appear to be slipping on form and performance in recent games.

I don't think it is. Let's look at the results where we've won points this season:

Arsenal - play that games another 9 times and we lose them all
Norwich - although I didn't see this, from what I remember, we could've quite easily not won
Man City - play that game another 99 times and we would lose quite comfortably
Hull - again, didn't see it, but sounded awful
West Ham - see above
Cardiff - we were very poor and were only saved by a great moment from Bacuna, debatable whether we would've won it were it not for that outstanding free-kick
West Brom - should've been 4-0 at half-time, though admittedly we did do very well to come back in the second half
Sunderland - we were shit
Southampton - see Man City game

We are so poor it's embarrassing and I honestly think it's completely possible that we will not win another point going into February.

Unless...Lambert gets us playing how we were towards the end of last season, but that's not looking likely at the moment.

There's no hiding the fact that we are shockingly bad.

I also think we were good enough to take a point off Liverpool, but the games we've played ok is very, very few.

I think we'll get -10 points over the next five games. We'll enter administration because of Bowery's crippling wages, and then have to have a points deduction put in place which will send us down.

Frightening. Luis could hit double figures in that game if he's facing a left side of Baker and Luna.

The palace game is crucial for restoring confidence. If we don't beat palace I think we're in big trouble

I'd honestly rather the next two were an Away double header too. I'd fancy 2-4 points were that the case. I think Swansea will have a little too much nous for us. Palace we need an early goal to settle the nerves, but if they score first it could be a long evening. The last thing we want is to be huffing and puffing trying desperately to get a goal in any way possible other than cohesive passing.

Yes we are so poor at home, only plan seems to be 7 or 8 short square balls across the defence before somebody panics and hoofs it aimlessly into the air.
