Well I hope I'm talking bollocks, but I actually see a full strength Palace as the 7th best team in the league, certainly attacking wise.

Cabaye Milivojevic
Zaha Loftus-Cheek Townsend
Benteke

..on form, is pretty lethal. I've not looked if they're all fit but I believe the situation is a lot brighter than it was a couple of weeks ago.

And because of this, I can actually see us losing this, which will be really damaging to us.

That's not to say that I think we've been crap lately, quite the opposite (we were very unlucky against Swansea last week), but the memory of losing 1-4 at home to West Ham, who similarly had a quality attack fit and on form that day, is still fresh in my mind. We couldn't deal with them on the counter. We are in better form than we were then though.

A win on the other hand, and 34 points with 7 games to go, would see us within touching distance of safety IMO. So yeah, slightly bricking it!

I agree although they need an upgrade on Benteke who’s completely lost his way since his Villa days. If Palace do survive I think they’ll be top 10 under Hodgson next season. They just need to overcome these injuries and scrape to safety.

A tigerish Huddersfield against a well organised Palace, has to be a draw I say.

Huddersfield 2 Palace 2

Sucks being right sometimes.
