It would leave Leeds six points behind us with two games left - and a worse goal difference by more than fifteen. We'd be safe all bar the shouting.

I warned you, Leeds. Should've listened.

The owners, with their Brentford links, can't fail to notice the increasingly stark difference between the state of the club they left and their new toy. The youth set up seems to be in decent health right now. It's the first team that's going nowhere but down if they don't change something.

That's a massive if.

Time to start watching Burnley, Everton and Leeds' results. Need a few favours - we aren't picking up any more points this season.

At least he kept them up.

Ferry's spent the season on loan at Crawley in League Two. Seems to play every week in some capacity, but for an offensive player, a return of 1 goal and 3 assists doesn't suggest he's going to come back here and make an impact any time soon.

FWIW I think Hasenhuttl's football is shite most of the time. If the press doesn't work, or we're too knackered to play with the required intensity, there's fuck all else to us. Just slow sideways and backwards passing with little in the way of creativity. Set pieces are our only real hope. It's crap and predictable. I think he's done his time. We're not progressing. We look stale. Handshakes, thanks for the memories, and move on.

It's a very realistic possibility that we won't get another point and finish on 40. And Everton can get 47 if they win their remaining games (which they won't). Burnley can get 46 (which they won't). But Leeds are the ones to watch. Appalling goal difference. They'll need 7 points to overtake us. From 4 games (Arsenal, Chelsea, Brighton, Brentford), with no fit strikers and injuries all over the squad. They're in deep shit.

Terrible goalkeeping. We've been increasingly poor. Palace playing to win. Fuck knows what we're doing.

Bit fortuitous to be 1-0 at half time, IMO. Palace the better team. Real lack of quality going forward. Tella's not at this level, Long works hard but is a shadow of the (not particularly good) player he used to be, Adams is no threat, Redmond has had a few nice touches but nothing of substance. Midfield looks leggy. Prowse got outpaced by Joel Ward, who's about a hundred years old and never had any pace even when he was young. A lot to do to close this game out in the second half.

He was at the start of the season.

By the looks of things he was holding Burnley back all this time...

That was as shit as it gets. Disorganised. Unmotivated. No quality whatsoever. I guess we'll find out about our new owners' mettle in the coming weeks - surely they can't continue to tolerate the abysmal standard of performances over the past couple of months. None of them good enough to wear the shirt tonight.

This is the kind of performance that ends up with a manager leaving "by mutual consent" at the end of the season. We'd be six down if it weren't for Forster. Against fucking Burnley! What a disgrace.

Gambling on the new manager bounce, I guess. Two wins could be all they need - Everton aren't picking up many more points.

Good lad. It'd be great if he could make a match squad or two before the end of the season.

He filled his non-scuffed quota for the season against Villa back in November. It's just shanks, shinners, and air shots from this point.

Are you doing our team talks?

Imagine losing to three crap teams in a row- all below us in the league. Really is feast or famine under Hasenhuttl.

We've been atrocious this half. No shape or pattern of play. Really poor from everyone.

1-1 h/t. Not really at the races early on, before a quick flurry where Broja missed a sitter and Armstrong scored. Then we went back into our shell and Wood equalised with about as basic a Wood goal as you'll ever see. Finished the half quite well - seem to have finally woken up. Broja out of sorts today. Even aside from his miss, his touch hasn't been there. Salisu's been a bit wobbly too. Don't think much of Newcastle, but I'm sure we'll manage find a way to gift them this.

Pretty tepid start. We don't exactly look full of beans.

He has to be sold this summer if he doesn't extend his contract, if we want to make a substantial profit on the deal. That's just the reality. I imagine he'll stay in England, though.
