lancyclaret Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 How would Palace be doing in the Championship this season with no Zaha and few if any big signings? I reckon lower mid-table.
cityfanlee23 Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Depends really... if olly was in charge? mid-lower table... If Pulis? Playoffs
foxer Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Depends really... if olly was in charge? mid-lower table... If Pulis? Playoffs Yeah but Pulis wouldn't have taken the Palace job if they weren't in the Prem.
cityfanlee23 Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Yeah but Pulis wouldn't have taken the Palace job if they weren't in the Prem. I know just making it interesting Difficult to say so thought I'd compare with 2 different managers!
Dan Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 They'd probably still have Holloway - so nowhere near as well as we've done. I think both the Premier League and Championship in 2012/13 was as weak as I can remember either of them. We were nowhere near worthy of a promotion last year.

But if Knockaert had scored that penalty??????????? Who knows? Pulis might be your manager now.

Their promotion was based on all his good work and now look at the poor bloke!
LC/FC Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 I'm not fond of things like this only because he inherent flaw is that there are no defined parameters to make a plausible suggestion, therefore it basically desolves down to "Where would you have 'liked' Crystal Palace to have finished?" And personally? with Ollie in charge? 24th... sorry Ollie.
lancyclaret Posted 26 February 2014 Author Posted 26 February 2014 Freedman at struggling Bolton Holloway at struggling Millwall Zola sacked as Watford under-perform Garcia struggling to match Poyet at Brighton. Apart from Poyet, all have seen their careers go backwards.
Corky Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Holloway's best job was at Blackpool, he took them up from nowhere really, can't fault him there. Apart from that he struggles when taking over failing clubs, QPR he couldn't keep up and took three years to return, we all know what happened with us and at Millwall there's been no new manager bounce. At Palace they ended the season nearly as badly as we did in the last 10 games or so. They'd be mid-table now, like Watford.

lgfualol Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 We'd probably have 1 point in the premiership
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Holloway has to be one of the most over rated managers ever
Brainy Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Winning promotion with two clubs with less than one year at the helm with two clubs used to finishing mid to low table? Constantly over-achieving with Plymouth? Just cause he took us down with what we all admit was our worst squad for frickin ages (or since the season before) doesn't make him a bad manager.
Simonb Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 We'd probably have 1 point in the premiership i hope thats a joke, theres a serious lack of quality in the prem this season bar the top 4, theres points up for grabs off anyone at home and anyone below 7th away
lancyclaret Posted 26 February 2014 Author Posted 26 February 2014 Holloway reminds me a bit of Stan Ternent (Burnley boss between 1998 and 2004). Always good for a quote and not afraid to do something out of the ordinary. In his first season at Burnley, we lost 6-0 at home to Gillingham and Ternent sacked 5 players at half-time, telling the after-match press conference that these 5 players would never wear a Burnley shirt again. He stuck to his word. In 2001 at Bramall Lane, Ternent found Blackwell (then Warnock's assistant) eavesdropping his half-time team talk. Ternent caught Blackwell red-handed and a brawl ensued.
lgfualol Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 i hope thats a joke, theres a serious lack of quality in the prem this season bar the top 4, theres points up for grabs off anyone at home and anyone below 7th away Okay 8 points, two wins against Man United and a point at home to Stoke
Brauny Fox Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 Okay 8 points, two wins against Man United and a point at home to Stoke Nice one Vorderman!

His tactics are appalling, before he went to Blackpool he was known for making his teams play ultra negative football, he then 'reinvented' himself after taking us to our lowest ever position, and now the media continually lick his arse
lancyclaret Posted 26 February 2014 Author Posted 26 February 2014 If we go up, I hope we beat our AWAY points tally the last time we were there - only 4 points (4-1 at Hull and 3-3 at Man City). We won 5 of our first 6 home games, but it all went horribly wrong from there and we ended up with 30 points - 6 away from safety. I enjoyed it up to November - after that, with Coyle jumping ship and being replaced by Brainless Brian (Laws), all Bunley fans knew we were going down.

You have an actual Manager instead of a Shyster in charge this time round. Add a good defender and midfielder to your side and I think you'll have a really good team

Dan Posted 26 February 2014 Posted 26 February 2014 But if Knockaert had scored that penalty??????????? Who knows? Pulis might be your manager now. I'd rather have Pearson personally. If Knockaert had scored it would've sparked unbelievable scenes (pitch invasion was waiting) in our end but I still don't think we'd have been worthy of promotion. Watford completely blew it. They should've walked it last year with that squad.
