Their next six matches are against teams currently in the bottom seven...he's a totally uninspiring choice long-term but all they need is to win a couple of those six matches and they're basically home free. Mediocrity is all they really need at this point, and Hodgson knows the side and is a reliable font of mediocrity.
Palace have had a horrible run of fixtures since the World Cup. And now therefore basically have a very nice run in. Vieira would have kept them up without a doubt. This however, makes things interesting. Think Palace have pushed the panic button unnecessarily.
Yeah nothing will happen, absolute worst will be some kind of transfer ban, which they’ll argue they basically did last summer/Jan anyway
Big weekend, a few 6 pointers for the nervy nine. Hopefully we can keep our decent form going and let the other results take care of themselves.
