I think we are in good shape and with two home games to come could go higher...

So to the nay sayers, piss off and support Palace if you want to moan, you have no clue of what it means to support a team and no idea what you are on about either...

 

[Lord Bracknell]

As things currently stand ... the Albion have not scored a single goal (home or away) against any team that is currently in the top half of the table.

It's now six goals - equal with Barnsley and Ipswich. But it's still the case that no team in this division has scored fewer goals than the Albion against teams currently in the top half of the table.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We are now 4 points better off than after 17 games last season.
On a fixture basis we are 2 points better off than last season omitting promoted/relegated sides, or 5 points better off than last season if you switch them
(Reading/Bolton; Southampton/Blackburn; West Ham/Wolves; Portsmouth/Charlton; Coventry/Sheff Wed; Doncaster/Hudderfield)

We have played 8 of the top 12 (47% of our games)
We have won 11 of our 27 points against teams currently in the top 12. (41% of our points)
We have won 9 points against teams who were in the top 12 when we played them.
We are joint fifth for number of points won against the current top 12 (with B'Burn (from 7 games), B'pool (8), C'ton (9), C'Pal (7), and M'wall (9))
We are joint sixth for points per game against top 12 teams (with B'pool)

I like those facts.

 

[Jim D]

What about goals conceded? I would think our 6 in 8 games would compare well against other teams.

[Acker79]

10/18 points versus the top three teams.

Played 9 games against opponents when they are in the top six and taken 14 (of 27) points.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

All this gloom about not beating the top teams, and now we have beaten all the top 3 at some point this season.
