Crystal Palace dropped another three points in the Premier League this weekend after losing to Sheffield United. It was a narrow 1-0 loss, but enough to earn Chris Wilder’s side the win. It extends Palace’s record to seven games without a win in all competitions. In their last 11, they have only won once.
But that wasn’t the only record on Crystal Palace fans’ minds. HLTCO tweeted out a damning record to the fans, exposing the Eagles’ inability to score. They rank 20th in the league for goals scored at home, joint-13th in the league for away goals scored and 20th for overall goals scored. The record will come as a serious concern for the fans.

Sorloth has almost scored as many goals on his own, (19) as the entire palace 1st team…you honestly couldn’t make it up if you wanted to

Do you think Crystal Palace will finish closer to Europe or relegation?
Europe
Relegation
Others are more positive and look at their goals against record. Not all fans are convinced though.
Overall goals conceded = 29. 5th BEST in prem, I think ?

And 6 points off relegation, look at our remaining fixtures

What do we think?
The club are in limbo at the moment. While they are only seven points off a spot in Europe, they are also just six points away from relegation (Sky Sports). It is clear that goalscoring is a serious concern for the side which, in all honesty, seems to be quite comfortable at the back conceding just 29 times this season.
