According to Parish, the difference between a successful season and a relegation-threatened season often comes down to winning a few key games.

He noted that Palace has already lost several key players, including Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze, and Wilfred Zaha, but has managed to adapt and stay competitive.

Parish also reflected on the decision to block Guehi's potential move to Liverpool on deadline day, describing it as a "very marginal call."

Guehi was reportedly interested in joining Liverpool, but he was understanding of the decision to keep him at Palace.

Parish emphasized that Guehi has the freedom to choose his next destination when his contract expires in June.
