Can they change that away record when they travel to West Ham on Sunday?
Mark Lawrenson said that away from home their performances have been all over the place.
They just need to find some kind of backbone, but I don't know where. Frank has tried a lot of formations, but they haven't worked.
Lawro is making predictions for all the top-flight matches this season.
Jim Piddock is an actor, writer, producer and Crystal Palace fan who has a new book out.
When he founded the Crystal Palace Supporters Trust, Piddock was a lifelong Eagles fan who helped save the club from bankruptcy.
The life at Selhurst Park is a lot better these days, with the young side progressing to the FA Cup semi-finals and gaining plenty of admirers.
Having supported Palace for more than 50 years, Piddock said these are "Halcyon days".
There have been many highs and lows along the way. I remember when we won the Championship play-offs at Wembley in 2013 and I knew the club's owners - Steve Parish, Steve Browett, Jeremy Hosking and Martin Long.
I knew what it meant to the club because my heart rate was in double rhythm by the end of that.
We had been close to extinction a couple of years before, so achieving this was incredible.
I was crying at the end, but it was the first time that I didn't just look at things as a fan. I was aware of the financial side and how important it was to the club.
I was drained at the end of it, and finally my heart went back into a normal rhythm, but I was overwhelmed.
When Palace's previous three promotions had been followed by a return to the second tier, they stayed in the league.
It has been an incredible rise, but we have been really solid and this is our ninth successive season in the top flight.
Steve Parish has been brilliant as chairman, and the decisions and choices he has made have grown the club. If he makes a mistake, he quickly corrects it.
I'm not just talking about managers. Steve brought in a new director of football in the form of Dougie Freedman, who is very strict in his study of young players and their development.
You can see how much influence both men have had on the club from the young players that have come through. There are no bad apples at the club and you can see that in our team.
What they have done with the academy is extraordinary. I can't say enough about how good a place the club is in, and how exciting a time it is for all Palace fans.

A correct result is worth 10 points. 40 points is earned by the exact score.
Results are all that matter in the title race.
They have won nine games in a row, but they have to forget about the noise and focus on this game. They will break down the Hornets on Saturday because we know how Roy will set them up.
I don't think the Reds will have a lot of trouble there.
After getting a good win atSouthampton on 13 March, we have seen them put in a disappointing performance in their next game. I would be surprised if they held out for 90 minutes.
Lawro predicted a score of 2-0.
Jim predicted a score of four.
I don't think the Canaries have a chance now that they have given themselves hope of staying up.
Even though the Canaries have lost six games in a row, we know where they will be next season.
They have lost six in a row and only scored once during that run.
They are playing a game. If the Seagulls are going to break their scoring hoodoo, they will do it at home.
I think they will score twice on Saturday, but I think they will have to go for it and that will increase their chances of getting another one. That is my theory anyway!
Lawro predicted 2-0.
Palace fans will hate me for this, but I have never seen Brighton as a rival. I have always felt that Millwall and Charlton are more competitive than us. I don't have a vendetta against the Seagulls. I love it when we beat them.
If you are going to win the league at Turf Moor, you have to go there and win.
This City side have been in this situation many times under the leadership ofPep Guardiola and I would back them to come back with the three points.
Lawro's prediction was 0-2.
Jim predicted 0-3.
The two wins they got before the international break gave them breathing space above the bottom three.
I am not surprised that Ivan Toney has started scoring again now that Christian Eriksen is in the team. They will win more games because of the way Eriksen puts the ball where the player wants it.
Not this one. Even though everything is happening at the club off the field and their forwards have started scoring again, they have hit a decent amount of form.
Lawro predicted 2-0.
Jim predicted a win.
It's a big blow to have Patrick out injured again, but at least they have a bit of confidence after winning their past two games.
Their 3-2 victory at Wolves last time out was a crazy game, but a great watch, and you just know Jesse Marsch's side will have a real go again at Elland Road this time.
It is hard to know what to expect from Saints because they seem to go from being on a good run to being on a bad one. An entertaining draw is probably not a bad shout.
Lawro predicted a score of 1-2.
Jim predicted 2-2.
I will be going for another draw here. Villa have lost nine of their 11 games against the teams above them in the table so far this season, but they are only one place below Wolves and these two teams are pretty well-matched, quality-wise.
Lawro predicted a score of 1-2.
Jim had a prediction.
In their last game of the season, Manchester United beat Spurs 3-2 but didn't play particularly well and got out of jail thanks to a brilliant individual performance by CR7
The quality of the United team means you think they have to get it right at some point, and they are still in the running for fourth place.
That is the reason I am backing them to beat Leicester. The season before, the Foxes had a very different campaign.
Lawro predicted 2-0.
Jim predicted a 2-0 victory.
I think there are at least three worse teams than the ones that will go down. That's the only thing keeping them out of the drop zone.
They are not good enough defensively. They make too many mistakes and if you can't defend in the premier league then you have no chance.
West Ham is solid even when they don't play well. They lost at Spurs last time out, but that game was a few days after they beat Sevilla in the Europa League, which was great for them.
Lawro's prediction was 2-1.
Jim predicted a score of 3-1.
I feel like the run could be an indifferent one.
I am concerned that a few of the players might think that the job is done and they are safe, even though the team has lost two games in a row.
They need to maintain their form and show manager Eddie Howe they can be relied upon on a regular basis.
The next few games will be interesting and could tell us something about the characters in the squad.
I think that Spurs will win this game, but I don't think they will make the top four.
When they look like a team who have just met for the first time, there is always poor performance around the corner. It is what Spurs do.
Lawro predicted 2-0.
Jim predicted a score of 3-1.
Crystal Palace are playing well at the moment and they will need more of the same steel that has gotten them through some tight games, especially away from home.
The way the Eagles play is very structured, but in a fluid way, and their attacks come from either side with lots of width.
They will cause a lot of problems, but Mikel Arteta's side are dangerous too. This should be a good game and a very close one.
Lawro predicted a score of 1-2.
If we lose this game, Jim will go on the Highbury Squad podcast with Kevin Campbell so they will give him a lot of stick. I am playing it safe with my prediction. It was a one-sided affair.
Lawro and Jim were talking to Chris.
Lawro and Mez both got one correct result from four games, for a total of 10 points, in the last set of games before the international break.
The points earned will be added to the overall score.
Lawro predicted the winner of the FA Cup quarter-finals on the same weekend. The results that Mez was correct with do not count towards their tally.
