Crystal Palace (H) 2/11: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Wolftone]

I was going to post after the press conference when O'Neil said Johnstone and Lemina were ok, that meant they wouldn't be playing then!

 

[Haggstone]

yep as big as it gets really. no talk of wanting to lose this to get the manager out, that ship has sailed, lose this and we are gone I think.

 

[Del Woppio]

If he lines up with a back 5 against these I'm gonna be really, really pissed off.

Agreed.

We couldn’t have asked for a more piss-poor looking Palace.

 

[Jinky]

I reckon Johnstone has thrown his toys out the pram.

 

[Del Woppio]

WHERE'S YOUR PROOF

Up your ass to the left.

 

[Haggstone]

opinion or FAKT?

 

[Mel Evo]

I couldn’t care less about which of our mediocre keepers he picks, but I am bothered he can’t work out how to play Brazil’s starting central midfielder or decide between a 4 or 5 at the back. I’ll be delighted if Doyle proves me wrong - please please do.

Memories of the glory days whenever Hennessey wasn't in the team.

"He's had a bost up ay he"

Then eventually it actually did happen

Good big block or two of empty seats in the Steve Bull

 

[Jinky]

With the results elsewhere, I’d love to know if Gaz still thinks this isn’t a “must win”.

 

[Mel Evo]

Which I’ve only just realised is them

Looks like this is a 3 at the back to match Palace and keep it tight for 70 mins as much as possible. Then let Forbs loose and hope to grab a winner.I was hoping for a more open game from us but it is a must win and this is the usual fodder you get from managers under pressure.

A weakened Palace side is a huge opportunity for points but we all know how games like this have gone for us in the past.

It is odd that he's said he's fine and then not even put him on the bench though?

 

[prawnking]

Nice positive start, good atmos

 

[Squeak]

I just don't get it. Palace give us a daft free kick and we go backwards and put ourselves under pressure, eventually kicking it out of play instead of looking to go forward. Just what do coaches and players think?

 

[The Bear]

Ref misses a clear foul and booking on Cunha even though it was right in front of him.

 

[Del Woppio]

Fuck me that's good defending
