PFA Championship Team of the Year

[HenryC]

Fine by me - keep him under wraps.

Absolutely this... If any PL recruitment people are reading this then I can tell you that I have watched Bridcutt play all season AND HE IS RUBBISH. He can't tackle, can't pass, panics in possession, doesn't get on with his team mates or coaches and the fans hate him...

 

[Gwylan]

Chalobah should be surely.

Agree - amazed he's not in it

 

[Se20]

Wilf won the POTY as well !
Another feather in the cap for our academy .

I don't understand why people get so precious about this. It's voted for by the players themselves.

We see opposing players twice maximum (unless we play them in the cup).

But so do the players as you are not allowed to vote for your own team mates.

 

[LamieRobertson]

So they have four wingers making up the midfield? That makes sense.

Have to agree with you looks a bit daft

 

[yxee]

Accurate source then. Bogdan was dropped for a while, Lonergan was in the team for a while which happened to coincide with their upturn in form. Happily, Bolton have reinstated him now and they're scrapping for a position they could have sewn up if they'd stuck with the better keeper.

Bogdan

I thought he was injured, not dropped. How are highlights not an accurate source? Attributing Bolton's run of form to a keeper swap doesn't make sense to me, they were winning before the swap and continue to win after he returned.

Well done for being London based and offering a chance to young players. In spite of...

In spite of what ? ..

Fair point, but they play against them. They watch them in videos. They will see more of every single player than most of the fans who will proclaim that the voting is wrong.

In spite of was the wrong terminology.

I think you have benefited by being the most successful club in London, behind Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Fulham and Charlton in the Premier League years. Which top clubs produce decent players? None. They buy. Palace are a team that will give players an opportunity to play, because they can't afford to spend big. You're lucky to have a big pool of talent. It's not Crystal Palace that make a decent player.

As an aside, I'm struggling to think of more than a handful of players who could be referred to as top class.

So it's not the scouting and the coaching that makes the player ?
Well f**k me sideways ! Close the academy down, it's not needed anymore.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Completely spot on IMHO

I think a team like that would finish mid-table in the Prem!

I'm not suggesting it is not about scouting or coaching. I am merely suggesting that Palace are more likely to produce a decent quality player as they are well placed and offer better opportunities than other London clubs.

Of your recent successes, I can only think of Moses who is making a career for himself in the top flight. Who else?

Havent seen him since his was in Wayne Bridge's back pocket on March 17th.....

In fact i dont think hes actually been goo for you since he agreed that United move - makes that £15 Million you got for him look like a great deal, ripped off Fergie massively !!!

This is a fact. Palace do like to crow about their young players, but Moses is the only one who's made anything of himself, and only after a spell at Wigan.

There are 7 million people in London, and by the sheer law of averages, it's going to be considerably easier to find high class footballers than it is in less heavily populated areas.

 

[Hyperion]

Very good. Not heard that one before.

Unbelievable, the very first slither of a chance for you lot to come back on here and you're on it. No class or humility.

 

[El Turi]

I think the team was voted in February so that's why palace have 3 players in it. Trippier is a strange one as he looked absolutely terrible against Lua Lua when we played Burnley away.

 

[The Birdman]

No Bridcutt? Disgraceful

Lets hope every other club missed him as well and we don't sell him as he should have been in the team. Lets hope he has a blinder in the play offs to show he the best midfielder in the division.

And we have qualified for the play offs.
Another feather in the cap for our club.
