That's the problem with playing one up front. I think for the second cross José was on the same flank as where the cross had come from as he had originally won the ball in midfield.
I suppose we can't have everything we set up not to concede means it's hard to get players in the opposition...
After the promise of a display of quick Aussie bowling ending English batters careers was it all just bravado or has the groundsman just produced a slow and low wicket. I know Brisbane has had a bit of rain but the wicket was far from a traditional fast and bouncy track.
Personally I wouldn't have Bruno marking at corners in the six yard box we have enough height to cope in Dunk, Duffy, Murray, Stephens and Propper.
It's not a criticism but an observation, Bruno does tend to block at set prices rather than attack the ball as someone previously stated maybe that...
Close season Palace fans I know all said that Murray won't be up to the Premier, four months in and they are regretting selling him.
Always nice to be wise after the event.
With the target of forty points we are doing well at present, maybe in-front on the predicted target line. Yes, we could (you could argue should) have won against Everton (h) and Watford (a) however we could have lost to Southampton and Stoke but showed character to gain a point in each game...
Just play as we have all season and keep it tight and play on the break. CH says the two games we have learned the most from are Man City and Arsenal if this is the case we must try to retain the ball better than we did.
I can see it as damage limitation and the bus being well and truly parked.
I think that is our style away from home, you could argue also at home, we are set up not to conceed. We can't go to Utd with a weaken side and risk a good beating our goal difference is currently worth the equivalent of a point.
LBC Radio reckon three teams worse than Palace in the division and that they will avoid the drop. Commentators reckon West Ham will go. From bits of the match I heard the second half was scrappy but they raved about Zaha and Loftus Cheek.
Looks like the Aussies are hoping to knock us over with pure pace and have taken an eye off the batting.
Get through Warner and Smith early and we have a chance.
Stick to the same starting XI. As much as I hate squad rotation I can see some changes to the starting XI in December. That said the changes won't be to the spine of the side but on the flanks.
So you are saying these are fraud tickets and nothing to do with the club or fans selling on to ticket agents or touts? Did I read something about some of our home tickets being sold on Ticketmaster?
I would only buy tickets direct from the clubs as I stated in my OP I know our fans aren't...
Spoke to a Palace fan last night who told me several fans have bought tickets on-line through a third party agent, I thought this was complete tosh so just checked Google. Tickets available to anyone on two sites tickx.co.uk and ticketbis.net
I know from reading on here that several of our...
With the Albion not playing today anyone taking in a game?
I'm going to watch local side Whyteleafe at home to Pheonix Sport in the Bostik South Division, free admission to anyone with Premier or Championship season tickets. With that £10 saved I'll just have to sample the pie and pint on offer.
It's not too bad for me getting back to Caterham however you do have to ask the question why an 8pm kick off. It sounds like a nightmare after the game, surely an earlier kick off would make it easier for fans to reach a destination.
After the record attendance against Bournemouth they had...
I've given a seven, cracking start and I'm sure most would agree better than expected. The spine of the side is getting stronger with every game, Ryan is looking better with every game and is starting to inspire confidence. Duffy and Dunk well it's and been said before both on NSC and in the...
