Lots of talk that our game on 15 December might need to move again due to Carabao cup game. We cant play Arsenal on Wednesday as they have a womens Champions league game at the Emirates that night. so would probably have to be Tuesday, and surely we would not be expected to play twice in 3...
Well it wasnt quite Villa reserves, as they played McGinn, Dhuran, Bailey, and had Mings and Bentacura returning from long term injuries, but when they were a goal down, they took off 3 of those for teenagers, so I dont think they were that bothered about the game.
So finally a return to the high pressing game of last season, and ditching the Eddie and Kamada experiment, and hey presto, a much better performance. Victory just about deserved, although Spurs were really poor, and a better side would have found an equaliser in the last 10 minutes when we ran...
I think Johnstone is better at commanding the box, whereas Henderson is a better shot stopper (Monday apart), and Henderson was the man in possession, so Johnstone asked to leave. Cant blame him, but I think I agree we lost the better keeper. Hopefully Joe Whitworth continues to develop at Exeter
Glasner is insistent on 3 at the back, but neither Mitchell or Munoz are comfortable as wing backs. Munoz is missing Olise, as when he goes forward now, he looks lost and turns around and goes back. We've not settled on a regular back 3, which doesnt help, and I dont think it suits Guehi, who...
As I said last week, what could go wrong? Well everything! You win at Newcastle, and we lose at Forest. I didnt think we were that bad at Forest, and bbc website had Forest keeper as man of the match, but we are short on confidence, and as soon as we went behind, the game was gone. Players...
I'm struggling to find words to dispute anything posted in the last 24 hours...
Roll on the weekend and the next games, where Brighton are away to Newcastle, and Palace are away to Forest. What could possibly go wrong
I did say partly offset by. Of course its not the same, but we take what we can get, especially as it looked so unlikely in March, and especially after a 4-1 beating at the Amex. As others said, we are way more similar than city, Chelski etc who just throw money at the problem until it works
Lets be honest, if the roles were reversed, and we had taken 4 points ff you, but then finished below you, similar conversations would be going on. Our teams ARE of similar size and realistic projections, and as supporters, we will look for any opportunity to take any bragging rights. European...
At half time last Saturday, everything looked good, as we were winning at Everton and Chelsea were already 4-2. Then in the second half the team didnt bother turning up for the first 15 minutes, and we were 2-1 down, and then had no clue how to get back in the game. We went back to the...
That 3rd place finish doesnt count apparently, or at least it didnt last time I raised it. Of course, but for the weak willed FA who caved in and let Liverpool back in, we would have had our own European tour, although we probably wouldnt have had 4 games, as it was straight knockout those...
Is it necessary to post that? A Palace fan died as an indirect result of this incident, and the animosity between the 2 clubs fans it caused.
RIP Paul Nixon
It appears that I was wooshed over the consistently finishing above you comment, as even though we finished 1 place higher due to goal difference I should have realised it was bait
Congratulations on the European tour, and the unbeaten start to this season.
I accept that last season was...
Squad, subjective, these are rankings based on people's opinions
Owner/Strategy subjective as they are opinions
Fact, I know many fans who dont see us as in your shadow, but waiting for the bubble to burst. 2 points against tinpot Ipswich and Forest must be disappointing. I'm sure you would...
Ground - its our ground, we own it, and yes it needs a bit of modernisation, but I'd rather that than some soulless bowl on the edge of town
Squad - 2-3 players that would make your best 15 is subjective, as I would say maybe only 2-3 would make our best 15
Owner - Parish is the owner as far as...
Higher attendances agreed
Better ground Subjective, I would say no
Better squad Subjective, how do you define it?
Better owners Subjective, what makes you think Bloom is better than Parish
Better Strategy Subjective please explain what your strategy is
Unbeaten this season agreed
There was a...
