I hope March pays Biss’s yellow card fine after that crap free kick!
 






Some nice football in midfield without a huge amount of penetration undermined by a silly defensive mistake. Sums up the season so far and sums up much of Potter’s football. Hope we can turn it around in second half

Sadly this has now settled into that football classic of a possession and passing team, up against a team leading who put huge numbers in defence and steal goals on the counter.

Not a criticism of Potter, but once we go a goal down against counter attackers, what tactics can he employ?

We rarely do clean sheets, which is a big hindrance. As much as I prefer GP to CH’a brand of football, I wish we were a nightmare to score against.

Oh yeah. Totally. But it’s one of those blame the game, not the player situations.
As soon as we didn’t score Early despite dominating, something like that was always going to happen.
Concede a goal, hard luck story.
Palace are streetwise, we are a bit green.
I fear for us now, as palace are good at stinking the place out once they’ve got a goal in the bank.

How are we always green though? Different teams down the years constantly get accused of this? Why don’t we ever have a manager who ****ing bollocks naivety like it should be? Because you lose matches with it. Again. And again. So they need to be much much much better at it or be dropped.

Missing Alzate badly, really not sure about White in midfield.

And Trossard has to get into the game, been anonymous.

March has been very good as per usual.


Agree with first two points

Massively disagree with the 3rd.... easy to defend against March, just show him onto his right foot and he has nothing.
