I’m usually quite confident going into the palace matches but our performances have been inconsistent and we still have a lot of injuries whereas they only have a couple of first team players out. I’d imagine they’ll be more fired up than us as we have bigger fish to fry this season.

He’s not stropping a la Poyet, but he’s been pretty clear there that reinforcements are (in his mind) needed.
It’s not just what’s needed though, it’s who’s available and an achievable target. He knows the club’s MO, but I would guess he wants a more oven-ready Caicedo replacement than Baleba, full back(s?) and some cover on the wings. I’m wondering if Mitoma’s having to play within himself to avoid injury.
Alternatively, let’s just clone Hinshelwood and play him all over the pitch. (sorry @dwayne)
Hilariously, striker is the one position we have sorted.

No stropping but I very much doubt we will be hearing the “happy to work with what we have” line if some decent signings aren’t incoming in January. In fairness would any of us blame him if he felt he’d taken us as far as he can if he’s not backed? Yes I also realise it may be too tall an order to get exactly the quality of players he needs in January.
But hey ho, I will sit back, enjoy and hope the ride continues for a while yet and see what the window brings.
Do we? I'd imagine it means more to the fans but once the match starts the players know quite profoundly that a win in any way is needed.

Do you honestly think RDZ and Dunky will let the players be anything other than 100% fired up tonight? If anything, we need to keep our composure and exploit the fact we have the better players and better tactics.

Going all in on crippled
It's going to be like a war out there. We don't have many players that are fully fit. I'm not optimistic about this one.

Dunky will score a knuckle ball free kick in front of the holmesdale. Mark my words.

We have exactly the same team that battled against Marseille bar Veltman who didn’t come on until the last few minutes. We have to adapt and get on with it.

I will be asleep for this one and expect to wake and find 3 more points on the table.
When you put it like that. Grim !
Mitoma hopeless at the moment
Adingra form fallen off a cliff
Gilmour hit and miss
Goalies so inconsistent
Relying on Pedro , gross , dunky and van hecke at the moment with a sprinkling of Igor.

f*** me, I bet you are popular at parties!
Why are you always so negative about the Albion?
