Glenn Murray..

[Southwick_Seagull]

I would suggest he would, he has been totally outstanding for us. He offers more than Barnes or Hoskins ever could IMO.

Dougie is certainly happy!

Crystal Palace | News | Managers Comments | Freedman: Glenn Murray - What A Performance

And you've seen Barnes and Hoskins how many times?

Murray was good for what we needed in League 1, we've moved onto a different level now, good luck to him but he's not a patch on what we've got now.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Wigan had at least half of their 1st team out last night so you can't use that excuse! It was because Palace played so well which made Wigan look poor and we stopped them from causing any threat they may have been.

Murray's performance was as good as what people are saying, he was truly outstanding, it was a performance you would want to see from any of your strikers, he done everything and beyond and showed his true class, he truly deserved a goal last night for his efforts hitting the bar and post with chances, he is an outstanding player and i know you will continue to have the debate saying you prefer CMS but i still believe it was a top class signing by Freedman to get him.

The only sour note was right at the end of the match he did fall awkwardly and seemed to be in a bit of discomfort, he did walk off ok so hopefully nothing to serious but there have been some scaremongerers on our site saying he is out for 3 months which i think is untrue, Dougie made no mention of it in the post match press conference despite talking about Murray at length in it. He clearly did take a knock but would imagine they were waiting untill this morning to assess if there was any damage done.
im sure you all want to see Murray play at the Amex just as much as the Palace fans do!

I've never doubted his class - he just obviously didn't fit in with Poyet's plans and doesn't appear to have been a popular figure amongst the players. We certainly aren't missing him and you guys will get some class performances out of him. Just how often you see them is the big question as he will switch off, get silly red cards and pick up a few knocks.

From the sounds of his injury last night, looks like that could be his way of backing out of the Brighton game already!

I just heard on SSN that there were 4 or 5 people playing their first games of the season as well as some who have come off the bench in league games?

Murray going to Palace, them having a reasonable start to the season, us having Falmer and starting brilliantly is great as it re-ignites the rivalry beautifully. I'll bet there are loads of younger fans who now starting to get what this rather weird rivalry is all about, having not been able to get into it at all before. Makes the 27th even better imo that we are fairly evenly matched again, gonna be tense, noisey and I'm going for rather unsatisfactory draw

 

[SE25]

Agree he's a class player but you have to bear in mind last night he was playing Wigan's Under 18's 3rd team in a match they really couldn't give a shite about.

Oh dear.

Hoskins has played 10 minutes this season and scored the same number of goals as Murray. Barnes already has 4 times Murray so you've embarrassed yourself there

 

[somerset]

what this rather weird rivalry is all about, :

What is weird about it,.... its a rivalry, they are our closest team........ isn't that the normal way of rivalries,......

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

6 first team regulars

You must be very proud of beating half of Wigan's first team

We didn't just beat them, we f***ing destroyed them! Are you getting a bit worried about the 27th?

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

We didn't just beat them, we f***ing destroyed them!

By one goal. Very good. You guys nearly pulled off the famous Palace second half self destruction but scraped home

Possession:

Palace 46% Wigan 54%

11 shots each

Palace 8 corners Wigan 10

Simply, Nope

Simply, Nope

You should be.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Thanks for Glenn Murray. Love, SE25.

Murray is class WHEN HE CAN BE ARSED. When he's 'on one' he is a fantastic player. That said, there will be times (especially if you have a string of defeats) when he will go quiet, stop chasing down balls and just HIDE. That's what he does.

I was gutted when he left, because Gus got the best out of him. If your manager is as good as Gus and you win as many games as we did last season, you might get the same... But I don't think your manager is anywhere near as good as Gus... and you certainly won't win as many games as we did last season.

He'll score against us at the Amex for sure though, because he'll be motivated and driven and chase everything (like CMS except he does it EVERY game).. He'll also celebrate infront of the Brighton fans, because that's the kind of player he is.

 

[Seagull Steve]

He undoubtedly will have a few exciting performances for you. But he will also have some really frustrating games where he looks completely uninterested. As for the Murray v CMS debate, Murray can be a good player, but on his day CMS is unplayable.

We enjoyed our win against Sunderland, as much as you are enjoying your win against Wigan, but we all know these are just warm up's, ready for the 27th.

 

[5 Zero]

Barnes has scored 4 league goals ALREADY this season. What's Murray done?

Played two full games, and a couple of subs. In that time he has an assist, a goal, a match changing performance vs Blackpool and was Man of the Match last night agains't a Premier League side.

 

[somerset]

You should be.

I am not certain where you get your optimism geezer!!!... we have played 8 games this season, won 7 and drawn 1,... conceding just 4 goals, one of those games against a FULL STRENGTH Sunderland team.......... I would say it is going to be a challenge for you guys coming to the Amex, plus we have a couple of injury returnees ( Hoskins and Buckley), and a possible appearance by Mr Rodriguez....... as always in any game, any result is possible,.... but in the real world, the odds are stacked against you Saaarrrff Laaandoners.

 

[Commander]

I would suggest he would, he has been totally outstanding for us. He offers more than Barnes or Hoskins ever could IMO.

5 Zero - your response to this please?

I cant believe anyone would actually seriously argue they would rather have Murray than CMS (99% of Brighton fans would have told you they would have rather had CMS than Murray last year when he was banging them in for Peterborough) so we can forget that one. But Barnes and Hoskins? Barnes has 4 already, Hoskins has hardly played but has still scored. It's an interesting one but from what I've seen so far I'd rather have Barnes or Hoskins, especially as they seem to actualy enjoy playing football and don't upset the squad morale. Gus certainly thinks so as well, or he would have kept Murray.

Murray ..yep good player...scored some of the goals tht helped us get promoted ..i think ratio of chances to goals wasn't that brill...do we miss him? Nope.

im sure

Did he throw himself on the floor looking for a non-existent foul perchance? Serves him right if he injured himself, although at least he has a convenient excuse now to avoid running the gauntlet on the 27th. I wouldn't be surprised if the moody FLAKE isn't within 200 miles of the stadium on the day. He'll probably be (reluctantly) spending a couple of his 30 pieces of silver on orange juice - as he sits on his own in a some dreary northern motorway services.

Murray offers more than just goals. Hold up play, aerial ablity, great at defending set plays etc
