[Football] Hodgson

[vegster]

Commentators on the game were praising Woy for his teams formation and defensive acumen. At 1-0 down you are still in the game and we all know that Palace have that ability to score at the death.

I'm happy for him to be bumbling on below us.

To be fair, Hodgson says it how he see's it and unlike at least half of the other top level managers has a post game viewpoint which suggests he's visited planet earth once or twice

Sounds familiar to how a certain team played at Liverpool earlier this season

Christ.....they have just taken 3 points from City away and Chelsea at home ( 3 more than we did )....they are a decent, solid side, capable of moments of brilliance and in no danger of relegation. Another example of fans getting ahead of themselves. A year and a bit on from P7 L7 and they are keeping heads above water in the PL.
I'd say he was doing ok.

This. They are a striker short of being a much better side - Zaha wasted through the middle, although he was generally poor yesterday, but just no other realistic option at the moment. If they get a Solanke or someone of that ilk on loan in January, I would expect them to have a much better 2nd half of the season. They were feeble going forward yesterday, but they have players capable of doing spectacular things, just not consistently enough.

Surely the Sleeping Giant Benteke is due to return soon?

Kind of interesting our relative mojos and opinion of our managers, considering we got 43 points in 2018 and they got 44

I’d be intererested to see the points as of 31 Dec 17 against 31 Dec 2018. I know they were a long way behind us at one stage last season but not by year’s end?

I think the last few games have seen mojos shoot up in the blue and white camp, not just the results but (for me) the all important performance and entertainment levels.

Their expectations have not been managed as well as ours have though.

Parish has a shit or bust approach to the premier league.
They have spunked a lot of money over 6 years to be a point better off than us in the calendar year.

I wonder how we would feel if we had a crippling wage bill and were 6 points behind our rivals.

Hodgson & Lewington are absolute dinosaurs, should never have worked again after England

we're moving forward, they are treading water at best.

If it's the bit I saw on MotD2, he essentially said that when you go one down against a side like Chelsea you have two options...

- Take risks immediately to try and get back in the game, but you could then concede several more
- Leave it until the last 15 minutes or so, and then take risks

I'm largely indifferent to Roy Hodgson, but I did think that his approach is very similar to Chris Hughton's.

 

[Triggaaar]

Something along the lines of they stayed defensive after Chelsea scored to avoid conceding 4 or 5 more and that had they managed to score on a breakaway it would have been more than they deserved

Blimey, that's not going to go down well. I assume that's not the attitude that gave them the goals and points away to City, so a bit of a surprise they're like that at home. And it was only poor linesman decisions that kept it to 1-0, not good defending.

 

[Triggaaar]

Hodgson is a great manager, hoping they do get rid. He has done superbly well there given that they pretty much have no recognized striker.

I think you're both right, and on that basis I think your posts should be removed. This is going to sound ****ing ridiculous:
Palace fans notice what the mood is on NSC. When they have one of their stupid polls, we sabotage it. Word gets to their chairman, and they ignore the result of the poll because they realise it's the work of Brighton fans. Similarly, if they realise we think Roy is actually doing well, they'll keep him. What we need is sarcastic calls for him to stay. That'd see him dropped in no time.

The notion that posts here ultimately affect the decisions of the palace board is madness. But that doesn't mean it's not true, they are a basket case.

Well I know a Palace fan who wants him out, so ner!

Went to a party last night with several Palace who had been to the game, they were disappointed with the negative display only improved when Wickham came on, also they thought Wilf was poor, maybe his head has been turned with interest from elsewhere.

All the Brighton fans I know want the same.

How sweet.
