[Palace] Were palace injury hit?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

No, it’s on anyone but, well according to him it is anyway. As a LEADER (on over £500k a MONTH) he’s paid to LEAD not throw the little man under the bus. You think his ‘team’ want to work for him now? Publicly you take the wrap, privately you deal with it. But he’s no leader, he’s a self-serving merchant who is so over the hill he’s digging a tunnel, I’ve worked for people like him in enterprises, arsehole.

Did notice he was over-keen to pass the buck to the medical team

No, he is a Brighton fan.

Well done.

Yes, a Brighton fan.

It was written by an Albion fan.

Olise may have been on the bench but he wasn't considered fit enough to play the full ninety, and he only lasted eight minutes on the pitch. Idiotic gamble with the game more or less already lost. That one's on Hodgson

And the medical team Tom if he only lasted 8 minutes surely ?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Yup, but the game was all but gone. Why risk the player unduly? And as noted in post #21 Woy was only too keen to pass the buck to the medical team

[Wozza]

No, he is a Brighton fan.

It was a reference to The Guardian article referenced in the OP.

Professional sports journalist Ed Aarons is, indeed, a Palace fan.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Games have been brought back to 3-3 before (I'm not saying this one would've been) and he would be highly criticised for not playing their best player.
A manager can only act on the medical team's advice.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I think that it's fair to say that their team was 'injury hit' as they were hit with injuries to both Guehi and Olise during the game. Their squad was missing Eze and Doucoure, but was bolstered by the arrival of the two new signings that made them the league's biggest spenders in this transfer window. They started the game with only four squad absences which puts them close to the bottom of the 'how many players do you have missing?' table. We had six out. The in-game injuries now put them mid table: https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php.

So what we're saying is that yes, starting a game with two players missing counts as injury hit in your 11th season in the premier league(and the billion+ pounds that comes with it) IF you're a shambles of a club with a joke in the boardroom, a joke in the dugout and a bunch of jokes in the stand?

The point I tried to make earlier, unsuccessfully it seems, is that it's not the number of players out, it's their importance to the team that counts. I was confident of beating Palace before the game but once I reached the ground and learnt that Eze and Olise were out, I was even more convinced we'd win. When Guehi went off, that was that. All over.

That's ridiculously harsh. There is no way he would have played Olise if he'd been told he was at serious risk. He wouldn't even have been on the bench. It seems pretty obvious that he was following advice.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Ed Aarons, who wrote that, is a Palace fan. That may or may not be relevant.

Yep – and the 90 mins one was written by an Albion fan. Which is probably why so many people here like it!

I'm sure it was referenced the other day (but I only just read it now) because the 'Joachim Andersen and Dean Henderson had to be pulled away by Palace assistant boss Paddy McCarthy' bit has been edited...

 

[peterward]

Just asking because in the Guardians talking point from the game they say this:

The German was instrumental in the 4-1 thrashing of Roy Hodgson’s injury-hit side as Brighton ended their goalscoring drought in fine style

I thought they were missing Doucore and Eze with Olise on the bench?

How can a team in their 11th season in the premier league missing two players be described as injury hit? Who else were they missing?

It's not like they were missing Veltman, Milner, Mitoma, Adingra, March, Enciso with Fati only fit enough for the bench and Pedro being passed fit on the day of the game. Which, incidently is our smallest unavailable player list for months.

It's almost like Palace are an absolute shambles on and off the pitch...

Olise was available for 10 minutes and could be deemed as injured?, their best defender Guehi also limped off, so of 2 best players, they only got 10 minutes, best defender they didn't get full 90 and Doucoure too.

No excuses, we'd still have won imho, the 2 key missing players are decent offensively, they don't add much to the parked bus, that we got through 4x.

Why Henderson over Johnstone?

He's completely shit.

Oh no, you made your point perfectly well.

I just started this thread to take the piss out of palace and highlight what a shambles they are that this deep into their premier league life their squad can't cope with 2-4 injuries because it is sufficiently imbalanced that they rely far too heavily on those players.

We have essentially made the same point, the difference being you made it fairly and reasonably while I have taken childish glee in mocking them for their uselessness.

Well, it says 'by Scott McCarthy' on the article, so I'd guess it was Scott McCarthy (off of WeAreBrighton and that). Scott used to post here as @Scotty Mac but not any more, I don't think.

 

[Bakero]

Rumours that Guehi will miss most of the rest of the season. Bad news for him, them and their survival prospects.

Could be good for Dunk's England prospects on the other hand. We just need Maguire to lose his photos of Gareth in a compromising position.

But he’s no leader, he’s a self-serving merchant who is so over the hill he’s digging a tunnel,

Surely "digging a tunnel" is under the hill...?

Surely on the Palace medical team?
