We’re all aware generally of these but officially....

Disciplinary:
-top of the yellows league
-2nd top of the fouls-committed league
-And joint 4th of the reds league

He shot, he scored, he must be....(playing for the other team?):
-we’re 3rd bottom of the shots ON target league this season
-top of shots OFF target league (but also with the least number overall, I hasten to add)
-And in the last 9 games, we’ve had 29 shots on target e.g. just over 3 per game (but in two of the last 3, we’ve scored a duck)

Depressing isn’t it?! Still, KLL’s going to fire 2 in against Coventry as the Seagulls blitz the Sky Blues in a Rocky-like comeback :)

All of it not bloody good enough in my opinion.

I was going to start a new thread about the discipline subjuct but I'll add my thoughts here.

From watching games this season I genuinely belive we're not a dirty team or a poorly disciplined team. I do however think the style we play causes the players to make cynical fouls when we lose the ball. Those sort of cynical fouls will always get you booked more than say, a badly timed challenge or a sneaky kicks that some of the dirtier teams we've faced seem to do.
It is nessessary to make these challenges because of how open we play when we've got the ball, if we don't then teams will just run through us and score

Palace haven't scored for last 6hours and 8minutes.

We were on 5hours and 43minutes til Greer scored against Barnsley

5 in the last 9 for us, inc 5 games without a goal.

Because we can't compete physicaly we over compenate and stretch in the tackle resulting in lots of three kicks and tackles that look nasty.

We're not dirty but a team lacking pace and when you're up against quicker players it's inevitable that players like Greer, painter, dunk, Navarro, Barnes etc are going to pick up plenty of fouls and yellows.

Those stats are appalling, I am disgusted and furious with Gus and team, come to think of it the whole club in general. We move from a perfectly good stadium in Withdean to a tin pot stadium in the middle of the sticks, become a mediocre middle of the table team that is frankly boring boring boring. Don't even get me started on how steps I have to climb to get to my seat.
When is this club going to respect the wishes of its fans???
