  2. It won’t be Eddie Howe Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Why does us winning at Newcastle defy logic. Our away form is pretty good and their home form is poor, they’ve actually gained the same number of home points as us. I’m not saying we’ll win, but it’ll hardly defy logic if we do. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. Good, if Swansea are “ pretty much safe” with 30 points, we only need 2 more and we’re pretty much safe. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. No Roy’s fault. Should have tightened up at 2-0 & took off one of the forwards. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. And lose !!!!!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. I am not blaming the fans, all I am saying is it’s better to create a fantastic Palace like atmosphere in our remaining 3 home games, than the dire atmosphere we’ve had the past year. Will it make us play better, maybe, maybe not. Will it make us play worse, no. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. They lost their first seven games, without scoring a goal and I doubt they just sat their waiting to be entertained. The way I look at it, we have 3 home games left. Should we A) Get behind the side as Palace fans have tonight Or B) Wait until we’re served up decent football and then get behind the team. Which do you think will help the cause more, A or B?

  9. People are clearly watching this and taking note of the attacking intent & set up of the palace side. I hope they’re also noting the atmosphere & support the team are getting from the Palace fans. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. Pogba caused that, tried a Hollywood pass & gave it away cheaply Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. I don’t know about bad person. A ****ing classless twt more like. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. **** me. Can people read? I’ve quoted my post. IT WAS TIM SHERWOOD THAT SAID THE ATMOSPHERE WAS TOXIC, not me. Try reading then understanding what’s written before jumping up and down. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. This is just moaning for the sake of it. He started with Gabbi for the first few games, god imagine the uproar if he’d started with Charlie instead. Once it became apparent that Gabbi wasn’t cutting the mustard Charlie came in from the cold, before getting injured. Had he not got injured, he’d have been playing every week. God you’ll be moaning our genius manager has only started Sims once next Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. Anyone see Goals on Sunday where Tim Sherwood said similar, yeah I know, skate and failed manager. But he said the players need the supporters, the atmosphere is toxic, and we’re better off playing away from home. Someone said in reply, I think it was Kammy , that we’re sat there waiting for something to happen, for the players to inspire us, rather than visa versa. I’m sure it’ll get dismissed on here, but one thing I know to be absolutely true is no team plays worse when 100% of The support get behind the side 100% of the time. If we put our misgivings over the management and over certain players or style of play for the last 3 home games, it won’t make us play worse. It could in fact nick us an unexpected point or win that keeps us up. One thing for sure, Huddersfield, Palace, Boscombe & Brighton supporters will be. Whereas us stoke , West Brom & West Ham probably won’t. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. So how does keeping this manager make us money? Surely relegation would cost him more money than paying up the managers contract & employing someone else. The 2 things go hand in hand. You only make serious money if the football sides right, as The Venkeys found out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. Spot on imo All these conspiracy theories are nonsense, as is this nonsense that we’re somehow arrogant or complacent. I would imagine that Reed has taken soundings from the senior pros, watched training first hand, been around the first team squad, and thinks Pell can turn it round and be a better option than gambling on bringing someone in. It’s a judgement call he’s made with more facts & behind the scene insights than we’ve got. Whether it’s the right call is another matter. One thing for sure, Pell must be seriously impressive off the pitch to have survived these results so long. There does also appear to be little noise or criticism coming out of the club, no rumours of player unrest or “lost the dressing room” type of stuff. But it will be pretty remarkable if Pell somehow does a Lawrie and wins us round after an awful first campaign. So remarkable, that I really can’t remember another manager who has done so.

  17. So what did you think of Lawrie’s 1975/76 attempt at gaining promotion, after all it was under him we got relegated (you probably thought he was out of his depth in ‘73). Did you complain that we only beat a 4th division side in the quarters and a third division side in the semis. Was a 6 game cup run enough to gloss over his absolute failure to secure promotion? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. His reward for winning the cup would be not getting sacked. His future after that would be down to results that season. What’s the alternative. He wins the cup then gets sacked. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. Yeah, great analogy. Getting relegated is just like that, us supporters will feel just like victims families when we go down. We won’t win the cup, but to do so we’ll probably have to beat 2 of the top 5. If he does that and delivers the second major trophy in our history I hope our supporters will show more class than you’re clearly going to. I bet you wanted Lawrie out in ‘76 for failing to get us promoted Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. They got a referendum, which was won Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. I’d welcome anything that got the dinosaur off the airwaves Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. John Terry Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. I think you’re right. If I was a betting man I’d say he’d stay. I’m not even totally convinced he’d be gone if we went down. 80/20 for him going, but not 100% convinced Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  24. Fair enough. If people are calling for 2 forwards on the pitch in our normal formation, then it’s a debate about personal rather than set up. Personally I don’t think Gabbi can do the job required and get back defensively a bit like Okazaki does for Leicester. Long probably could, but given his record whether than constitutes 2 forwards starting is debatable. For a few minutes Sims looked like he went in there yesterday. I wouldn’t be adverse to him or Redmond dropping in there with JWP coming in wide instead of Tadic. Sims, Redmond and long are probably the only players we have who could run in behind. Boufal should be able to, but I’ve seen nothing to suggest he’s willing to. I just don’t want us to chuck the baby out with the bath water. Our away performances lately are ok.

  25. We set up with a 10 in our present formation. Playing with a 10 isn’t 2 up top. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
