ScepticalStan Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 You never go I'll wager Had a season ticket for the past 8 years but no, could never be bothered with the FA cup.

Pamplemousse Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 So the replay will come between the Burnley game on the 14th and the Leicester game on the 22nd. So either the Tuesday or Wednesday, and depends if anyone decides to televise it. At least we play that Leicester game on the Sunday, so we get four days recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 They should allow teams to nominate whether they want a replay. If both teams nominate 'no', then the game is settled in ET and Pens. i'm in the keep replays boat! smaller clubs might get that opportunity to play a premier league side away etc etc and more games the better!

James Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 I bet you can't wait . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I, of course, hope I'm wrong. I just find it ridiculous that this seasons shortcomings are justified by being compared to last season where we went on a Leicester style run to finish sixth. We were **** this time last season and we are **** now. The difference is that this season we don't have the players to go on a run like we did last year.

broncoboy Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 Is it really asking too much to expect our forward players to stick the ball in the f*cking net from time to time? Serving up,their usual high quality entertainment . No we don't need any strikers we can have the defenders score. The worst possible result another pointless game, no striker able to score and conceding a goal in the last minute Special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not slitting my wrists either over this result. I'm assuming Forster did not play or was even on the bench for a good reason, and the pen was caused by a young goalie. Onwards and upwards has to start from some point. I just hope it's this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 More like what excuses will you conjure up to have a go at Puel I remember that game last year. Palace were on fire and in the top 6 or something if I remember right. Can't really compare that to a lower league club who have lost 8 of their last 12 games. And before you say it Ipswich were not on a run like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintZamboni Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 A bit of perspective would be nice on this thread. We weren't troubled during the game but conceded two sloppy goals. We've played a very young side and we're still doing better than Bournemouth, Everton etc. Any excuse for a moan though eh?

James Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 So how should we judge the season. What is an acceptable league position to you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Having finished sixth last season I would expect to be more than 3-4 points off 15th place in the table. For all the cries of "but we are tenth" people seem to forget just how tight the league is. If/when we are 14th/15th in a couple of weeks will you find that acceptable? If we were playing a style of football that looked promising or which made you think the results would come sooner rather than later that would be fine but, at the moment, the football is very very poor.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If we finish between 8th and 10th this season then I'll be happy enough. Yes, we are 10th at the moment but we are also 4 points off 15th so I'd argue that any justification of Puel's performance by reference to league position is, at the moment, a false indicator as the league is so tight that we could move 4-5 places on the back of one result. Also it's hardly "subjective pony" is it? We've scored 19 goals in 20 games. I'll ask you, do you go every week? If so, do you enjoy what you are watching?

Saint Charminster Posted 7 January, 2017 Share Posted 7 January, 2017 Poor result considering we put out a stronger team than I thought. Reed, Sins, Lewis & Stephens aside it was first team selection based on puel rotation. We still have the same issues, lack of goals from our forward players and as per the las few games horrendous goals conceded. If we had played a younger side as didn't expect VVD or Bertrand to play and was surprised Tadic started, I would of expected max draw at best.
