Still 20 min to go...treat a team with disrespect by subbing early and you can get bitten on the arse...play to the end...3 points is 3 points.
Where are all the doubters after the apparently unacceptable point against Portsmouth?! Each point is one more toward promotion .
Correct, but an injury to Fox/Cork/Lambert changes the mood of the season. The pitch is wet and dangerous, tackles are flying in, and its beginning to get heated between the players so cards are coming out
Build it on the pitch right now. Infact, take Rickie off and put the statue in the Palace six-yard box. Bet you it scores at least one! Legend! I bet even MLT idolises him at the moment.
They are saying the game is open and CP have had a couple of shots...concentrate and put this game to bed. This is a must win.
gotta feeling we may need another. If we concede one these 3 can easily turn to 1 and as the pompey game proved we don't really deal well with pressure...
It looks like the sacking of Pardew has been mutually beneficial, we got Adkins, Newcastle got Pards and both teams are doing well in their respective divisions.
I presume Lambert is playing down the middle today instead of on the wing, like against Pompey? Was he trying to stay out of any melee cos he was carrying a light injury? Seemed averse to even going inside their 18 yard box.
Oh Easter has just been rescued in the FLT household... the kids can have their chocolate now! I thought we did well Saturday, I was just a right sulkyhead after that equaliser!
