That'll do We were under a fair bit of pressure in that half and scored twice, more of the same please in the 2nd half.
I wouldn't exactly say we've been dire, just sloppy at times, but we did start to sort things out in the last 15 minutes, was a bit of a struggle after we scored, but then we started getting things under control.
Maybe I was exaggerating (someone has to ) but yeah we haven't been as sharp as I'd like. That being said Palace under Pardew have been good and I'll take the 3 points over a good performance. They battered us at the beginning but we settled it near the end.
Smash and grab job,can't cope with the energy palace are playing with,hopefully that will drop in the second half.Coq needs to be careful now that he is on a yellow card.
The pitch is quite **** too, and that has to be taken into account as well, particularly on the left hand side, players slipping and falling over.
Yeah. Really is terrible. Thinking we may needs Gibbs on later to help out Nacho as that seems to be Palace's targeted flank.
Getting over run by palace,this is f-----g dire ,if they had any quality up front things would be a lot different,why can,t we match our opponents work rate at least,this is another derby match we failed to show up in.
We are winning 2-0 away and had another couple of very good chances. We've had to defend a lot and they've pressured us well but have you really felt worried we won't secure the points? It's scrappy for sure.
I do feel they could score though.... But we could well add to our tally, it's all very frantic and open...
Rosiky and Gibbs on. Good. Need some defensive stability and midfield ability. Might bring on Theo with 5 minutes to go or Gabriel.
