Looks offside from this angle.

My view is that a point at Palace isn't a bad result with our current situation on and off the pitch. If you look at the Palace forum, they believe we are relegation fodder and are aggrieved they couldn't beat us, and i'm pretty sure every other club will be thinking the same. The style now is very much one of making us hard to beat, rather than attacking, fluid football at every opportunity. It's obviously dividing opinion but if we stay up, I personally don't care.

Palace just paid a fortune for Nketiah, have one of the most coveted wingers in the league, a centre back that Newcastle wanted to spend £40 plus million on and a young midfielder who is very highly rated. Meanwhile, we have taken two of their squad players who weren't regulars in their first team. A bit more perspective is needed I think.

We did invite them on to us granted, but I don't think they created much or our keeper making any miraculous saves. We were 2 minutes away from shutting them out and an individual error that cost us. I'm taking the positives. I'd be delighted if we finish 4th bottom to be honest.

We are treading a fine line. At this level, if we open up too much, we will get picked off and get pumped 3 or 4. The tactic is to be solid, strong and to try and stay in games. A lot of teams have more quality than us.

Do you realize where we are as a club right now? The issue seems to be that some fans have an unrealistic sense of entitlement, thinking we have a divine right to show up at Crystal Palace and easily beat them. We simply don’t have the squad for that! Let’s not forget, the last time we were in the Premier League, Crystal Palace beat us at their place, and they had the most shots in one half that they's had all seaon, in the first half! We also got thrashed 5-3 by Fulham that season. Expectations need to be more grounded.

We lost by 1 goal against Fulham, we drew with Spurs and drew with Palace, so we were competitive in energy game. Did you not watch them?

We'll be more attacking at home. You've got to stay in games in this division.. if you go too gung ho you can find yourself 2 or 3 down in a blink of an eye and the game is done. I'm happy that we have been competitive in every game so far.

Is it not just the case that if Coady hadn't have been so stupid, we would have got all 3 points?

Same here! This is baffling

Can someone confirm if it was definitely onside?

This thread needs closing FFS.

Seems a logical lineup. We're trying to stay in the game for as long as possible

Good addition. Target man, strong, works hard, will bring our more skilful players into the game.

It's genuine incompetence everywhere you look in life currently, from the governments globally to our football club!
