2-2 Palace, A Post Match Thread

The attacking momentum chart makes for interesting reading, literally nothing from us after Cooper made his first sub. Wonderful game management

You play the game in their half and they can't score. I know the reality is much more difficult than that, but bringing on purely defensive players won't achieve that. 

 

It's games like this that will define our season. We need to get everything right and a good manager might make the correct calls to give us that extra 10%.

 

At the moment I feel we'll be like Luton last season. A plucky underdog, but ultimately without the quality to stay up. 

Agree with your post.

 

But unlike Luton I think we do have just about enough quality to stay up.

But I know for sure we can do better still,  but what we need is a manager who isn't ... Well Steve Cooper.

 

I bet the club wishes it spent some of the Enzo compensation on Corberan now.

One that got away. Negative subs killed us big time. Really poor from Cooper. Didn’t need to go that bad. We were so deep and had very little outlet because we couldn’t do anything but pump it away.

This 

it’s not complicated - if the manager is showing such poor game management then what chance do the players have 

 

that can’t be genuine 

This is the reason given to why the goal was given just know on us tv.

[Kierzz]

Hopefully those 2 points won't be costly at the end of the season 

[TrentFox]

I’m sure I read a  stat that said Cooper is now about 18 games without a win in the EPL ?? 🤔 🤷

And then used the still with the green line to prove it 😂

There is a massive difference between seeing a game out defensively and doing what Cooper did today

 

Ricardo, El Khannous, Buonanotte and even Bobby Reid were all on the bench and would be able to help you defend but can also give you something going forward and be able to relieve the pressure you are going to be under

 

Bringing on Coady and Choudhury just meant Palace knew they could ramp up the pressure even more without having to worry about having to do any defending at all, meaning they can commit everyone forward

[Ric Flair]

The saddest thing about that will be our clown of a manager will be even more convinced of the difficulty in winning PL football games and that it's got to be an all out attritional battle with a team filled with blood and thunder.

 

Can't stop giggling at how much of a pillocks he's just made of that. Embarrassing Steve.

Spot on and for that decision he should be shot.

I think it'll be next Saturday but it's gonna be a long old slog of a season nonetheless. 

nah disagree cooper is not as good as dyche, hell make a joke of a sub and we lose

watch this space

[peterborofox]

Cooper tactically looks inept. 

 

Couldn't keep the ball all second half so decided to sit back and not try and retain the ball, was like having Southgate in charge. 

 

Was crying out for Buonanotte or El K to come on and keep it and pick up cheap fouls. All we did was sit back and allow them to recycle the ball and invite more pressure 

 

Cooper cost us the game

[Tielemans63]

He's not my favourite player, but Bobby Reid was surely the logical substitution. At least he can advance the ball up the pitch and would have given us an outlet.

[EastAnglianFox]

Manager is the weak point but I’m starting to have more belief that we can be better than at least 3 teams this season even if we stick with Cooper.

 

If we address the manager situation early I genuinely feel comfortable mid table is well within us.

 

 

[Nolucklcfc]

One things for sure i like these players. Being let down by poor decisions but this is a good group. They deserve our support for sure 

[dobbylcfc]

Point gained imo. Yes I’m pi$$ed off it wasn’t 3 but will take the 1pt. Debatable onside for there 1st and a coday masterclass in fups. On the plus side it was good to see mav get a start and the goat scoring again at least it show we can be competitive in the prem.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Get that goblin out 

[tickler28]

When is a manager gonna see that bringing on Choudhury to see out a match ends either in a draw or defeat

How is it a point gained? Because expectations are low?

It’s going to be a season of what ifs.

I struggle to blame Cooper, we were really comfortable.  I sloppy mistake cost us 2 points.

They was all over us last 25 couldn’t get out are half if we didn’t shit the bed and go mad defensive we could of got a 3 and killed the game

[SixtiesFox]

2 - 0 up with the crowd ready to turn on the home team and we end up with a point, that's 2 points lost. We needed to keep possession rather than putting on an extra defender and camping in and around our own area. The inevitable happened and we all saw it coming. Cooper's negative subs cost us today. 5 points would have given us a massive psychological boost going forward. A massive opportunity missed!  

[Phenom]

I wonder how our best attacking player this year, Bounanotte , feels about being left on the bench?

 

Or how about Bilal, one of the most promising players in his position in the world and starter for his NT, to see a guy who’s top level is the Championship (at best) coming in instead of him.

 

Don’t get me started on Alves not even making the squad…

Because we didn’t have a point before we got there  

 

But in all seriousness as much as it’s a point gained, it’s more 2 points lost.
