Premier League - Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread

[hallamblue]

It'll be a travesty if we lose this

[hallamblue]

f*ck it

There's been absolutely nothing between these two sides the whole game. It's about sticking it in the net .....

I expect McKenna will bring Hirst on now you tossa

[Charnwood]

Bollocks, danger man Sarr it is , he left Gresves for dead

[Steve and Jo]

come on Phillips had to win that, be strong, and that is why we are going down

That's not McKenna's fault. Come on Liz, quite simply Phillips was not strong enough.

WORD

[hallamblue]

He insists on keeping our most experienced striker on the bloody bench every game, all gane. Wtf is he going to do in 4 sodding mins????

[marko69]

15 shots
8 on target

[Charnwood]

This isn’t over yet. We’ll get at least one more chance, we just need to take it.

[Steve and Jo]

Its not the striker though, Look at the passing success rate. Davis has had his usual up and down game, I certainly hope Philiogene improves because for me he looks lost. Today we played quite well but yet quality is there to see. Simply put we are NOT good enough

[hallamblue]

It's the same bloody inept gane management every bloody game. I'm sick to death of it

[Charnwood]

Our performance this afternoon didn’t deserve this, and Zi don’t blame McKenna. Hurst could have been on there 45 mins snd probably eoulcng have scored.

Well will agree to disagree then. Because it is the striker. Delap.blasted over twice in 2nd half when a cooler head and pass to sone else in the box would have been a better option. If you're going shoot at leadt keep it in the bloody ground!!!

[hallamblue]

Not a bloody hope of staying up while Tinkerman continues with his blinkered approach
I actually DO now hope he gives off onnthe summer.

[Steve and Jo]

Look through the trees Liz, this game has nothing to do with game management nor tactics. Its purely they put away their chance because Phillips for whatever reason was not strong enough. I think you are clouding your vision to what you think of the season as a whole and not on this one game

[hallamblue]

And how did our striker do for 90mins? What threat was he when he had the ball in the box?

Bring bloody Hirst on, McKenna you utter TOOL...for the love of God give us a fighting chance.

[marko69]

Without predjudice,,,, is there any chance you could write up a few paragraphs on how you would've managed that game, please. Using your own words, "bloody inept game management" ...., a game that Ipswich have come out on top in all stats other than the thinnest 1-0 scoreline.... I want to understand what I am missing. Let us know how what is missing. What the management is missing. What would YOU have done to get the 3pts secured.

And yet everybody rates Delap, even calling for him to be in the England squad. If that was Hurst you would be calling why is Delap not on the pitch

We are all upset, hurt but truth is the squad is not good enough. Would i have choosing these 11 players from the start? NO// I would of played 3 in midfield like we did last week again Forest but its opinions on who to play etc, for what it is worth still think we would of lost

[marko69]

Are you speaking of Liam Delap? Should the Messiah have taken Delap off?

[hallamblue]

I'd have had Hirst on WITH Delap.


...................Hirst
Broadhead .. Delap....Hutchinson

Hirst HOLDS the ball up. Plays people into the game. For gods sake it's not rocket science. But he won't TRY IT will he. It's poor management of his squad.

Delap is inexperienced and it shows... teams have sussed his," burn bright for 30 mins, head down, run from the half way line , leading the line " approach. When he fizzles out we have nothing else. But McKenna will not CHANGE anything.

I'm SO BLOODY pissed off with this s hit game after game .

[Cabanas Blue]

We never get what we deserve it should have been a draw, and although Delap will be a great player he needs to pass the ball not blast it over again and again.

[marko69]

ANYWAY........, Wolves smash the Toffees, 8pt gap...., curtains......, back to the Champ....., back to WINNING! Everyone happy.

I did not realise Hirst AND Delap was a tried and tested formula that works so obviously that the "rocket science" saying could be used.

THANK YOU!!!!

No, it's not tried and tested is it, because the tw*t wont TRY IT.

Can you not see the merits of having BOTH on in the above front line suggested? Really??

[Steve and Jo]

Look at the stats, we were well in this game. Ipswich did not deserve to lose. Just before they scored Johnson had a great chance to score. Even before that we should of scored. Ball bouncing in six yard box.

We can analyse the game but I will say this "IF" we had played like we did today from start of season maybe wont be heading down

[mendipblue]

Watching live in Hanoi Vietnam. Town don't look uncomfortable had a couple of chances Henderson making good saves. Palmer made a good save early on. Game quite even. He hasn't tinkered as the uneducated might suggest he has picked what's available.

Whereabouts in Hanoi are you MB?

The old quarter

[hallamblue]

ANYWAY........, Wolves smash the Toffees, 8pt gap...., curtains......, back to the Champ....., back to WINNING! Everyone happy.

Exactly. Game likely over before we even play Wolves, with or without Cunha. All because McKenna will not change.

We played so well today marko yet it was clear we were t going to score ....so you have other forwards on the bench you'd try something different and certainly before the last bloody 10 mins.

Same sh*t from McKenna, different day. .

I lost all faith in.him .... I'm finished with him

[mendipblue]

Exactly % it's just one of the those seasons where everything goes against you.

Not for the first time
