All the finishes are in the corners, compared to us hitting the keeper every time. Thats the main difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Players doing there bit for fans today. Poor result and performance is sure to see our promotion odds lengthen, so fans can then pile their money on for an even better return come the end of the season.

Lew-T Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 People have said it for a while and I’m inclined to agree with them but as much as the striking department is a problem, the midfield needs addressing and quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair, Paterson has looked decent. I don’t think Bentley has been nearly as bad as some are saying either. The rest have been somewhere between terrible and atrocious.

JoeAman08 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I get it is a friendly but that is a bad loss. Just a bit of context is Palace have been playing that way for years. We took the game to them and they defended well and countered well. They have the better players. Now that said that was too sloppy a week before the season. Littered with mistakes. Biggest thing for me though is we have the same problems. There is no flair or creativity in the side. Szmodics looked more of the same to me. Lots of industry and less creativity and quality. I want Eliasson to be that but far too left footed to make it happen. This is why for me Palmer would be a huge addition. He has his flaws but we have enough industry to fit him in. Though with Paterson wide and COD central it looked better creatively. So maybe an answer without signings. All in all won’t judge too much on that but it needs to be a lot sharper in a weeks time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a week behind us in their pre season prep too Friendly or no friendly , the result and the way the goals were conceded simply shocking , embarrassing No points on offer for sure butbif Anyone thinks FGR and that has been satisfactory preparation .... well I don’t expect much of a cutting edge with Diedhiou up front but to concede 8 in the two immediate pre season games is shocking and concerning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have expected improvement on last season which would be play offs. Also would have expected giving Palace a game not a training session. And maybe a goal.

bcfc01 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Championship games v Premier teams today; Barnsley 1-4 Sheffield Utd Brum 0-4 Brighton Brentford 1-3 Bournemouth City 0-5 Palace Charlton 1-4 Villa Fulham 0-1 West Ham Luton 1-5 Norwich PNE 2-1 Newcastle QPR 0-1 Watford Stoke 1-2 Leicester Wign 2-2 Burnley A few stuffings there including us being the worst. Not a definitive pointer to the season but indicative to what shape teams are in imo. LJ will be a worried and angry man despite what he may say in the post match interview which will include something along the lines of "I didn't see that coming". If nothing else, it may well spur the club on to get a proper striker into the club asap and preferably a DM as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
