Guest Jags11 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Sparoni is an outstanding keeper with a long usually pin pointed kicks. He will also make every high ball crossing into the area his. Palace will try and get the game over by half time with their pressure tactics. City must cut off supply line to Scot Sinclair, Moses and Snowcroft. The game is a sell out and you can be sure the crowd will be 'beying' for fouls and sending off's ( and Warnock jumping about) so I hope we have a fair referee! No doubt they will feel big favourites so lets get them nervous with putting the ball in the back of their net! What an audience on Saturday with everything to play for and I hope every City player is up for up it and no freezing. This game for some of you and us will be the biggest and one of the most important in your footballing life. AKT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 What have we learned about Palarse? They have an overbearing, egotistical myopic manager. They are a bunch of cheating bar stewards who have been known to say not very nice things to out little darlings. They must be stopped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderSomerset Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 beat them ar their own game We tried that, it didnt work. Lets beat them playing our game - football. Pass and move, get the ball to Trunds, Noble and Carle and let them tear them to pieces, Marv, Bradley and Louis will get stuck into them and I think we can show on national tv just how good we are and how cr4p they are!

Robbored Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Warnocks teams are well known for hoofing the ball forward at every opportunity and Palace has played that way more often than not but they are capable of playing some half decent football as well. Against Stoke which was on Sky they stroked the ball around and I for one was very surprised to see it. They won that game 2-1 which at the time was a good result for City. That Palace performance won't have been lost on Johnson. He'll know that City's play-off final chances could depend on the game at Selhurst Park on Saturday. The difficulty is not knowing what tactic Palace will employ. That said, a draw or narrow defeat will do us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Palace have been playing good football of late. So lets not kid ourselves that its Bolton V Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy082005 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 beat them ar their own game Nooooooooo way....big mistake wh have to make THEM try to beat us at OUR game.....because they wont be able to, simple as that. If we get the ball down, play some football, we will be ok. If we try to match them at their game....the tie could be all over by the time the 2nd leg comes round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted May 6, 2008 Admin Share Posted May 6, 2008 City must cut off supply line to Scot Sinclair, We have to make sure he gets the same reception he did when he came on for Charlton against us !, he did NOTHING that night ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Red Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That said, a draw or narrow defeat will do us. No it won't! A narrow defeat is never a good result. A draw is the minimum requirement and we should be looking to dominate and try and win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct; we cannot "play" for a draw or take a 1 or 2 nil defeat; we have to go and play to WIN; WIN CITY WIN Fight fight where-ever you may be go for the win and get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace have the best away record in the division. A result at their ground is almost an imperitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seend Red Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 beat them ar their own game No thats not the way, If we resort to that we'll lose as they're better at thier game than we are. It's Key that we do what we're good at and thats good ball retention and pass and move. I thought at times against PNE some of our pass and move was top notch and this is what we need to stick too. Warncock would love nothing more than to pull us into a phyiscal scappy battle, it's what happened up there last time ,I hope Orr dosn't let Morrison wind him up again and all 11 stay focused and don't go missing.

BristolCity1992 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I will tell you what though I really cant wait. I just hope we play the same way we did against Preston like I said in another thread last time they man-marked Carle out of the game but if we play with Nobes, Trunds, McIndoe and Carle they can not hope to mark all 4 out of the game.

Guest CPFC in Kent Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Common asumptions about Warnock's teams are that they just hoof it in the air and want to break the oppostions legs. Belive me - and this is coming from someone that was nearly ejected a few years back at Brammal lane for calling him a **** - I understand the loathing that Warnock evokes in supporters, but having watched Palace under him for over 6 months now I have been very pleasently surprised at how many misconceptions I have made. If you guys are expecting a free-for-all kicking and punting match then your team is going to be very ill-prepared for Saturday. As much as it amazes me now that we finally have two pacy and extrememly talented wingers in Moses and Sinclair the football that we play since our last encounter has been transformed. It is very much pass and move all the way from the back. The ugly - but somewhat effective - tactics of last year are light years away from the stuff we are playing now. and the physical stuff ? I cant even remember the last yellow that we got. All I'm saying guys is that I havent got a clue who will win but you need to have a rethink on a Warnock team. He has reinvented himself in the last few months in a way that I didn't think possible. Still can't bring myself to sing his name though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Indeed, Moses, Sinclair and others are skilful players, they looked quite good in the 2nd half at Ashton Gate and certainly not like in the 1st half which led us to chant "Boring Boring Palace" along the lines of "Boring Boring Bury" a few years ago when Warnock was their manager. So for us to assume they are a stereotypical Warnock side would be very complacent and a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
