I guess so too, because there is sometimes some poor parking techniques by the defence

Big pitch so will suit our counter attack play if Yannick and Ince play well!

Hope it's a different 11 to last week tho, KG on the bench. Doubt it tho.

Don't you want to actually enjoy the process of winning/drawing/staying up though? For me, it's not entirely about the result, but it's also about how the result is achieved. I pay my money to be entertained as well.

If we don't play negative, boring, "park the bus" style football for the next few games we might not bring the whole thing down to the last game of the season and I for one, would feel robbed

I'd agree with that.

I won't moan if we stay up but after spending hours travelling to Sunderland last week and goodness knows how much I'd like just a tiny bit of ambition.

I like the fact we are now difficult to beat. I just want to celebrate a goal again this season.

Fully agree with you Woosie. I would much prefer to be enjoying watching Palace get relegated but trying to play great football like man city or arsenal or chelsea or barcelona or brazil.

If we are lucky then yeovil might be able to stay up so that you can have a nice day out in the west country next season.

I've enjoyed every victory or point gained so far this season, no matter how it was achieved. If we stay up then I'll be deliriously bloody happy, how we played won't matter a single jot.

We will park the bus and KG will play. All rather predictable. But we are in a needs must situation and if we get a point then it's job done.

Still bemused about why people worry at this particular point in time over whether it's boring or unattractive football to watch. Come sunny August we can worry about that - it's March, and there's PL squillions at stake - for the next couple of months - see that flying out of the window? That'll be any kind of moral high ground or pretensions of the beautiful game. Fine with me.

What's with the crap about if you play anything resembling football you'll get relegated? How many more people are going to miss the point, I don't want us to play like Barca, I want us to actually attack teams a little.

Agree.

People are confusing intent to score a goal and playing sexy football.

When Pullis took over we absorbed pressure but then caught teams on the break which I found just as exciting. That's not happening now.

We do exactly that. Could have scored more vs Swansea and should have vs Sunderland. We cant just expect to go to away teams, worth triple ours, and go out and attack and then claim 'they were there for the taking'. Quite simply we will get punished. Not losing last week was vital - we did exactly that.

Id agree regarding home games and Soton was a far bigger disappointment for me. But other than that game im finding little to criticise.

Ridiculous comment.
People don't pay 400 quid a season to be bored which is what's happened as of late,

Horses for courses. I'm a sucker for entertainment too.

But at this stage of the season I'm afraid I am quite happy with grim pragmatism.

Its far more down to players under performing in recent weeks. Look at how KG, Jedi and Puncheon have performed recently? We also have no Chamakh.

We arent playing any different. Individuals who we know are much better arent playing well enough with the ball for the last 3-4 games.

I disagree. At Sunderland when we had chances to break we slowed play down. Swansea we could have been 3 or 4 down at half time.

I'm glad we didn't lose last week but as easily as we could have won we could have lost. Sunderland hit the bar and if you defend all game it only takes one mistake to undo all the hard work.

We really don't though, we sit back and we don't even attempt to attack. We had one good chance at Sunderland in 90 minutes and KG wasted it.

People have been too quick to take this and accept it. I'm surprised there was so much animosity against the 12BET rumours given how many Palace fans are happy to lie down and take this crap.
