Palace Post Match

[Matt]

Both equally matched, Both pretty poor, Our performance wasn't too bad but not brilliant, Could have gone either way but this time luck came our way for once.

Two Words that sum the game up - Throw in. [repeat x100 times]

We got the luck, we now need to build on that, 3 unbeaten, but we need to go on and take it to the next level which is a winning streak.

C'mon City.

P.S - And yes for the meanwhile i'd take playing like that/perhaps even shitter than that aslong as we won, IMO if we can get wins together then we can take a look at improving our play.

[Simon]

It's called winning ugly.

Absolutely shite game, and Crystal Palace came with the game plan to hoof it long and try an pick up all the knockdowns and keep the game as scrappy as possible. It worked for a while, and Scowy won most things in the air for the first 25 mins but after that, although Palace shaded it for possession, the best chances (except the disallowed goal) fell to us and they never REALLY looked like scoring past us. IMO Warnock played into our hands- long balls hoofed forward are pretty much bread and butter for our back line.

I though Hayles was our best player outside of the back four (effort, application and a goal!) but his inclusion did us few favours- the balance of the team was very, very skewed because of this and I really hope Ollie isn't going to try and accommodate three attackers by playing one of them on the wing like countless other of our managers have done previously. Hume on the right wing doesn't work. It's a fact, please stop trying it.

The pitch was bloody awful for some inexplicable reason. Ideally something needs to be done, but I'm not sure there'd be enough time for new grass to take.

Not going to read too much into this other than to say if we keep winning when playing this badly we'll be doing well!

[Daggers]

Eh??

Thing is, some people only know one type of bad football. They assume we were playing poorly on purpose or weren't trying to knock it about on the floor.

[Fez of Mahrez]

I was just saying I didn't think we were playing hoofball all that much - Laczko and Hume were getting the ball plenty. They were just losing possession (Laczko) or hacking it straight out of play (Hume). All things being relative, the back four weren't mindlessly thumping it upfield as much as has been known recently.

Damn your sig frustrates me.

A great chant from P1/N last night was, to the tune of Palace's Clinton Morrison song:

Sang to Speroni:

Where's your caravan? (Where's your caravan?)

Where's your caravan? (Where's your caravan?)

Genius.

You say it as if it's original

i know you're teasing him, but at least he's trying....

Excuse me y'all.

I'm not sure whether you can help me or whether I'm even in the right place. I was lurking in this thread for a bit, waiting for an opportune moment to say something inflammatory, offensive and facile when I lost my balance and ended up in a puddle of what appeared to be urine.

Now, this isn't the only thread I've been lurking in. Far from it. One of twenty four in fact (my age, as it happens - oh the irony).

The thing being, when I did happen to fall, it's just possible that I lost my rhythm stick, you see - it's lost. Mislaid if you will - or stolen perhaps. I don't 'expect' foul play as such - but in this day and age (and this forum in particular) you just can't rule it out I'm afraid.

It's not the end of the world - I do have a spare as it were (not in the bowling sense) and will continue to hit people with it (in both a rhythmic and - ironically - a non-rhythmic sense) until the cows come home (which they invariably do around 7.20pm this time of year).

Last-gasp wins are a real treat

by Gary Silke

The joy of the last-minute winner. With 89 minutes on the scoreboard, you have grudgingly accepted a point and you are thinking of home.

But wait - up pops Barry Hayles and suddenly it's three points, thank you, and we are up to 15th place, leap-frogging our nearest and dearest, Coventry City, just to make it even sweeter.

It is not the first time a Leicester player has shinned a looping ball beyond the keeper's reach for the winner in the last minute of a game against Crystal Palace - as an irate Eagles fan observed on a messageboard in language I could not repeat here.

Read the full story in today's Leicester Mercury.

A real treat?

What a tosser.

Any news on my 'rhythm stick'?

Anyone?
