Lacroix needs to be made captain and Riad starts for Canvot against Forest.

 

[JHB]

F**k me we scored an actual goal

 

[ASCPFC]

Surely they could disallow that?

For those who keep saying that 'it's irrelevant as Canvot handball stopped the ball going in the goal'... This is from the IFAB website

Great assist from Riad, not sure he knew about it though

 

[Eagle Mac]

Up until today I was not worried about relegation because I thought once we got some of the missing and injured back we would pick up our play but after watching this mess I think we are in real trouble. We may not win another game for quite some time and West Ham is looking better. Maybe it is just my inner Willo but I am worried now.

We will be fine. Our end of season form is pretty good and we always nick a few games against the grain. Granted we are in an abysmal run of form but we’ve seen in the past that this can change around quickly. IMO if we can pickup a decent new manager and get rid of OG the lame duck, then we will get a quick bounce back.

this referee is Tim Henman's cv.nt cousin.

 

[Foxy82]

Personally I think they should have disallowed it, just for continuity

 

[Eaglehamster]

Memory isn't what it was. When did we last win a match?
It's grey and raining, the country is skint and boy does it show.
All news is bad. Palace add a little vomit on that plateful of s***.

You need to look at the laws for denial of a goal scoring opportunity not handball

Great assist from Riad, not sure he knew about it though

I’m just glad he didn’t get injured

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

I would get Lap Hing (ring a ding ding) out of retirement. When the chips are down, he knows how to manage a small squad and get results.

 

[TheBigToePunt]

I do not disagree about lack of leadership on the pitch, however who sold the Captain without finding like for like replacement?

In fairness, same captain who played against Newcastle, Macclesfield, Leeds, Fulham, Spurs....

Not blaming Guehi for those results, but his presence didn't prevent them. Cashing in was the right thing to do.

If anyone knows of a player as good as Guehi, within our budget, whose club will sell him and who wants to come to palace, fair enough. Not aware of one myself.

 

[mtp1958]

that would have made it 3-2 game on , its ok Var didnt cancel our goal

100%, Hendo gets it off nostalgia

 

[Frenchaigle]

If Mateta had scored and VAR had intervened different game .
But we haven't been great .
These second half's have been shocking

 

[Plaistow Eagle]

I am going to say it. I just can’t see Ollie changing this round. We are not going to go on a 19 game run with this team. No inform Eze and no Rolls Royce MG.

This is going to be an out and out relegation scrap. I think we will survive but at the start of this run we were 4th. f***ing 4th!!!

We need a new man in NOW. Not see it out the season. How is Ollie going to motivate these players when they know he is going. Just go. It’s like death from a thousand cuts. Get the new man in and give him just under half a season to see what he needs in the summer (thats as long as he can work with the budget of district Sunday league team).

If somebody had said to me in November we would be in this situation by January I would have laughed.

Don't know why your blaming Glasner - this is all on Parish..!!

Yes get a new man in - but that man needs to be replace Parish - he has single handedly destroyed everything we achieved last year..!!

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

feels exactly like Macclesfield, all over again

 

[Den1923]

Without signing any replacement let alone one of similar calibre.

Canvot wasn’t really bought as an oven ready player, he was bought for the future, however he has been thrust in when he isn’t ready and is suffering because of it.

Exactly, this whole season we have had a bench of two GK and a few youngsters who were never ready for elite football and limited OG ability to change things from the bench. I am really worried for our survival!

 

[Racehorse-80s]

Chelsea were for the taking , so disappointed with the attitude of the players and lack of change in tactics by the Manager ..
