Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest match thread

[JHB]

Just watched the highlights again and worrying how OG said the players were basically knackered during the second half…second week of the season. He is going to have to start rotating the squad.

To do that you actually have to have a squad to rotate

The Glasner post match press conference is so different to the pre-match one. Far more optimistic, resilient and inspiring.

He knows Esse’s shortcomings as a ten but quickly points out Devenny’s also, which is why he wants to bring someone in and he seemed so much more confident in doing so. He knows what he needs, assists and goals, so up to the fringe players to deliver them if they want to break into the team.

Watched the full 90 minutes on Palace tv plus.
I think it was the Sky commentary.
You wouldn't have thought that Palace were even playing.
Every comment was about Nottingham Forest and their players.
Saying that Forest still needed more players even though they have already spent millions on 5 or 6 players
Not one mention of Palace needing more players.
Unbelievably biased commentary.
I think it was Peter Drury and Efan Ekoku.
Typical Sky.

Nothing new then. When they comment on Palace, it will be some negative fact from long ago.

It's usually them selling our players before the player even knows about it. "They'd do well at [insert big team here]. They've been looking for that kind of player.".

I wonder how easy it'd be to get that banner back into the City Ground...

I don’t know what the fuss is about; if Notts Forest are complaining about it, then either they have no sense of humour or they see inference in there to something that is embarrassing for them.

Probably going off piste with the thread at the moment, but I thought Mitchell was good.Seemed involved a lot. Maybe the cover/competition for his position is working.
Repeat in other areas of field please.

Due you not think he may be having a dig a Parish, clearly he is right how can the same 13 players be expected to remain injury free and turnout on Wednesday and a Sunday time and time again (a bi if but assuming they progress on Thursday). Let's face it our bench is a complete joke and an embarrassment at EPL level. The only person to blame for the situation we are in is the man at the top Parish!

Funny really. We went years with no left back cover. Now we have that, we don't have cover in any other position. It's almost like we can't do more than one thing at a time. Does every single thing need to be passed by Parish?
Customer wants refund on a bad pint in the fan zone, ring Parish? Out of toilet roll, ring Parish?
Transfer dealings are a couple of meetings at most. Three would be loads. And you do not need the owner there at the initial stages.
