Crystal Palace vs. Southampton match thread

[glazedallover]

Awful sub timing again and kamada is such a waste of time.

a better team would have beaten us today we was still very sloppy passing and keeping the ball.

Wind Up Merchant.

When Hughes was subbed off, who got the Captain's armband?

Just seen that it was the 'keeper.

Great Result - with Everton and Leicester losing - a good day
20pts at the half way point
Didn't look like that was possible after 10 games

 

[Eagleman13]

Phew. TFFT

 

[VinceHilaire]

It’s 3 points…..just enjoy the result and ‘try’ not to criticise.

We just keep giving

Could this be the year we go down ?

Have some faith

You’re probably gutted that we won

 

[Foxy82]

An unconvincing, yet relatively comfortable 3 points.

Definitely need to call for reinforcements in January though, time to open the chequebook Mr Parish!

 

[rob1969]

A win - 3 points !
That’s all that matters just now -enjoy!

I honestly think we were very unlucky in front of goal today. Well a mixture of good keeping and that. If we had the run of the turf we could easily have been 3-1 up at half time.
Second half our defence managed the game very well to protect our lead.

Two points behind Man U.

Two points behind Man U.

And only 4 behind Spurs. These are two teams I would love to finish higher than this season and there is no reason why not if we buy sensibly in the upcoming window. We do need bodies however.

Agreed. After 8 games we were on 3 points so that’s 17 points from the last 11. We will end up a lot higher.
F great result today COYP!!

 

[PalazioVecchio]

we might even get above ManUre in the table

I will take the three valuable points, thank goodness, we needed to win and we did 🙂

The only (and yet massive) positive from today was the 3 points.

Southampton were one of the poorest teams I've seen at Selhurst in recent times, and yet me made hard work of it.

I recognise we can't always play well, but there was lots of sloppy passing today even when not under pressure from the opponent.

We will need to sharpen up our act v Chelsea.

The good news is that we've hit 20 points after a daunting run of recent fixtures.
I think many of us thought a few weeks ago that we'd do well to get 16 points at this stage.

Off topic, but watching the Spammers. I do not want AWB back at Palace.

Fast Eddie's on for a cameo.

First time I hrard a yellow card called a cameo

Because he wears it like a brooch. Hughes has made a sandwich board out of his.

Welcome points.

I’ve tried to be silent on Kamada but f*** me, the man can’t pass, can’t shoot and can’t run. I’ve been watching since 1978 and I can’t remember seeing a player more out of depth at Palace.

Jordan Mutch, although comparing the two isn't flattering for Kamada at all.

And not forgetting our best ever value for money player Max Meyer.
